1. Why don't we see this on the news?

We see the loudmouth yahoo denying COVID before intubation, but this little slideshow is LOTS of people, in lots of hospital settings.

Abbott's got COVID, but we're not hearing about the extra morgue trucks being brought in.

It's like the GOP/Corporate media want the pandemic to continue for profits--they've invested in pharma as they've given dangerous medical advice without the I'm not a doctor disclaimer. They've assiduously kept images of death off the TV, just like they did during Iraq and Afghanistan (until now). DeSantis is using the pandemic to distribute vouchers for parents to take public money to private schools. Never let a crisis go to waste.

We don't need images daily of people getting shots int their arms, but of those who didn't. We may not want to see the dead and they dying, but until we do as a nation, we'll be mired in this ever-evolving virus quicksand indefinitely.
