Or like Denver, there was a story a few weeks back about people dying more from heart problems during the lockdown due to not going to the hospital.

Yup. I work in the operating rooms in a large hospital. We’ve seen patients with cancer being caught at later stages because people weren’t able to go to regular check ups and screenings. We’ve seen patients that stayed home with heart attack symptoms because they were afraid they would catch covid in the ED. We’ve also seen what would’ve been simpler cases like patients with appendicitis coming in with their appendix already ruptured because they were hoping it was just a bad stomach ache that would go away.

In a city near me in CA, one of the hospitals reported a record number of suicides and suicide attempts in their ER since the lockdown. I can’t imagine the toll this has all truly taken on peoples’ health.

I'm aghast that masks are still being forced on us. I won't stop being pissed until there is justice.

pretty sure most the CO deaths are also nursing homes, we got a bunch of reports that popped up that everyone in them was infected weeks after they locked down the nursing homes to prevent anyone from being infected.

Getting actual news in colorado is like pulling teeth from an alligator with pliers you bought from walmart. been that way for many years.
