    What fake news are you referring to?
    Sick, tired, hungry, broke, busted, disgusted, can't be trusted, been imposed on and won't fight

    I took off for a weekend last month
    Just to try and recall the whole year
    All of the faces and all of the places
    Wonderin' where they all disappeared
    I didn't ponder the question too long
    I was hungry and went out for a bite
    Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum
    And we wound up drinkin all night
    It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
    Nothing remains quite the same
    With all of our running and all of our cunning
    If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane
    Reading departure signs in some big airport
    Reminds me of the places I've been
    Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
    Makes me want to go back again
    If it suddenly ended tomorrow
    I could somehow adjust to the fall
    Good times and riches and son of a bitches
    I've seen more than I can recall
    It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
    Nothing remains quite the same
    Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
    If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane
    I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine
    I wish I could jump on a plane
    So many nights I just dream of the ocean
    God I wish I was sailin' again
    Oh, yesterday's over my shoulder
    So I can't look back for too long
    There's just too much to see waiting in front of me
    And I know that I just can't go wrong
    With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
    Nothing remains quite the same
    With all of my running and all of my cunning
    If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane
    If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane
    If we weren't all crazy we would go insane

    That's right when it's factored into millions of people that lowly percentage wont matter to you until it affects you or someone in your family... You are welcome

    So there are millions of people in our military? Who knew lol
    Didn't read the article huh?
    I personally know 2 people that have died from covid, hasn't changed my mind about anything regarding it. I've known dozens that have died from cancer including my father, I know which one makes me a Lil nervous and which one doesn't.

    Not fake news, good news that our military has been able to make covid a non-factor mortality wise.

    But it's okay for guys like you to dismiss those minute per centages of people harmed by the vaccine. That won't matter to you until it happens close to home. How ironic.

    It's a shame that those troops lost their lives, no matter the cause, but an even bigger shame that incompetent leadership caused 260% more deaths among our military in August than did the virus.

    Reports like to bounce around between an actual number, or a percentage, depending on how bad, how less bad, or how good they want it to sound. Most people are statistically challenged. But even very tiny percentages can still be bad, like the percentage of the general population that ends up hospitalized with covid. It's a very tiny percentage, but the actual number is high enough to fill our hospitals to capacity.

    Demographic for the military is generally young and healthy, so the mortality rate from COVID will be low. It's low amongst professional athletes too and young people in general. Amongst the elderly and people with health conditions such as diabetes, the mortality rate is higher.

    The part that is scary to me is the fact that the militarily is the best of the best with great health care. This statement says it all to me. So far, the military has reported 34 deaths from COVID-19, for a 0.01 percent death rate. While it’s still far lower than the overall U.S. rate of 1.7 percent, that rate is 25 times higher than it was last year.

    He hasn't watched his dad die on a ventilator with a nurse holding the phone because you could not go in the hospital to be with him.
