      All I want to know is how the death count ended up being 2 when the person died WITH covid and not FROM covid. Didn’t they retract the last death count for this same issue ??

    How the hell after a year the government still have unvaccinated front line line workers on government payroll. How can a nurse, a Doctor, an Elderly care taker in these positions of responsibility telling government they not taking vaccine and still remain on the Job, on Government payroll..Good leaders make tough decisions...Look what's going on, the place infested,.. because government refused to make hard decisions...

      It’s simple the test wasn’t meant to test for covid so you’ll get all kinda random results depending on how you amplify the test

    I blogged on the article when our cases were 600+.. In a Nut shell I am asking persons atop all the foolish obscenities and blame game; instead help me pray for God’s Continuous Love and Mercy for us all in the earth and also for His Deliverance . WE NEED GOD MORE THAN EVER NOW!.. we also need to repent of our sins and live right for God as best we can Honoring Him with our lives.. we were created to worship Him .. Please I beg all of us to do this..

    Well God and nature's judgment is coming for those unvaccinated souls not willing to do the selfless act to take the vaccine for the greater good of the people, especially those who are vulnerable who cannot take the vaccine due to medical conditions. The people had the choice to take the vaccine and now they live or die with the consequent of that choice. Hope you are ready for it.

      GOD didn’t make no vaccine so he’s not coming for the unvaccinated, talk with sense!. If the people don’t want to vaccinate leave them alone!! You choose your own faith. Just like how we have to answer to GOD alone.

    Look folks whether u like it or not COVID IS REAL!!! U can choose to take the vaccine or not, where a mask or not, take precautions or not. It's a personal decision. Bottom line is if it's coming for u, it's coming! Until u lose someone u know, a family member, a friend of a friend etc. Then you'll sit up and take notice. Do what u can to protect yourself, then PRAY u do not become a victim. Take this virus seriously. There is no conspiracy!!!!!
