Libs and lefties are cheering Alabama (southern) stats because they think that it is all the white Replublican Trump anti-vaxxers. You know that it is true. Read the comment section of articles on death rates / new case rates if you want to see ignorant leftist hate.

"Read the comment section" - yeah, I think I'll pass on that hot tip. but thanks for playing

Are you saying the people who comment on NPR articles and FB posts don't exist?

Let people live the way they choose to. Why are liberals so judgmental? They claim to be open minded. They have sympathy for gay people who die from Aids but they have no sympathy for people who die from Covid. They have sympathy for people who die from suicide or drug overdose also. We should feel the same for everyone who dies. Stop being judgmental of the dead. It is disgusting.

I honestly just don't care

I thought your narrative was that we are TOO sympathetic for COVID victims? Pick a lane.

Over half the COVID deaths in Alabama were African-American though only about 25 percent of the population.

Everybody still cheering?

Yeah, the 3r Rail of Covid, you cannot question black people about their reluctance to get vaccinated. You can only scream and criticize those dumb ol' rednecks.

Over half of the entire black population of the USA still lives in The South (the remaining 45% or so are spread between a few areas in the US), so any time you are highly critical of southern schools performance, healthcare, poverty rates, etc.. you must take this into account.

In short, when you mock The South, you are mocking black folks, and that makes you a racist (at least in 2021 terms.)

This is a public health disaster and there's nothing here to cheer about - especially because it was completely preventable. So if you think 'the libs' are hailing this as a piece of 'told you so', that call is coming from inside the house.

Deaths exceeded births in 25 states but NPR focuses on Alabama. Why is that?

Alabama has not had deaths exceed births in over 100 years. Not during WWII and not during the Spanish Flu. Alabama has seen steady population growth for over 100 years and has always been a relatively young state demographically.

In the two weeks since college football kicked off & Fauci said packed stadiums would be superspreaders cases are down 44% in Florida, 43% in Tennessee, 35% in Georgia, 32% in South Carolina, 30% in Mississippi, 22% in Arkansas, 23% in Bama, & 9% in Texas. Every SEC state is down

Damn! Maybe we need to hurry up and let some more liberal voters cross our southern borders.

Population growth in a state isn't just deaths and births. People actually change residents and move to different geographic locations.

Alabama's population

Year Population % Change

2018 4,887,871 0.26

2019* 4,903,512 0.32

2020 5,024,279 Census Population by APRIL 1, 2020

2021* 5,038,849 0.29

Very telling that people in this thread would rather point to jokes about demographics that discussion the tragedy of failed COVID mitigation.

"Owning the libs" has superseded any rational thought.

Same here my man. I don’t know why people let Covid and death control their life. You only live one time and all these people are wasting it on being terrified of a virus that only kills a handful of people. Even if it does kill you, do you really want to live in today’s society where every day we’re devolving as a species?

Wait, that doesn't fit the narrative.

I knew the demographics ... and new the numbers for AA deaths.

C'mon y'all keep cheering for the deaths of African-Americans.

"Completely preventable"

Explain to us how you would have prevented this, since clearly you're smarter than all the people in charge. Also maybe change your definition of "public health crisis." There was a disease that spread and killed (well, all we know is that they tested positive and died, in many cases it was something else that killed them) 0.03% of the population.

Alan, I don't think you're stupid, but you do tend to regurgitate propaganda. NPR is absolute sh-t propaganda. Didn't you fall for this garbage? And if you did, shouldn't you question yourself about your judgment?

Let's provide evidence of the ongoing lies, with NPR included...

It was ALL fake...

So, the moral of the story is, if the MSM and D politicians are going ham against something, they're lying to you.

Get it, yet?

Kind of a big deal...

Covid19 was the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States in 2020.

Three percent of the U.S. population would be ~10 million; 0.3 percent would be ~1 million; 0.03% would be ~100,000.

I have news: The number of American Covid dead is approaching SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND. So your "stat" is off by a factor of about seven.

It's one thing to be bad with arithmetic (shucks, we're all bad with something or other); it's another thing to ADVERTISE your ignorance.

So you're admitting that being anti-vaxx is similar to the mental health problems that often plague victims of suicide and drug abuse?

You're right though anti-vaxx syndrome should be identified as a mental health crisis.

They have the lowest vaccination rate in the US and they're all Democrats....wake up Dems!
