Stop Northam from continuing to ruin our lives!!
 

This is ridiculous. 1,620 have died out of 8.3 million people living in Virginia. But the truth is, how many of those people had pre-existing conditions? There are an average of 1.5 MILLION people on oxygen in the US. 660,000 people die from cancer EVERY YEAR in the United States. Official death certificates recorded 122,019 died of Alzheimer’s in 2018. I cannot wait to see those actual figures when they become available for 2020. The TRUTH, according to a downloadable spreadsheet available on the Va Department of Health’s website says that hospitalizations for ages 0-9 were 43 with zero deaths; hospitalizations age 10-19 were 56 with zero deaths, and hospitalizations for those 80+ were 900 hospitalizations with 755 deaths. That means that almost half of the deaths are from those over the age of 80. This is comparable data to that from the State of Georgia, which is readily available where ours is hidden, and shows that most people died in assisted living facilities, because they needed assistance with living. Northam is hiding the truth to push his own agenda.
