@@cdromschannel My point is that anything is deadly and a virus in which the overwhelming majority of people who get it survive is not worth worrying about.
@@egirI Actually, there are a few reasons why you’re wrong in assuming that COVID-19 is nothing to worry about. 1. COVID-19 has a case fatality ratio of 1-3%, which is actually a lot higher than one would expect; it means that for every 100 people who contract the disease, at least 1 to 3 people will die. This is comparable to the H1N1 strain of influenza, which had a case fatality rate of 1-4%, though not as high as SARS (which was over 10%). By comparison, the case fatality rate of seasonal flu in the US is less than 0.1%. 2. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is still relatively unknown compared to most strains of the influenza virus that cause the seasonal flu, and the long-term effects of COVID-19 have yet to be understood even by infectious disease experts. Unlike SARS, which killed mostly older people, COVID-19’s fatalities also include many people not within the danger zones, which is a great cause for concern because we still can’t tell who exactly will recover quickly and who will fall seriously ill. 3. Aside from the people who contract COVID-19, we also have to take into account the strain on healthcare systems around the world. Resources devoted to treating a COVID-19 patient are resources that are diverted away from those suffering from other diseases. Naturally, if the disease is allowed to spread, the number of people being admitted to hospital (i.e. those who suffer from severe symptoms) will be significantly higher; as such, a failure to control the disease’s spread among the general public will invariably lead to additional burdens on the healthcare system, which in turn will affect all of its dependants. In short: we absolutely DO need to take COVID-19 seriously, even if it doesn’t seem that deadly to some people.

It's hard to even imagine a landslide election nowadays. The Democrats hold a ton of responsibility for losing to some 78 yr old with a 1:1 win loss record.
@colinmcc8564 with elon owning Twitter he owns so much of the narrative, same with Rogan and rumble, truth social, bubbles on Facebook, Newsmax, fox news, and more all bringing this deceitful narrative forward that Trump is the key to unlocking cheaper groceries and fixing everything, this propaganda machine has been too powerful for the traditional, presidential, and dignified campaign by the democrats to compete with. So many voters never even found out what policies harris brought forward. Simply because their algorithms figured they didn't really care to know. The simple ideas by trump that he would be good on all these very basic issues, without offering much substance, was more than enough to convince enough people to imagine their policies for trump in their own positive image. It didn't matter that biden has been getting inflation and crime down, because these algorithms don't care about letting their victims know the true numbers, it's just vibes and anecdotes, and for all the voters frustrated with their situations, happily accepted anecdotal evidence as evidence of what the larger picture is because it's usually easier to jump on board the opposition when life is tough, even when the policies and authoritarianism of that opposition are deeply concerning. Democrats need to figure out how to reach out in this new world, and not let the far right dominate the narrative, because they abuse it by using lies and manipulation to get power. Not figuring this out is an existential threat to democracy because the far right don't nearly have the respect for democracy that they should. 2020 election denialism is a very clear example. Truth (there being no evidence after all these years) did not stop this push either, which tells you all you need to know about how much they give a cr@p about democracy or the truth.
The people with power saw Barack being elected as a symbol of their dwindling power base, so the level of political attacks on him and the level to which some on the right would stoop started going downhill about this time. That time is also around the time social media became much more mainstream a la Facebook - so bigger, sh/ttier piles of bullsh/t ideas could reach far more people. When I think back to WHEN exactly America was Great(er), it might have been moments in time but never consistently. Moments like right after 9/11 and how unified everyone was for a couple days after. And moments like the video, when the highest symbol of hope and change came to fruition with Obama's election. A few people became terrified of what they might be losing and led a charge to retain it by any means. Social media allows this disease to spread like wildfire.

@@pigs18 Thank you for sharing. Of course, we can’t leave out NC. I did not support Obama in the Democratic primary, but like many people even across the spectrum I did respect him for doing the groundwork of building support in reddish purple states, such as NC. He will never receive as much credit as he is due for reaching across party lines and trying to give the Democratic Party a huge umbrella. That said, regarding 2024, although Harris is riding a tsunami of Democratic enthusiasm, I don’t think that enthusiasm will translate to enough votes - the fact is that Trump has played the long game and, like Obama, has done a lot of leg work in building a base in those purple states. I question whether a couple months is enough time to siphon enough independents and weak Trump supporters to win. If she does win, the margin will be razor thin.
@@Whoretensia There wasn't that enthusiasm in 2020 either. It was more enthusiasm to not vote Trump. It will likely come down to whether she can tap into that well again.

It was one of the happiest days of my life. My first presidential election that I got to vote in, I campaigned for him in Missouri where I was from and was going to my freshman year of college. I saw him speak 3 times. When he won, I burst out of the dorm into the quad and joined hundreds of celebrating peers. We have fallen SO far, SO fast, and to be frank it all started with the racist backlash to this moment in our history, which we knew would come but which nobody truly anticipated the ferocity of.

What has happened to the Democratic Party as well. Now republicans lean so far right and democrats lean so far left. We all need to join forces and pull them back together.
@@wp4872 the democratic leaders so not lean left lmao. joe biden is a republican.
@@wp4872 dems are not leaning left. If they was then Bernie would've been nominated. Stop living in ur own reality. That's the problem with America, people will believe things based on nothing but stupidness.
@@Yourztrulydaboy joe is far from a republican. Ur no better than the person your replying too. Wow.
What has happened to the democrat party? Why did you change election laws in swing states on a election year? Why did you break state election laws in PA, NV and GA?
Why would you do that then question why the Republicans are challenging the election LEGALLY as they are LEGALLY entitled to do?
Everyone knows Joe is a racist 70s era segregationist we have his career to prove it, so why is hate overcoming love? Democrats don't even like Biden at all, they just hate Trump.
Hate is winning after 4 years of lies and fraud.
Half of America sees through you.
I still get emotional. I come back to watch these videos to find hope. Trump has created so much racial division and destroyed this country.
Not much hope in the future.. relativism and college kids have taken the party over
You mean Obama didn’t end up giving you hope like he said he would? 😂
@@Dman425 the affordable care act and his stimulus gave permanent hope to millions of people but go off
Biden 2020
@Jacob Guffey by what metrics do you define it as the “slowest economic recovery in US history”? And which other recoveries are you comparing it to for your analysis? I’d be interested to hear about how you came to that conclusion, unless of course you’re just parroting the same right-wing talking points as all your brainless compatriots 😉
This brought tears to my eyes remembering where I was and the thoughts and feelings that ran through me the night he won.
I was at Cornell in college town !
Wow, that hologram thing looks soooo baaaad in 2020. Reminds me of that goofy ass "holographic communicator" they had on DS9. Otherwise known as "an actor standing on set with a bright light above them '
And people wonder why Pike had the Holocoms ripped out of the enterprise. LOL
Can someone edit a three minute version of our 4-day election night?
We’re never going to have this again
Everything looks so peaceful back then.
Obama divided the country
Interesting how everyone is talking about seeing this in 2020 for that election but I got it recommend in 2024.
Wow. Republicans used to accept the results when they lost, crazy times
Weird democrats never did
@@simplelogic9090Democrats never raided the capitol or demanded 11,760 votes. Nor did they claim the upcoming election would be rigged for a year beforehand.
When he won Virginia and Ohio, we all knew it was over.
For me it was North Carolina. I knew that if the map went blue that far south that the moderate states were going to follow suit. Same thing with the 2024 election. Whoever can make the biggest dent into either the red or blue territory will be taking the oath in January.
@@pigs18 Thank you for sharing. Of course, we can’t leave out NC. I did not support Obama in the Democratic primary, but like many people even across the spectrum I did respect him for doing the groundwork of building support in reddish purple states, such as NC. He will never receive as much credit as he is due for reaching across party lines and trying to give the Democratic Party a huge umbrella. That said, regarding 2024, although Harris is riding a tsunami of Democratic enthusiasm, I don’t think that enthusiasm will translate to enough votes - the fact is that Trump has played the long game and, like Obama, has done a lot of leg work in building a base in those purple states. I question whether a couple months is enough time to siphon enough independents and weak Trump supporters to win. If she does win, the margin will be razor thin.
@@Whoretensia There wasn't that enthusiasm in 2020 either. It was more enthusiasm to not vote Trump. It will likely come down to whether she can tap into that well again.
Watching in 2024...I hope to see such a thing in November.
@@UltraObscene84 Just wait bro 😝😝😝🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙
@@dfg-rg3pdno with Kamala
😢
12 years later. chills. Tomorrow will be historic.
@Mr. Wonderful you guys are going to look like such idiots if he loses
Please be aware that with many people voting absentee due to covid, the results may take some time.
@Mr. Wonderful lol Trump said: "STOP THE COUNT!" is that winning?
well trump lost
@Mr. Wonderful Trump lost! What u gonna do now?
The reaction of John McCain to Obama's victory shows the true character of mr John McCain. RIP JOHN MCCAIN you are a great man.
It was a powerful day, powerful. That’s all I can say
I remember, I was eight years old. My mom was working that night and my dad called her when he won. My school held a mock election for us kids and I legit cried when he won because he was who I picked. That was really one of the first times I realized how amazing America could be
Why? He was a shitty president.
lovely , mccain is such a graceful human .
This hope is something Americans haven't felt since.
@@nooodisaster Because of him
*false hope. Obama was owned by the same wealthy zionists as every other leader.
you kidding? plenty of people are hopeful right now. Recent election is almost as much of a landslide/changing of the guard as this was.
One of my favorite parts of this video is how excited CNN was to show off their new tech
John King been doin this a looooong time
Clicking on a video uploaded 16 years ago shakes my soul a little bit
It doesn't feel right.....feels like it wasn't *THAT* long ago
It was one of the happiest days of my life. My first presidential election that I got to vote in, I campaigned for him in Missouri where I was from and was going to my freshman year of college. I saw him speak 3 times. When he won, I burst out of the dorm into the quad and joined hundreds of celebrating peers. We have fallen SO far, SO fast, and to be frank it all started with the racist backlash to this moment in our history, which we knew would come but which nobody truly anticipated the ferocity of.
Unfortunately Obama helped and continues to help stoke those divisions. I have a lot of nostalgia for that era but he was a letdown.
Calling Pennsylvania with 0% of the vote in is wild
Back then Pennsylvania was a safe blue state
This is so fucking sad to watch in Nov 2024
Why
Hello from Election Day 2024!
Watching this 2 days after election day, 2024. It's remarkable how far backwards we have gone.
@@ryanwhitlock7350 backwards from what exactly unlimited wars ?
@@evanmitchell1128 thinking Trump is anti-war is borderline insane
@@gus8696no new wars under Trump, Isis destroyed, taliban withdrawal in order, Biden screwed it all up and now we have 2 more wars on our hand and taliban is out of control. North Korea is joining forces with Russia and China is about to invade Tiwan. All that under Biden.
That night I will never forget. I remember where I was at that presise moment. I was with a patient that was sleping when I heard that he had won from another nurse that came to tell me. I cried.
I swear 2008 didn't look like this... This looks like the 80's/90's
john king has been working that screen for 12 plus years lmaoooo
This made me tear up. It’s too bad that when trump loses, he won’t give an honorable concession speech like mccain
Didn’t your bro just die?
And why should he? 2020 was clearly riddled with voting fraud in places like Philadelphia and Detroit. Also, your music sucks and you were ass on Laugh Now Cry Later
I dont know if this comment was made before the 2020 election, but if it was this comment has aged beautifully
@@DonnyWinning2024 It's been three years, surely the courts have proven that voting fraud happened in all those states! Oh wait...
Hello 2024 algorithm. Good to see you ❤
Back when this stuff was respectful between both parties.
Back when liberals weren't painting their hair and identifying as animals
Watching this 12 years later makes me sad we’ve fallen so far
Lmao RUclips recommends this when the election is going to take over a week
There will never be a moment like this again! Two patriotic men not the nonsense we see today.
Oh yeah "patriotic"..? The guy whose wife said "This is the first time I have America good" at inauguration?? Lol gimme a break!
@@dbwillrise8 Yeah, why don't you try writing that again but make it coherent this time
i miss these times.
Dang the irony of it being re-recommended to people in 2020, and then now (at least for me) in 2024…
I just remember hearing this on the news while falling asleep with my family on the couch unaware of the significance of that night
“....and those who tell us that we CAN’T, WE will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people....yes we can.” 😲 Still gives me chills.
Who else went here to take comfort the night before the 2020 election?
Try taking comfort right before the 2024 election!
I love and respect John. Keep resting in peace John.
what a special, special night, and an incredible moment in history
Thank you RUclips for giving me this. I needed this for a relief from this mess we are in right now
Here in 2024. I think we went backwards once this man left office
Lol is that John king and why is there a hologram of some person
Man that was so weird seeing him so young and that hologram was awful lol

That WW2 statement is underrated
Congrats on 1 million subs
2:35 this is what losing an election should look like
Back when both parties had good people running for office.
Oh my god. I feel so sad. How times have changed. When MSM and News Networks were happy and there was no argument or riots on the streets over an election. How times have changed.
2024 and this still gives me the chills
Can’t wait for this to repeat in 2024 for Madam President Elect Harris!!! 💙🎉🇺🇸
Algorithm bringing this back in 2024. Hopefully 2024 will be another big night for Dems like 2008 was!
Anyone else watching this during the clusterfuck of Election Night in 2020?
It’s exciting to imagine hope prevailing again. BUT let’s not get overconfident now. We’ve got 89 days and a crowd of lawless protestors to deal with afterwards.
Democracy is here the for the long haul. We will defeat the disinformation campaigns that sow chaos and ruin in our country. We will return to law and order.
We’ve got a lot of work to do. We’ll sleep when we’re dead.
2024 algorithm here we go
RIP John McCain.
Let's do this again 💙💙💙 going ➡️. NOT GOING BACK
We went from this to what we’ve got now. How times have changed for the worse.
@@DrMario- What happened to "We are not going back" lmao
@@vanilla8956 america wanted to go back more than forward, i suppose
@@sungh00nzz whoosh
@@DrMario- we’re moving forward! Away from endless wars, away from wide open borders, away from overburdening taxes, away to massive amounts of money going overseas. We’re going towards a bright future
@@RunninGunner04ending war by electing the guy who managed to do more drone strikes than Obama in half the time
how the hell did he do it? what a sweep
its no 1980 reagan but thats a lot of electoral college votes
Love that one studio just messing around doing star wars shit
Rumor has it that John King is still at the magic wall
Surprised to see other people here too
