TOP 10 COUNTDOWN FOR 2020 Topic



With all the news about covid-19 and the tragic deaths, a headline caught my eye. It claimed covid-19 was the #1 cause of death in 2020. In fact, it wasn't the only one. There were several. THAT didn't sound right to me so I did a little research.

This has led us to our 2020 TOP TEN causes of death in the USA COUNTDOWN. And who better to help than CASEY KASUM.

Now these are the latest numbers available according to a CDC website. In fact, as I was searching, it caused me to wonder why ALL but 2 causes of death are from 2019. I understand why we have the latest numbers on covid-19 AND I get why the others are from 2019......BUT.....one of them is dated 2017. Hmmm........

Before we get started, there are a few honorable mentions:

GUNS did not make our list. The 2019 numbers for Gun related death was 15,292. This year it spiked up tremendously to an estimated 41,000! EVEN SO.....it does not beat out another killer that failed to make our top 10....

SUICIDE did not make our top 10. The 2019 total was 48,344, MORE than the estimated 2020 gun death total. The 2020 suicide numbers are sure to be demoralizing.

Without farther ado here are our top 10.

Coming in at #10: Kidney disease - 51,386 CDC calls it nephritis.

#9: Diabetes - 84,946

#8: Alzheimers - 122,019

#7: Stroke - 147,810

#6: Chronic Lower Respiratory - 159,486 (I bet every COVID 19 patient had that)

#5: Accidents-167,127 (I imagine that includes cars)

#4: COVID-19 - 352,000

#3: Cancer - 599,274

#2: Heart Disease - 655,381

And that take us to the #1 KILLER in the United States of America.

Jesus Christ.

well, gonna report you again.
Thou shalt not use the Lords name in vain.

You go ahead and report me. I forgive you.

You should know the picture shown is from an actual investigation. A dead body was reported. When the police got there they discovered this....a plastic baby doll. Have a nice day.

Realistic-looking doll thought to be dead baby spurs crime scene in Queens
By Eyewitness News


BAYSIDE, Queens (WABC) -- A realistic-looking baby doll was found in some tall grass in Queens Tuesday morning, spurring a police investigation.

A runner spotted what she thought was a baby around 8:15 a.m. in the grassy area outside Crocheron Park on 215th Street and 35th Avenue in Bayside.

Police initially reported that a 3-month-old baby was pronounced dead at the scene, and detectives descended on the park in droves as a crime scene tent was set up.

Once the Medical Examiner arrived on the scene, authorities determined that it was indeed a doll and not a baby.

Officials said the doll was wearing a diaper and had bruising suggestive of having once been a living infant. Still, while shocked residents were relieved to learn the truth, many wondered how the incident could go on for hours before the doll was discovered.

No one touched the baby or attempted to render any sort of aid, and EMS even "declared" it dead at 7:58 a.m. without a physical exam. It wasn't until 11 a.m. that the Medical Examiner made the ruling.

So a dead baby pic is offensive, but feeding aborted fetuses to your dog isn't? No misguided and lopsided judgement there. FWIW, I agree about the baby pic, but if you're gonna complain about people, complain about them all fairly and on even terms.

If I complained about every joke I’d be no better than you.

yes, a dead baby pic is more offensive than a stupid joke. There is no misguided or lopsided judgment with that.

The baby doll picture was sickening but I’m not rushing to report it.
I do draw a line with feces.
