I'm just so sorry. I know the pain his family is feeling and I hope they are surrounded by love and support.

So we allowed Trump to pressure us to open up quickly- and look where we are.....Now we are going to allow him to pressure us to open schools early with no help from them... at what point are we the idiots for listening to this guy?

JeffBurlew What did he really die of? It's impossible for him to have died of covid19 .

Rest In Peace

So we’re really doing this now? A daily covid death post? 😐

Morbid obesity mixed with dysfunctional genetics. High risk Not surprising

That’s sad

melissaering80 So sad. RIP Jordan.

So saf

Tragic.

Ahhh, so, so sad. 😢💔

Trump ,said just the sniffles !

RIP young soul.

USA Today: Did you do stories on the 177 children under the age of 5 that died from the flu this year?

And we have the CorruptGOP who want to open everything back up. And they’re base don’t believe this virus is real but god is? Can anyone make sense of this?

So sad

The TrumpTrain is not concerned. TrumpVirusCatastrophe

May he RIP. So sad that a young life was cut short!

IAmSophiaNelson My Lord..so sad. My heart goes out to the family 🙏

So you are going to post about everyone who has died from COVID19 ?

Prayers for you and your family. God bless you young man!

Tragically sad.

🙏 🙏

Sorry for that, rip

How about the Covid victim from the motorcycle wreck...do him next

IAmSophiaNelson Sad as all get out 😢 My heartfelt condolences to his family & friends.

Any death is a tragedy but reporting only the extreme outcomes without providing context will create panic. With Fatality Rate of only 0.65% (even lower for youth) the risk associated with the disease does not warrant school shutdowns, massive unemployment and economic collapse.

rip Christopher Small I am glad that you managed to see your dream of completing your college degree. May you rest in peace with the angels of this time taken too soon.

He was obese. What were his other underlying conditions?

say a prayer for the soul of the departed

Keep searching for the most negative news you can find

Sorry to hear.. Deepest condolences to the Family.

😔🙏🏼

😢

💔

The world has been sent into self-isolation in an attempt to curb the spread of the virus. Developing new vaccines takes time, 1- Remdesivir 2- Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine 3- Favipiravir 4- Losartan Understand the available drugs that can help

Trump doesn’t care how many people die from this virus, What makes you think he gives a shit about what’s going on in Portland. It’s a political stunt to get him reelected,please expose this man

fwdcrocblu So sad.

IAmSophiaNelson RonDeSantisFL, GOP 👆👆👆👆👆. In a May Facebook post, he wrote: 'Finished Spring 2020 semester with all A’s!! Praise God!!” You don't care, but someone loves this young man.

This is a political stunt. He’s going to do this in every Democrat city if he can just to get reelected. What kind of president does this to the American people?

How about you run some stories about the children being gunned down in Chicago. Just saying.

🙏🏻

💔😭💔

But we are doing so much testing.

Janitor gets obituary in USA Today because he is a very rare under-65 who has died from a virus that the media wants everyone to believe is a global crisis. If it were, this obituary would be for Tom Hanks or any one of thousands of stars / athletes / politicians.

Tell me again how that mask is uncomfortable or depriving you of your freedoms. WearADamnMask WearAMask COVID19

What other health issues did he have Don't believe everything you read people...rip...

This to all the “it doesn’t affect young people” crowd.

Happy Monday! Simply put, ignore all this hate speech online. Just block it out. Block out the negativity. Surround yourself with the positive. My living motto.

Never forget Trump's delusions: 1/22 “We have it totally under control.” 2/10 “When it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away” 2/28 'this is their new hoax.' 6/17 “It’s fading away” 6/18 “The numbers are starting to get very good” 7/19 “It’s going to disappear”

Prayers for his family

'When Reopening Too Soon Goes Wrong....'

Thank Elon
