I really wouldn't be surprised if we're over 300k by year end.

Also Trump in 2020 : As the president of the United States you can not hold me responsible for the inadequate and incompetent way I handled the pandemic, nor for all the people that have died due to that inadequacy and incompetence.
Make sure his father (or other male role model) is very encouraging and supportive too—-Trump’s father was the main abusive figure in that household.
Can we just not have political commentary on one subject on bored panda? Makes me want to stop reading them.
Excuse me, folks. But President Trump never ordered Democratic governors to put people recovering from Covid in nursing homes. In the exercise of the division of power in a Republic, governors make the decisions for their states, not the president, and ten of those governors acted in concert by placing sick people in nursing homes and thus, raising the number of Covid deaths by 40% (NYT).
Clearly someone didn't hug you enough for you not to hate on people with different political opinions.
And if you blame a president for 190,000 people dying, I hope your kid realizes you’re a brainwashed idiot
and that's maybe a conservative estimate...it might be more...
And if everyone respected the office and not the man or woman in it, we'd all be better off. But I forgot, respect is not taught much anymore
OMG! Somebody murdered 150,000 people??!!! That has to be a record! I'm surprised you know big words like emasculate. You MUST be a Trump supporter!
If she's talking about the plandemic, the CDC has confirmed it's actually only 6% of those initially reported... do your homework! The vaccine will kill more than that.
Yes, num-nuts handling the virus! No wonder people vote for Trump! They can't get this minor distinction?
His lack of action and incomptance has killed many. The fact he has denied its severity and down played it long term affects will cost more lives. The fact that he is literally forcing people into homelessness or bankruptcy or risking their lives and their families lives is pure dictatorship. The buck stops at the top and he is the top. To claim his actions have not killed anyone is pure ignorance. F**k you and F**k Trump.

Load More Replies...As the oldest of six Id very often be asked to help. I learned around age 5 as soon as I heard my name to run to the closet and hide with a book. By age 8 I had a little library in closet. I thought I was so clever but seeing as I never got in trouble I'm sure my parents were in on it.
Protip for new parents: don't play the floor is lava in the family home.
Bored Panda reached out to Anita Cleare, a parenting expert and author of "The Work/Parent Switch", who agreed to share her insights on parenting during these uncertain times. Because we’re all trying to make it work at home, in reality, things are not going as smoothly as we’d like them to.
Anita said that for many people, “Not knowing what is going to happen is really stressful. And it makes it hard to plan and get organized—something that working parents desperately need to do in order to meet all our commitments.”
Since there are no givens about what will or won’t happen in the next few months, many parents find themselves in a nerve-wracking situation. “Schools might be open but they could close at a moment’s notice. That day out with her friends that your daughter is looking forward to? It might be canceled, who knows,” the parenting expert explained.
Anita also said that parents are used to controlling the controllables and making the world safe and fun for our kids. However, right now, there is so much we can’t control. “The only way to get through this is to focus on what we can control, the little things. Small routines and traditions that we do every day or every week with our kids to make them feel safe.”

Anita suggests starting small. “Like always saying goodnight to them using the same words. Making pancakes together on a Saturday morning. Playing a family board game on a Sunday afternoon. Snuggling up for a story together every evening.”
When the big stuff is out of control, “focusing on the little things that make a big difference will make us all a lot calmer, and we will be able to support our children to feel more secure too,” the parenting expert concluded.
Because a trusting relationship with your children is based upon a constant surveillance... And no it doesn't help them if they are kidnapped because kidnappers ditch the phone.

Having just had a front tooth implant, apparently a significant number of mums have root canals from toddlers smashing them in the face with various objects. Yes my toddler head butted me, I got a root canal, then my tooth got brittle and finally splintered needing an implant to fix
my wife is from southern France, and lives now on the east...she still calls her favorite kind of pastry "chocolatine" but here, everybody knows that the correct name is "pain de chocolat" :-)
When my daughter found out about the tooth fairy she chuckled. I asked her what was so funny and she said "Well Dad, I'm imagining you wearing a pink tut and glittery wings prancing about" I'm a bit on the chubby side.
