That looks like sketchy data. Where’s Russia, China, & Iran? Like I said before, take out that shite show we call NYC and see where the U.S. lands on the list. That’s what the CDC did.

BTW - who the hell is your source ...Statista?!?! What kind of horse shite is that? I’m using CDC data.

It is a nifty looking graph though! Flags and Red bars for a dramatic effect!

Virus deaths per million
LOL @ that cherry picked crap.

Belgium
UK
Spain
Italy
France

All have more deaths per million than the US.

Those 5 countries have more deaths per million than Sweden, as well. What's that Lassie? The harsh lockdowns were pointless?

Go pump fear somewhere else.

Which, I've seen, is I believe 100 times the actual national death rate in that age group (3 per million vs. 3-7 per ~10,000 FBS players).

Very poor prediction considering the FBS demographic is generally in phenomenal physical condition.

Government bureaucracies fudge numbers all the time for political or funding reasons. Crime rates, demographics, poverty rates, etc. The covid numbers here are inflated so they can bill Medicare.

Why would an infection rate affect medicare reimbursement?

Interesting how other forms of death have declined massively. Guy in my town head on collision and the family is having to fight the covid death certificate.

People need to understand that there is going to be an 100% infection rate at some point

Every person will catch this at some point or another

Youre fooling yourself if you think otherwise

So all those people in other parts of the world that that got sick or died are in on the US Covid election hoax


My friend, I am not saying Covid-19 is a hoax; I am merely saying that there is a celebrated double-standard regarding the response to such outbreaks.
Case in point: roughly 1800 children died from Swine Flu in 2009 during the Obama administration and there were no school closings. Meanwhile, to date 29 school age children have died attributed to Covid-19 and all schools have been closed.

So 3,900 to 6,500 infections resulting in 3-7 deaths?

Did he just multiple 3,900 by 0.001? Because that would be hilarious. I read further. He did.

Also, he hilariously didn’t distinguish between asymptomatic and symptomatic. And for the sake of his mortality calculations, he assumed all of those infections would by symptomatic.

If he used the 30% asymptomatic, the deaths go to 2-4. If it’s 60% asymptomatic, the estimated deaths go to 1-2.

And then no one has explained the difference in mortality rates for that population playing football versus the mortality rates for that population not playing football.

Well if we quit testing like Trump said, the virus will just go away, look no more covid. I dont know people, use your head.What the medical people are trying to do is keep people out of the hospital so they dont get over ran by this thing, and yes even young kids are going in and some of them arent doing well with it, granted most will be fine.Italy got over ran and look what happen there.That's what we're trying to avoid and may I say the USA is not doing a very good job at it. The problem with this virus is there is such a lag time between when you get it, when you feel it and when it finally takes you down. Remember we're all not 20 years old and in perfect shape.

Once you decide that unleaded water is too expensive to drink then it’s not difficult to rationalize being typhoid mary

Watching the video at the stl arch..on construction of the arch. Really good video btw ( in the complex below the arch)...but one fact about the build stood out. Before construction there was an estimate of 11 deaths to occur
When i heard that, i thought..no way that would get built today with that death toll.


Btw...no one died in the construction

Sure...we should beleve the doctors...but ...which ones? Masks good today...ineffective yesterday...only for the sick..etc. Fauci is the expert " listen to him"...but this epidemiologist says otherwise.

Frankly...there isnt the hospitalization rate or body count to justify this reaction

One thing i do know...when people don't know...but they feel like they should...they overreact usually to the safe side. Some pull the Elis move ( from die hard..where he thinks the terrorists can be handled like a business deal) but most...go overly safe

It isn't a hoax but it is used for political reasons. Obama waited six months before declaring a national emergency. I don't even remember H1N1 in 09 and 10. It wasn't even talked a bout much in the media. I guess it wasn't a big deal?

Fast forward early 2020. All the toilet paper is gone and people are screaming at other people to put a mask on. All this during an election year. This isn't a coincidence.

I don’t believe in the election year nonsense though. Does every country have an election in November. They are all doing the same thing
