Do the bold letters make it more true? Start that with “once upon a time”.

[EEGator]

You do understand how sick this is, correct?
You know those numbers aren’t accurate, correct?

You’re gloating about dead people.

[Turbo Pig]

Could you do the FR readers a favor and break out the number of deaths caused by Dem governors sending CCP Virus patients in to nursing homes, please? Also, showing just raw numbers isn’t as impact as comparing them to the less deadly causes of death in the US in 2021. Could you show a comparison of the CCP Virus deaths next to say the actual number of flu deaths, please?

Thank you for your service in highlighting the plague that has afflicted us all these months.

[USS Alaska]

You do know that the world meter charts are pure, left wing bullshit, right?

Why not publish the world meter daily number of barrels of oil left, or the amount of natural gas left in the earth?

You supposedly have a degree, which means you should have some comprehension of the difference between facts and left wing opinions.

I guess if it fits your narrative, it becomes a fact.

[McGruff]

I for one am still skeptical that this isn’t some form of the Flu. Isn’t it odd that there is no Flu this winter.

[lodi90]

Awesome. Always nice to see the good news with my coffee in the morning. Cheers.

[Skywise]

So...

How many FEWER dead would there have been if HCQ hadn’t been, not only contraindicated, but politically BANNED in the US. To the point that long practicing doctors had their practices and licenses ripped away for actually practicing medicine and prescribing it for COVID?

And now the AMA (now that Trump is out) APPROVES IT!

Does that factor into your death calculus?

It’s just 2 weeks to flatten the curve, bro.

[newfreep]

What are the numbers for:

1. Death FROM ChinaFlu?
2. Death from other primary factors but WITH ChinaFlu?

Without the above, your statistics are absolutely meaningless and typical leftwing communist propaganda.

PS: The CDC announced ONLY 145 flu-related deaths this season.

“ONLY” 145?

[Maskot]

*yawn*. Your numbers are spreading false information again.

“Just two weeks to flatten the curve” has turned into a year plus. Ever wonder why? Social engineering dude. Your head is so far up your butt you cannot see daylight.

And what happened to flu season? 🤔

[JonPreston]

C19 is a biological attack from communist 🇨🇳 China. To ignore it is to invite another one.

[Texas Eagle]

Meanwhile....

Amid COVID-19 pandemic, flu has disappeared in the US

The Covid-19 pandemic has catapulted one mysterious data website to prominence, sowing confusion in international rankings

"A person with Pasqualino’s name and birthday is also registered as a sole proprietor in Italy. That business manages and sells “advertising space,” according to an Italian registration document filed last year. Its address leads to a tidy, three-story apartment building on a leafy street in an upscale neighborhood in Bologna."

"Worldometer has faced criticism over transparency of ownership, lack of citations to data sources, and unreliability of its COVID-19 statistics and rankings."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldometer

Who Runs the Worldometer Website?

The answer to the question as to who operates the Worldometer website, the website that almost the entire corporate media (and some in the Alternative Media as well) is publishing as fact, seems to be shrouded in mystery.

The Worldometer website claims this about the site:

Worldometer is run by an international team of developers, researchers, and volunteers with the goal of making world statistics available in a thought-provoking and time relevant format to a wide audience around the world. It is published by a small and independent digital media company based in the United States. We have no political, governmental, or corporate affiliation.

That’s it. No names of the people operating the website, and they do not identify the “small and independent digital media company based in the United States” on their own website.

It takes some digging to find out the name of the company who owns the Worldometer website, and it is Dadax. They appear to have a single page website which says:

Dadax is a US-based and American owned small digital media company.

It was founded over 15 years ago.

We are the publishers of Worldometer.

That’s it.

When searching for more information about this company, it is difficult to find much else. There is a company of the same name in China, but they have publicly stated that they have no affiliation with the U.S. company by the same name.

There is a Dadax, LLC company listed in Delware that is listed as a “Foreign Limited Liability Company.”

According to this listing, it is managed by two persons, and the principle person is DARIO PASQUALINO. But there are several other “related companies” with the same name. (Source.)

Interestingly, the Worldometer’s website was attacked by cyber attacks in March, as someone apparently wanted the website to come down. (Source.)

Because the data on Worldometer is almost identical to the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) website at Johns Hopkins University, it is possible that the data source for both sites are the same.

Lauren Gardner, an epidemiologist and co-director of the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, is credited with developing the dashboard that is mirrored on the Worldometer website.

Guo Meiping, writing for the China Global Television Network (CGTN) in an article titled: “Why does U.S. COVID-19 data come from a university not the government?“, states:

The entire concept and visualization of the (Johns Hopkins University) dashboard were prepared by a civil and systems engineering professor, Lauren Gardner, and two Chinese students, Dong Ensheng and Du Hongru – both first-year Ph.D. students at the University’s Center for Systems Science and Engineering.

Dong told a local Chinese media outlet that on March 12, the dashboard got two billion hits from the entire world in a single day. They also co-authored a short piece explaining the dashboard, which was published on the world-leading medical journal The Lancet on February 19.

At this point, who owns Worldometer is still a mystery. It appears to mirror the dashboard at Johns Hopkins University, but it is not clear from which site the data originates.

[Oil Object Insp]

How many died from car accidents? Abortion? Suicide?

All those deaths are tragic.

There are many ways of dieing in this country.

None of the other causes have crippled our economy, and interrupted the lives of so many Americans.

Perspective, it’s an obtainable.

Make it your goal.

LYING LIES FROM LIARS.

If 500k people died, then why did the numbers of deaths from ALL CAUSES not show a concordant increase?

This is just propaganda. I think you know it, but you're so invested at this point, your pride won't let you admit that Impimp was right all along.

[daniel1212]

As of April 14, 2020, CDC case counts and death counts include both confirmed and probable cases and deaths. This change was made to reflect an interim COVID-19 position statement pdf iconexternal iconissued by the Council for State and Territorial Epidemiologists on April 5, 2020.

And which PDF states (added bold emphasis by me),

A probable case or death is defined by one of the following:

• Meeting clinical criteria AND epidemiologic evidence with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID-19
• Meeting presumptive laboratory evidence AND either clinical criteria OR epidemiologic evidence
• Meeting vital records criteria with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID19

Not all jurisdictions report confirmed and probable cases and deaths to CDC. When not available to CDC, it is noted as N/A.

What Clinical Criteria and epidemiologic evidence means, respectively, is explained in the probable case or deathlink:

CSTE realizes that field investigations will involve evaluations of persons with no symptoms and these individuals will need to be counted as cases.

Clinical Criteria

At least two of the following symptoms: fever (measured or subjective), chills, rigors, myalgia, headache, sore throat, new olfactory and taste disorder(s)

OR

At least one of the following symptoms: cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing

OR

Severe respiratory illness with at least one of the following:

• Clinical or radiographic evidence of pneumonia, OR
• Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

AND

No alternative more likely diagnosis

Epidemiologic Linkage

One or more of the following exposures in the 14 days before onset of symptoms:

• Close contact** with a confirmed or probable case of COVID-19 disease; OR
• Close contact** with a person with:
  • clinically compatible illness AND
  • linkage to a confirmed case of COVID-19 disease.
• Travel to or residence in an area with sustained, ongoing community transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
• Member of a risk cohort as defined by public health authorities during an outbreak.

**Close contact is defined as being within 6 feet for at least a period of 10 minutes to 30 minutes or more depending upon the exposure. In healthcare settings, this may be defined as exposures of greater than a few minutes or more. Data are insufficient to precisely define the duration of exposure that constitutes prolonged exposure and thus a close contact.

Which among other scenarios, means that a person that may be listed as a COVID-19 case if the person simply has a cough (for that alone qualifies as Clinical Criteria if there is no other more likely diagnosis) and has simply traveled to an area with sustained, ongoing community transmission of SARS-CoV-2, for that alone qualifies as Epidemiologic Linkage, and only one of each meets the qualification listing a death as COVID-19. <

And with money being involved, then liberal attribution of COVID-19 cases and deaths should be presumed in this fallen world, the reaction to it is unprecedented in America.

For as even USA Today affirmed,

Hospitals and doctors do get paid more for Medicare patients diagnosed with COVID-19 or if it's considered presumed they have COVID-19 absent a laboratory-confirmed test, and three times more if the patients are placed on a ventilator to cover the cost of care and loss of business resulting from a shift in focus to treat COVID-19 cases.
