“My (updated) best guess is that each day of protests involving 600k people will result in between 200 and 1100 eventual deaths. 9/12”
That is from Trevor Bedford, still not counting the “demonstration effect” and impact on other countries, as far as I can tell.
For the pointer I thank RH.

Deaths from what? Economic destruction? Covid? Bullets to the head? It’s fun to prognosticate when there is no ability to confirm the prognostication based on data. At best this is as flimsy as the number is covid deaths being reported.
In other words I call bulllsh*t

We can thank the rioters for putting the lie to the need for continued "Covid-19 lockdowns" and continuing nonsense from doomsayers. After 2 weeks of this rioting nonsense nothing scary is happening with Covid-19. Earlier in the “pandemic” even people in hotspots with known exposures and symptoms were not able to be tested if they were not in a group that put them “at risk” of dying or becoming seriously ill. Now anyone who feels like it can get tested for free. But even lopsided statistics from that factor are not supporting continued "lockdowns".

Could it be, maybe, just more made-up numbers pulled out from where the Sun don’t shine by yet another “expert”?
To: karpov
Not such a bad thing, if the right ones die.

200 to 1100 deaths, nation wide? That’s not very much, actually.

I know it’s per day, but I was expecting much higher numbers. Like 5K per day. I mean, remember how incredibly contagious they told us it was?

I am starting to think that that Covid is not a biological weapon, but instead a psychological one.
Trump was on a roll and the Chinese and democrats were on the ropes.
something to think about.
