So, how many people do YOU think have died of COVID-19, both in the USA and globally?

I don’t know. No one knows. Deborah Birx has stated that the numbers are inflated by at least 25%. Other analyses of the data suggest that it has been inflated considerably more than that.

Regardless, even IF the number of deaths is correct, it doesn’t mean that COVID is more deadly, contagious, or different from any other illness. It is an established fact that the vast majority of people who have died of COVID (or often, simply WITH COVID), are on average 80 years old, and in something like 85% of cases, had one or more underlying conditions.

The media and the left are breathlessly reporting every COVID death, which causes everyone to think this is some biblical plague. It isn’t. They could apparently convince a large percentage of the population that no one should ever get into a car, if they hyped the deaths from car accidents the way they do COVID. The difference is that car accidents kill people of ALL ages, whereas COVID almost exclusively kills unhealthy people who, in most cases, are already beyond average life expectancy.

Get a grip. You are being manipulated, and you are seeing our society, economy, and lives being destroyed by people with an agenda who do not care one bit about you.

”15 days to the flatten the curve” in March has become mask mandates and idiotic “social distancing” mandates, indefinitely. It is absolute madness. There is no “science” behind it, only fear and propaganda.

And let me add, the whole point of the lockdowns, the masks, and the “social distancing” (I can’t begin to tell you how much I loathe that phrase), was to prevent our hospitals and medical system from being “overwhelmed”. That “overwhelming” never happened, our hospitals and medical system are in no danger of being overwhelmed now, and yet, the nonsensical dictates not only persist, they get more restrictive and ridiculous every day.
