US is 'rounding the corner into a calamity,' expert says, with Covid-19 deaths projected to double soon
CNN ^ | November 28, 2020 | Christina Maxouris

As Thanksgiving week draws to an end, more experts are warning the Covid-19 pandemic will likely get much worse in the coming weeks before a possible vaccine begins to offer some relief.

More than 205,000 new cases were reported Friday -- which likely consists of both Thursday and Friday reports in some cases, as at least 20 states did not report Covid-19 numbers on Thanksgiving. As of Saturday evening, more than 138,000 new cases and 1,100 deaths had been reported, according to Johns Hopkins University.

The US has now reported more than 100,000 infections every day for 26 consecutive days. The daily average in the week to Friday was more than 166,000 -- almost 2.5 times higher than the summer's peak counts in July.

The number of Covid-19 patients in US hospitals reached record levels on Saturday evening, with 91,635 Americans hospitalized with Covid19, according to the COVID Tracking Project.

And daily Covid-19 deaths in the US have been increasing. The daily average across seven days was 1,477 on Friday. But more than 2,100 deaths were reported on each of the two days before Thanksgiving, the first time that level was crossed on consecutive days since late April.

And while there is more good news on the vaccine front, for now Americans need to "hunker down" and prepare for a difficult winter ahead, according to Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency medicine physician and a visiting professor at George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health.

"We cannot let our guard down," she told CNN Friday night. "The vaccines will make a big difference in the spring and the summer; they're not going to make a difference right now."

Can’t speak to that particular location, but I do know Batesville Casket here in Indiana has had a very good sales year.

“Batesville experienced higher demand for burial caskets in certain geographical areas starting in late March, and that higher demand continued throughout the second half of 2020. That higher demand resulted in a strong year-over-year sales increase at Batesville for 2020, partially offset by an estimated increased rate at which families opted for cremation.”

The good news is that heart disease, cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, stroke, Alzheimers, and age related deaths have been eradicated from our population. Considering that, I’d say we’re way ahead with the trade-off.

This is how they’ve (deep state, media) gotten the sheep to comply with their insane edicts: DEATH. This virus has been politicized and weaponized psychologically to brainwash the masses that IF they contract this virus, they WILL die. I have found that no matter what evidence disputing this insanity, people ignore it and insist on curling up and hiding or masking up. This is what propaganda does.

Good question worth re-peating.......

“If all these people are dying, why are the mortuaries empty?”

Sorry, but video appeared several weeks after a "big storm" - and shortly after the "hospital" had been completed - showing that the "hospital" had been ruined. There were exterior and interior shots.

Why would you even think of posting NPR quotes from a Chinese CFR member as somehow authoritative or factual. That's like a triple slam of dubious propaganda and fiction.

‘Go on Facebook and read any COVID thread.’

it’s too depressing; maddening, really, the little dears are so maniacal...and then, inevitably, they start in on wanting to open the schools; ‘the children, the children’ they shriek...

“US is ‘rounding the corner into a calamity,’ expert says, with Covid-19 deaths projected to double soon”

And no matter what the cause of death, it will be listed as Covid-19...until Biden is sworn in.

Wrong. The US is reporting 100,000 positive test results per day. Doesn’t mean all those people are actually sick.

"One Twitterer suggested that it’s possible the first people who get the vaccine will get a placebo. Just think on that for a moment."

I've been thinking for a few weeks that there will be a lot of placebos given; And compared to the Gates - Fauci Gene Modifying 'vaccines' (trackers), I'm going to say the ones who get placebos will be the lucky ones.

I truly think that it was CNN and the propaganda that pushed a lot of undecideds to vote for Donald Trump. We all know that President Trump won in a landslide!!!...

I doubt CNN will stand on it's feet much longer unless George Soros keeps bailing them out....

"A closer look at US deaths due to COVID-19", The Johns Hopkins News-Letter, by Yanni Gu, November 27, 2020"

"Briand also noted that 50,000 to 70,000 deaths are seen both before and after COVID-19, indicating that this number of deaths was normal long before COVID-19 emerged. Therefore, according to Briand, not only has COVID-19 had no effect on the percentage of deaths of older people, but it has also not increased the total number of deaths.

These data analyses suggest that in contrast to most people's assumptions, the number of deaths from COVID-19 is not alarming. In fact, it has relatively no effect on deaths in the United States. This comes as a shock to many people. How is it that the data lie so far from our perception?"

Based on what I’ve observed in the last year, there will be 400 million reported cases of Covid. Despite the fact that the US population is between 330 million and 350 million (can’t forget the illegals), 400 million is not unreasonable since we count votes multiple times, so why not Covid cases?

Some months ago there was a CDC graph - and I verified that it was actually on the CDC web site - which overlaid the last 10 years of pneumonia deaths, versus 2020 COVID-19 deaths.

Amazingly, 2020 pneumonia deaths plummeted from the normal 10-year count, just as "COVID-19 fatalities" were allegedly increasing.

It was quite evident that there is some magical number substitution happening. The normal annual count of pneumonia fatalities had magically become COVID-19 fatalities.

How does that work?

Johns Hopkins just came out and said that the number of deaths for this year are not much different than 2018.....of course that report was quickly put down the media hole...
