So I remain convinced that the actual death rate is much higher than we are currently allowing or wishing it to be.

You should read the following by James D. Agresti from the Heartland Institute. It probably will not but might change your perspective.

Last Spring it was indicated by several studies based on antibody tests that the actual number of people who had already been infected and currently were was most likely at least ten times the current number that had tested positive. This was poo-pooed by the press and authorities because the death rate would then have been less than the flu. This year when tests are not just available to everyone but authorities are forcing well people to be tested when they want to travel and for numerous other reasons the increasing number of positives is not just accepted... it is cited as evidence of a “2nd wave”.

It is obvious to those of us who spent our careers transporting and caring for people with respiratory ailments that the reason that the current perception of the public is mostly based on hype that was meant to get rid of President Trump. If flu deaths start being tabulated the way Covid deaths are... we will all be wearing masks and putting up with nonsense for the rest of our lives.

You and many others here are a victim of media hype that has been foisted on you for political purposes. It is obvious to me because I spent my career assisting sick people and so did my wife who was a career nurse and department head in multilevel care facilities. This is the most outrageous nonsense that we have ever witnessed.
