yeah i remember the “reporting” at the time. you’d have thought it was a blood bath or the bubonic plague.

and as far as the real number you can probably divide their bogus (public health) number by 10 or 20 and get closer to the actual number who died from covid alone.

Well...I heard a California doc call Rush about a year ago...he explained how most of emergency (or hospital, can’t remember) beds/treatment rooms were filled with illegals and/or plain Ole Mexicans who live generally in crowded conditions.

A med biz consultant told me less than 7% of uninsured costs get paid.
So in reality, the costs are socialized despite all the media betwetting to the contrary.

No one died from cancer and heart attacks. They ALL died from the China flu.

Thank you. I figured I screwed that up and I did.

Point is though, when people say Covid is 99.5% survivable — this data proves it!

You have to multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

Exactly. Covid is 99.5% survivable — this data proves it!

Straight from the U.S. Congress.

Strange. Meat was one of the things our grocery never had a problem stocking even when people were hoarding like mad in spring of 2020.

The price never went up much either. Even now I don’t see much of a rise in meat prices.

All they needed was to be treated with HCQ and/or Ivermectin.

“Meatpacker Per Capita Death Rate” of 0.0044 roughly double the COVID-19 national average of 0.00230:


Top USA Flu Pandemics:

1. 1918 USA Influenza Pandemic:
USA Population: 103,208,000
675,000 Spanish flu fatalities (est.) = 0.00654 fatalities per capita

2. 2020 USA COVID-19 Pandemic as of 10-28-2021:
USA Population: 332,770,000
763,784 COVID-19 fatalities = 0.00230 fatalities per capita

3. 1957-1958 USA Influenza Pandemic:
USA Population: 171,984,130
116,000 flu fatalities (est.) = 0.000675 fatalities per capita

4. 1968-1969 USA Influenza Pandemic:
USA Population: 200,706,052
100,000 flu fatalities (est.) = 0.000498 fatalities per capita

1918 flu pandemic 2.8 times worse than COVID-19, but COVID-19 3.4 times worse than any other USA flu outbreak.

It's relatively high in meatpackers from this study, compared to the population in general (< 0.2%).

But of course, the assumption that the gov't data are accurate is also quite weak (given the co-morbidities, gunshot wounds and car crashes counted as COVID, etc.).

That is 00.4% of workers. How many other workers died in DUI accidents or of the FLU?

If covid is going around meat-packing plants, would the meat be contaminated?

Serious question.

Less than one half of one percent.
1 in 221 died, that had the Rona.
