I’ll say again for every 100 people who are unlucky to get Covid 19 we see 1.6 persons die.(mostly older with morbidities). Working in an ICU as I do of course we’ll see the sick ones die more than the average person will in their everyday life). The mortality numbers are pretty set. I hate the way the media makes it sound like millions are suddenly dying. They are not. Yet the ones I see die are mostly unvaxxed as well. We know this from their medical histories that we take.. Localities vary! Co-morbidities can make things worse.

The other numbers about population spreads, treatments, strains ect belong in the “toss up” political salad that everyone is involved with these days.

As demonstrated clearly in my last post the number 1.6% comes directly from World-o-meter. It is based on garbage numbers. If the numbers from the ICU that you work in seem similar that is almost certainly confirmation bias on your part. There is no way that your hospital is able to keep track of the number of cases in your community and divide that by the number of deaths in your ICU and come up with a meaningful number.

My mother and my wife are both retired nurses and I spent 25 years transporting ALS patients to emergency rooms. None of us could come up with a percentage of people we assisted who died from any specific ailment and you obviously cannot either. It is silly to think that you could... you can give us your impression which I find interesting, and I am glad that you are participating here. And I thank you for your service, but you are letting your personal biases get in the way when you cite nonsensical numbers.

Clearly, we both have firsthand experiences with Covid and the vaccinations and both of us have personal biases which help form our impressions. I will tell you that every place that my wife worked and was a department head I spent a great deal of time volunteering. I spent a lot of hours driving people to get their flu shots and other vaccinations because they clearly saved lives. Some of the larger places she worked at would lose two dozen people in a month during a bad flu season. Somehow this never became front page news. I am still not sure that Covid here was ever worse than a bad flu season and that any “excess deaths” are mostly caused by intentionally corrupted data collection system protocols. We get glimpses of reality when foreign sources of information somehow make it past the unprecedented media, big tech and political blockade of any info that contradicts the official narrative. Before this all started, I would never have believed such a thing was possible.
