Per CDC Data the COVID-19 Death Rate Peaked in the US in April 2020 – There are More Pneumonia Deaths Than COVID-19 Deaths in 2020

We all agree that the data is a mess but based on what the CDC is reporting, COVID-19 peaked in April this year and has been going down ever since.

The CDC reported data as of the middle of August related to COVID-19 and pneumonia deaths year to date. The most recent data shows as follows:

What we clearly see from the current data is that both COVID and pneumonia peaked in April. The increase of reported deaths in July was minor and certainly not a material event. Also, what is apparent from the data is that there are more pneumonia deaths to date this year (159,990) than COVID deaths (153,727). This is apparent in the chart as COVID deaths were not reported until March while pneumonia deaths started earlier in the year.

• Eighty-five percent of reporting jurisdictions report a steep decline in Wuhan virus cases, despite almost 70 million tests. This number of tests is greater than those administered in all of Europe combined.
• Nationwide, cases declined by 6%.
• Test positivity is 6.5%, which is a 71% reduction from April and a 15% reduction from mid-July.
• Hospitalizations have been halved since April.
• Nursing home and long-term care facilities have 1% of the U.S. population but account for almost 50% of fatalities.
• Retail spending is at an all-time high, with auto production alone surging 28%.
• The stock market is peaking again, and the NASDAQ is at an all-time high.
• China is struggling and has been buying massive amounts of corn, soybeans, and cattle from America.
• The administration continues to cut regulations.
• Small business optimism is higher than at any month in the Obama administration.
• Industrial production is increasing at the fastest rate ever recorded.

You really can’t believe almost anything reported in the MSM these days. They want Americans to believe that COVID-19 is getting worse all the time.

It is not.

The only economies which are not growing now in the greatest recovery ever are those in inner Democrat led cities and states. The rest of the US is in an economic rebound never seen before in history.

RE: There are More Pneumonia Deaths Than COVID-19 Deaths in 2020

* The graph Joe Hoft shows that it is only true recently.

* He does not mention how many pneumonia deaths came as a result of Covid-19.

[Diogenesis]

the Center for Democratic Control
will alter whatever “data” they
want to IMPOSE their active, living, DNA-adhering
“vaccines (quantum dot)”.

i will trust the CDC as much as the FIB.
both lying scum, whose ONLY goals have
been murdering Americans and sedition.

Simple solution to the pandemic,,,,Make HCQ and Azithromycin OTC drugs so anyone who develops a cough and/or fever can go the nearest drug store and self medicate with the drugs along with Zinc Sulfate with correct dosage within 48 hours of symptoms and pandemic over.,,,,,instead of waiting a few days to get tested and 5 days for the results,,,,if over 60 years of age,,,,you’re dead.

I would suggest that the prevalence of pneumonia deaths is directly tied to the mask mandate. I had a friend who recently died of bacterial pneumonia and tested negative for Covid. Those masks are a feeding ground for bacteria and you just keep inhaling the bacteria over and over again until it settles in your lungs and kills you.

[sasportas]

Truth be told, a great many of their deaths counted due to Covid, were deaths due to pneumonia.

[dangus]

It is very true that Covid-19 peaked long, long ago. OTOH, there are more pneumonia deaths than coronavirus deaths because many (most?) coronavirus deaths occur due to pneumonia. Pneumonia is a result of an infection of the lungs. Coronaviruses are often that infection.

[dangus]

Pneumonia is a symptom, not a disease-causing pathogen. It’s the leading cause of death when people have the pathogen known as coronavirus.

There is no money in pneumonia.

[HamiltonJay]

I said it long ago it’s been obvious since April the covid lockdowns etc are nonsense. No risk of overloading the system and all the lockdown mask etc are simply time shift devices at best. If there is no risk of overwhelming the system they serve no purpose other than control

[epluribus_2]

or how many actual pneumonia deaths were coded Covid-19 for the financial incentive without testing.

RE: Truth be told, a great many of their deaths counted due to Covid, were deaths due to pneumonia.

But they need not be mutually exclusive right? In many cases, Covid-19 CAUSES one to contract pneumonia.

[2aProtectsTheRest]

In this case, are we talking about pneumonia as the immediate cause of death or the underlying cause of death? Because if COVID-19 led to pneumonia (which is quite common since COVID-19 basically sandblasts the protective lining of the lungs and leaves the underlying tissue exposed to opportunistic infections) and the person died, the UCOD is COVID-19 and the ICOD is pneumonia.

AKA falsifying government documents, risking prison time and loss of their entire career and medical license? I’m guessing not a lot of people are willing to do that, no matter what their boss tells them.

[2aProtectsTheRest]

If that were true, doctors and nurses would have been dying en masse for decades.

Since they haven’t been, I’m going to assume this is absurd nonsense with zero evidence to support it whatsoever. I’m truly sorry for the loss of your friend. Really, I am. But people die and it doesn’t have to tie into some massive conspiracy.

[DEPcom]

I guess there was more Pneumonia Deaths from Jan 1st to where every that chart ends.

" This is apparent in the chart as COVID deaths were not reported until March while pneumonia deaths started earlier in the year."

Misleading Headlines: There are More Pneumonia Deaths Than COVID-19 Deaths in 2020

Is it fair to say going by chart above there was more Covid deaths then Pneumonia if the chart started with March 10 to too the end of the Chart.

"You really can’t believe almost anything reported in the MSM these days."

From the most recent CDC data:

The Case Mortality Rate is about half of what it was three months ago. The daily death toll is about half of what it was three months ago.

If the news media were honest, they would be reporting these numbers as well.

[dynoman]

That is a dumb argument. Doctors don’t go to work and wear masks when they are sick. In contrast people are now being told to wear masks when they are sick.

There’s a reason cases surges along with mask mandates. Covid mask wearing hygiene is horrible.

[dynoman]

Yeah, deaths yesterday matched April 1. And cases are way down, the case surge is over.
