According to the legacy media, there have been more than 250,000 deaths from COVID-19 since the so-called pandemic began. That means to the average American that there are 250,000 plus Americans who are dead today who would otherwise still be with us. Those people were killed by the virus.
That seems a matter of common sense. Is it true?
Genevieve Briand, assistant program director of the Applied Economics master’s degree program at Johns Hopkins University, recently critically analyzed the effect of COVID-19 on U.S. deaths using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in her webinar titled “COVID-19 Deaths: A Look at U.S. Data.” Her conclusion? COVID-19 is having no significant impact on deaths in the United States.
Briand explained that the significance of COVID-19 on U.S. deaths can be fully understood only through comparison to the number of total deaths in the United States. Briand conducted a detailed review of the available data, relying upon the exact same numbers CDC uses in its calculations. Specifically, she delved deeply into the causes of death listed. What she found, not surprisingly, was that there was a sudden spike in 2020 for deaths linked to COVID-19. That makes sense, since COVID-19 only emerged as a major threat this year.
What she found next, though, was more surprising. While deaths attributed to COVID-19 dramatically increased, deaths attributed to all other causes suddenly plummeted...

In my county in California COVID has killed less than 0.000257 % of the population.
I still haven’t figured out what is the difference between COVID and the flu at this point
The spreadsheets and graphs are posted daily to perpetuate hysteria and panic among the unwashed sheep yearning for their daily dose of misery.
A while back, I read a statistic credited to the CDC that said ~6% of rona deaths were _by_ the rona and not just _with_ the rona.
Also, at the beginning anyway, rona deaths were more equal than others because (months ago) a hospital could be awarded $5K for a certified rona patient and $20K for a certified (with) rona death.
260,000 dead Americans and counting.
Cooking the books. I don’t trust a damn thing government says...especially statistics.
Since Covid came on the scene I still know no one that has had it and none of my friends, relatives or acquaintances know of any one that has had it much less than die from it.
“I still haven’t figured out what is the difference between COVID and the flu at this point..”
It has a fancier more fearsome name than the flu.
260,000 dead from a population of more than 300,000,000 is less than 0.00087 %. I am not seeing a lot of empty chairs around the table.
shouldnt’ the question be how many RECOVERED instead of DIED?
I just had an 80 something high school classmate die of it but he also had Alzheimers and in a nursing home.

Zero, because this entire "pandemic" is 100% bullshit. They died of cancer, heart failure, diabetes, the flu... Pretty much the same things people have been dying from, at the same rate they've been dying from them, forever.
260,000 / 300,000,000 = .0866 %
or
1 out of 1153 people.
Our neighbors, a family of three, has had it and recovered.
A family of four, friends from church, had 2 members get it and recover. The rest are fine.
My mother had it and recovered - and she is retired with diabetes.
Thus I know multiple people who’ve had it and NO ONE who was severely ill, much less died.
250000. Right. EVERYTHING today is political and this Covid stupidity especially. Given the way ot got out via modern airports, if covid were at all deadly it would have ripped thru the world and announced its presence with bodies in the streets. THAT is what usually drives people to take precautions. THAT did not happen however so the bullshit ting and fear mongering started. With Covid fear and the death count were ginned up.
you WILL NEVER see that figure-!
BTW both my daughters and their husbands got it-
THE CHINA WUHAN VIRUS- said it was like a bad cold-
sense of taste was gone for 2 days- they are in their early 30’s they are just fine now—
In Minnneeeesota if you are in a nursing home-.. they just let you die!! about 70% of this states deaths are from NURSING homes!- they have counted 3200 + deaths- more than 2100 from nursing homes-
