It’s just the flu, bro.
Excess deaths is the total number of dead over a time period minus the normal expected number of dead for that time of year based on historical data. There are some Fearpers who post data showing that there are excess deaths in NYC and in Italy. There have been excess deaths due to CV - but these excess deaths still don’t make it rise beyond a flu season. Note that the CV deaths stats from CDC are not relevant to this - what is relevant is how many people are dying of all causes compared to how many normally die.

The CDC data is on a lag and the disclaimers say it is possible for some deaths to be 8 weeks late to make it to the data. Watching these numbers for almost 8 weeks it seems that changes to the data beyond 3 weeks appear to be immaterial. The normal number of deaths, according to the CDC, is approximately 57k per week in the USA over the time period. The maximum number of USA deaths according to worldometer occurred the week before April 11 (so we are on the downswing) - that week had 13k excess deaths. These are the numbers to watch over the coming weeks but there is still nothing to indicate that the number of excess deaths will go beyond influenza levels.
In other news...why did Governor Abbott feign outrage when a Democrat judge made a ruling that put a hairdresser in jail for refusing to close because she wanted to feed her kids? Democrats will usually rule/judge in a way that we don’t like so why pass the stupid lockdown rule to begin with? The lockdown rule was always going to be interpreted by Dems in a way that is tyrannical. Abbott should be held responsible for his stupid executive order.

Ping. Freepmail Impimp to go on the ping list.
In case impimp didn’t add you to the list yet.
Kojack will be here is present his manipulated data
30,000 cases!
2100 deaths!!
Head up your asses everyone
Of course what he won’t tell you is the seven day average is down for both metrics
He won’t tell you the destruction for s Virus that is largely inconsequential
He won’t tell you the days is completely manipulated.
It’s like arguing with a two year old. Sometimes you get tired of the nonsense
Indeed it is. The Austin mayor is making it more clear by the day that he and his sidekick (Travis County judge) are going to keep up their fun of oppressing their citizens.
For example, the mayor tweeted this last night "Healthy Streets: in the wake of this pandemic, we’ll soon have safe, socially distanced outdoor exercise & alternative transportation methods in neighborhoods to ensure Austinites can enjoy essential outdoor activity "
Get that? We'll soon have safe....so that Austinites can enjoy ESSENTIAL outdoor activity. Who decides what's essential? The mayor incessantly repeats "let's get used to the new normal". This is beyond ridiculous and I expect lawsuits are going to be the remedy to shut their grand plans down, ultimately.
Kojack is fun, but I kinda miss Piss Boy.
We went to our favorite, and newly opened, restaurant last night. No frickin’ masks (except on the waiters). All patrons were laughing about the Fearbros who apparently still are hiding behind their sofas.
Shamwow is making masks now; it’s sunk that low.
Rona is great at assists. It rarely tags people out on its own.
It’s just the flu is correct but because of the unwarranted lock-down and the enormous impact to the economy the numbers will be fudged to back up the lock-down regardless.
It’ll be years before the truth comes out and by then the sheeple will have complied to their loss of rights.
Which one is you, fearbro?
I gotta be honest. I am tired and weary of all this. Living under tyranny and people like piss boy and kojack who want to live in a bubble and demand we all join them have worn me out.
I had my first day off yesterday in 58 days. We have literally no one in the hospital. We have almost no CoVId cases.
From where I sit it’s over. Not flattened. Over. But still having to live like this with and under people I neither elected nor people who enjoy living really sucks. Fauci shooting his mouth off that maybe the synagogues will be open in September for the high holy days (read it in a different thread) ... I suppose this means he is fishing back his it’s going to be years line. But really? People are far to comfortable being wards id the state.
That’s spinning to turn a bug into a feature!
Haven’t seen as much of Hockey Stick McGee, either.....
He’s a total p*ssy. Won’t defend his position. Quotes worldodometer which is becoming a joke. Pathetic
“I am tired and weary of all this.”
Me, too. But more than that, I am ANGRY that this hoax/hype has “fundamentally transformed” our wonderful free America. So angry! And so glad I’m old enough to know I won’t be around to realize the worst of it in the future.
I could not agree more!
I hope the lawsuits fly. I am afraid it’s going to erupt into rioting and physical violence. Tensions are running high and the pot is about to boil over. All it will take is an inexperienced cop to be in a bad position during a protest or trying to arrest someone without a mask on shooting someone, a fearbro seriously injuring someone in a confrontation over a mask, or some. it was on our side going postal on a fearbro and the powder keg will be lit.....
