It seems that the Wuhan virus's risks have been grossly exaggerated

Without the Wuhan virus, the Democrats have no meaningful opposition to Trump.  Not only have the Democrats weaponized the Wuhan virus to destroy the economies under their aegis, but they've also repeatedly claimed that Trump killed 161,000 Americans.  However, new CDC data show that, of those Americans who died in the past seven months, only 6% died from the virus alone.  The other 94% had serious comorbidities that (sadly) put them at a higher risk of death from anything that came along — and certainly from having sick people funneled into their nursing homes.

Bronson Stocking has broken down the CDC's data:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website disclosed the shockingly small number of people who died from only the Wuhan coronavirus, with no other cause of death mentioned. Hold on to your hat because here it is: out of the 161,392 deaths in the CDC data, just six percent, about 9,700 deaths, were attributed to the coronavirus alone. According to the CDC, the other 94 percent had an average of 2.6 additional conditions or causes of deaths, such as heart disease, diabetes, and sepsis. 

[snip]

Instead of protecting the vulnerable — the elderly in nursing homes and those with comorbidities — health "experts" recommended locking everyone up and prescribing for Americans a wide range of ailments such as depression, suicide, missed early cancer screenings, unemployment, substance abuse, and poverty.

 

BKnight makes the important point, as well, that the above analysis doesn't even take into account the way that medical reporters threw into the Wuhan virus column deaths that had nothing to do with the virus:

Besides, we've always known that the numbers have been skewed upwards by the perverse incentive of paying health care providers extra for Wuhan virus diagnoses:

My radar went up on this whole thing back in late march where I was reading the word, “terrifying” way too often.

This a complete missinterpretation of what the CDC said.

185,000 Americans have died of COVID. MOST of them also have a cormobidity like obesity, HTN, heart disease etc.
THEY STILL DIED OF COVID.

I know of only one person who got the chicom virus. He is a co-worker whom I had minimal social contact.

He is very obese, probably 350 lbs. He has been in the hospital for a month now, and was on a ventilator and now on breathing rehab.

Per CDC, in regards to COVID deaths, here is what is on the death certificates.

6% having only COVID listed.
94% have an AVERAGE of 2.6 co-morbidities, in addition to COVID listed.

That is not a misrepresentation, those are the facts.

This is exactly the point and cuts to the chase of this entire matter

just simply ask yourself this question

Do you personally know anyone who has had the Chinese virus?

Every single person I’ve asked this question has said no( Except the wife is a medical social worker in the city of San Francisco)

FACTS are a terrible thing when you have your mind made up!!

As I told two of my (sane) female friends today about my analysis (using CDC data), our (1) children would die by a lightening strike long before CRAZY-19 and (2) being (almost 67) I would wank up tomorrow with a naked super model next to me in bed before I died of CRAZY-19.

After the laughter I think they got the point.

I wonder how many people - in the same time frame, died from:

Falling,
hit by a car,
power tool accidents,
being hit by lightning,
Drug overdose,
etc...

Very few people are using their brains on this farce.

If I have garden variety seasonal flu and DIE and I am also grossly overweight with heart disease, diabetes,and emphysema from heavy smoking, should my death be recapped as a flu fatality??

There is a difference between “They died of COVID.” and “They had COVID when they died.” Did you see above that 4,000+ “COVID” deaths were suicides????? That’s not a “COVID” death.

In a sane world with a functional media, this would be headline news on the scale of D-Day or the JFK assassination.

Instead, to find this data and its significance you have to be actively looking for it.
