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:

That’s not a “COVID” death.
= = = = = = = = =
It is if someone gets their palms greased by handling a ‘beerflu’ victim.

I haven’t heard a real ‘outcry’ from the ‘experts’ etc for the IMPROPER disposal of contaminated masks.

Where are the guidelines?
Where are the ‘special’ dump zones
Can they be sent to the ‘regular’ land fills?
Can they be burned so the atmosphere can take back all the ‘germs’ they attracted?

Someone could start a cottage industry ala hospital disposal of contaminated products, the asbestos scare etc.

Lets feed the panic with more panic.

Wonderful how the plastic and paper bags are fine all of a sudden, but those fancy ‘permanent bags’ they pushed upon us are now verboten?

Should be a demand for a complete refund for ‘them’ duping us like that.

Gotta play ‘their game’ and make everything so ludicrous that ‘they’ won’t even believe it

Oh, it's COUNTED as a COVID death, because the hospital is getting a nice chunk of change for handling a COVID patient. What I meant was, the person didn't die from COVID.

And I agree on the mask disposal issue. I've been saying for months, "Where are all the 'hazardous medical waste' collection bins?"

Remember the ‘charge’ against Cuomo was that beerfluers had to go on a ventilator and (supposedly) the only ‘handily available’ ones were in nursing homes.

And if everything is in such a panic that you inhale so much ammonia etc that everytime you take a ‘whizz’ you are cleaning the toilet, so what hospital or funeral home etc isn’t going to want to get ‘compensated’ AS LONG AS THE FREE MONEY IS THERE?

Also remember they ‘shut everything down’ in the hospitals because the beerflu was so bad and they didn’t want to contaminate others, so the hospitals LOST money because there weren’t enough GENUINE beerflu patients to go around.

In a ‘true’ world, PDJT would get genius points for putting the Hospital Ships in ‘high hazard zones’ and they basically went untouched.
Guess they would be railing on him for the expense etc BUT then they would be stepping on their own toes.

Usually being ‘proven wrong’ doesn’t bother them, this must be a sore spot.

again

FOLLOW THE MONEY

I knew that’s what they were doing with the numbers. They were counting any death in which the subject had Coronavirus in his nose as a CV19 death. The purpose was to get the numbers high so they could blame them on Trump, which they did.

Same with the definition of “case.” In the English language, and in the minds of normal people, a case is a person sick with and being treated for the disease. But they deliberately and intentionally use “case” to mean anyone who had CV virus in his nose.

Totally intentional, and done with clear knowledge. I don’t trust anything that is splashed in front of the public’s face 24/7 with obsessive coverage. I am not easily fooled. I was not fooled.

Re: “This is a complete misinterpretation of what the CDC said.”

Do you want the CDC to start counting influenza and common cold deaths exactly the same way the CDC counts COVID deaths?

If you do, we will have 185,000 flu and common cold deaths EVERY year!
