However, this post is in response to the question, If COVID-19 restrictions work, then why are deaths from other sources higher? One answer would be that COVID-19 itself rarely, if at all ("For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned "), is what slays a person, but that of per-existing conditions (comorbidities).
As valid as this explanation is yet their is another factor involved, which are the effects of the restrictions themselves and which contribute to and go beyond some of the physical conditions, and which are reported in a study posted here .
Pinellas County Florida: 70% of deaths in long-term facilities.
The USA is about to reach the unenviable death count of 200,000 !!
“For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned “
You do understand that most contagious diseases act this way, right? They soften you up and what ever else you had wrong with you pounces. There are, for example, about 1350 “FLU was the only cause mentioned” deaths out of 30 million SYMPTOMATIC cases in your average flu season. So that would be some 60 million or so cases including asymptomatic cases for the flu versus 7 million symptomatic and asymptomatic cases of CCP-19, and 12,000 “just CCP-19” deaths.
Let’s see, 1350/60,000,000 versus 12,000/7,000,000. Hmm. It appears that “just CCP-19” is about 75 times as deadly as “just flu”.
Stop pushing this distortion of the statistics for your solipsist, narcissistic, insouciant agenda. If you really want to have, need to have, a special cause to rail about, go protest at Pelosi’s or Schumer’s house about their interference in the President’s right to nominate judges. That’s a much better and far more honest cause.
But, but HEY, wait a minute-—
Didn’t Biden say that 3/4 of the population of the United States has died from the virus???? 200,000,000???
