It’s just the flu, bro.
There are currently almost 6 million active Coronavirus “cases” in the USA. People die everyday for a variety of reasons. If you have a 6 million population with any attribute whatsoever, you will see a large number of deaths every day. So the casedemic of asymptomatic people is actually a fantastic way to manufacture fake Coronavirus deaths.
Every hospital does everything it can to find a way to make as many patients as possible Coronavirus cases. This entitles them to additional federal funds. And the increase in common colds and other respiratory illnesses that you see in the late fall and winter provides an excellent pool of people that they can pretend have Coronavirus.

This sounds very dystopian but I think many people in politics and big pharma would love to see people isolated and not traveling for the long term as this reduces the populations exposure to all germs. This would then circumvent the ability for people to develop their God-given immune systems. We wouldn’t have any cross-immunity to partially protect us from any new viruses. Then we can become essentially infants again, totally dependent on big pharma and politicians to protect us from all germs.

For those who fear that the Coronavirus cases and deaths will be elevated all winter. Worldometer shows them dropping in several cases after a recent period of increase (UK). In other words, I think we are looking at a short term wave in the USA as opposed to a sustained winter wave. That being said, case numbers are very much subject to corruption if there are people who can profit.
Let's play pretend for the Great Reset.
I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, Prescot.
Congratulations on buying into the Chinese/Deep State/Democrat narrative. I'll file you under 'useful idiot'.
Its gullible sheep like YOU that are helping globalist Biden to weaken America and set us up for The Great Reset.
Good job.
“...it also helps to kill off conservatives because they’re the ones who are least likely to protect themselves against catching Covid-19. It’s a complete win-win for the left!”
You mean like the Trump rallies did? No spike after the one I went to.
The point is not to pretend there IS NO VIRUS, but to not give in to all the stupid government power-hungry tyrants shoving worthless lockdowns and masks as a viable solution. I’ll wash my hands frequently and not go out to bars to socialize - not that I’ve been tempted to go into a bar in the last 30 years - but I can’t go along with shutting down businesses, clamping down on churches, cancelling Thanksgiving, online schools, etc.
Masks don’t stop COVID. That is now irrefutable. Places with extremely strict mandates and near total compliance are seeing rises in cases and deaths that match anyplace that does not.
Lockdowns do more harm than good. We simply do not have the option of not working for years. Or even for most of 2020, unless you are Joe Biden and the Chinese are paying for you to become president.
Lots of reasonable things one can try. A Keto diet. An aspirin a day. Vitamin D. Lots of hand washing. Better AC/Heating systems and more HEPA filters. And I plan to take the vaccine when it is available. Others may not, but if the vaccine works, it will protect me while others can take their own chances in a free society.
But a constitution that can be suspended during a modest health problem is a constitution that has no value at all. We’re either free, or subjects of the state. I know which of those I choose to be.
Oh: Our population increases by 2 million a year. If 2020 sees only a 1.7 million increase, then as a population, it is barely a hiccup!
Durham!
What helped the Biden campaign is fear mongers like you who bought into the scam, which helped set up the mail in voting fiasco.
The rest is history.
Cute.
“The latest research indicates that at most 1 out of 5 cases is asymptomatic at the time of testing.”
I haven’t been dumb enough to trust “Nature” on anything remotely political in years. But...
I just had a couple days with a slightly scratchy throat. Was it allergies? COVID? An almost imperceptible cold? Don’t know. But with my lifelong allergies, I have “symptoms” of COVID about 5 days out of 7. And have had them for 60 years.
If you don’t sneeze, cough, or scream, you are not forcibly expelling the virus. You might be slightly contagious, but not a significant spreader. Which is why 3 couples I know have had one spouse catch COVID while the other, living as man & wife, did not. Mild fever. Mild sore throat. And living with their spouse, the spouse did not catch it. But I’m to avoid walking thru a store any time I feel congestion?
What about Durham, sheep boy?
p.s. I thought you didn't talk to 'tips.
p.p.s. I hope you're wearing your mask and have less than ten people over for Thanksgiving. Don't make me call the fuzz.
This is an interesting line from that article - “For men, it is expected to drop from 81.3 to 80.8 years, which roughly offsets the large increase in life expectancy recorded in 2019.”
I’m interested in what that’s about. A larger than normal increase last year, followed by a return to normal this year?
I'm going with legalized marijuana.
Guess which camp you're in, wee Prescott.
Re: I wonder what the life expectancy drop is in the US.
Here are the Wisconsin numbers from https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/covid-19/deaths.htm#demographics
Judging by this, the average age of death by Corona in Wisconsin is somewhere in the 80s. I’d think this would have a net result of raising the life expectancy.
90+ = 666
80-89 = 991
70-79 = 811
60-69 = 434
50-59 = 174
40-49 = 61
30-39 = 27
20-29 = 14
10-19 = 0
0-9 = 0
Oh, and also notice the big fat zeros for 0-19.
I liked the immigrant population increase idea, but I would have thought that would have shown over more years.
Happy Thanksgiving, gas_dr! Thank you so much for being one who takes care of the very sick! The world needs more like you and our other fine doctors here on FR.
Is it just deaths from Covid that are dropping life expectancy?
Or is it also deaths of despair - direct suicide, indirect though drug and alcohol abuse and overdose, failure to thrive for our shut in elderly?
Hard to quantify but still it is real.
