It’s just the flu, bro.

I am not accepting the numbers above showing Coronavirus deaths skyrocketing. I refuse to accept that any disease is that serious with an average age of death over 80. Deadly diseases kill all ages. Diseases that kill primarily people over 80 can be relabeled as “old age” for cause of death.

This has a table that is updated frequently that shows Covid deaths and excess deaths in various countries. There are still many countries with very few excess deaths. This whole thing is difficult to parse out - how many excess deaths are Covid deaths and how many excess deaths are lockdown deaths?

The Constitution survived the Spanish flu 100 years ago.
But, everyday /you/ want us to willingly surrender our lives, liberty and property to a fickle government in order to be protected from a fleeting virus.

May your chains rest lightly upon you for you certainly are in bondage.

The Covid-19 pandemic has catapulted one mysterious data website to prominence, sowing confusion in international rankings

By Scott McLean, Laura Perez Maestro, Sergio Hernandez, Gianluca Mezzofiore and Katie Polglase, CNN
Published Tuesday, May 19, 2020 at 12:00 a.m. ET

"A person with Pasqualino’s name and birthday is also registered as a sole proprietor in Italy. That business manages and sells “advertising space,” according to an Italian registration document filed last year. Its address leads to a tidy, three-story apartment building on a leafy street in an upscale neighborhood in Bologna."

"Worldometer has faced criticism over transparency of ownership, lack of citations to data sources, and unreliability of its COVID-19 statistics and rankings."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldometer

Who Runs the Worldometer Website?

The answer to the question as to who operates the Worldometer website, the website that almost the entire corporate media (and some in the Alternative Media as well) is publishing as fact, seems to be shrouded in mystery.

The Worldometer website claims this about the site:

Worldometer is run by an international team of developers, researchers, and volunteers with the goal of making world statistics available in a thought-provoking and time relevant format to a wide audience around the world. It is published by a small and independent digital media company based in the United States. We have no political, governmental, or corporate affiliation.

That’s it. No names of the people operating the website, and they do not identify the “small and independent digital media company based in the United States” on their own website.

It takes some digging to find out the name of the company who owns the Worldometer website, and it is Dadax. They appear to have a single page website which says:

Dadax is a US-based and American owned small digital media company.

It was founded over 15 years ago.

We are the publishers of Worldometer.

That’s it.

When searching for more information about this company, it is difficult to find much else. There is a company of the same name in China, but they have publicly stated that they have no affiliation with the U.S. company by the same name.

There is a Dadax, LLC company listed in Delware that is listed as a “Foreign Limited Liability Company.”

According to this listing, it is managed by two persons, and the principle person is DARIO PASQUALINO. But there are several other “related companies” with the same name. (Source.)

Interestingly, the Worldometer’s website was attacked by cyber attacks in March, as someone apparently wanted the website to come down. (Source.)

Because the data on Worldometer is almost identical to the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) website at Johns Hopkins University, it is possible that the data source for both sites are the same.

Lauren Gardner, an epidemiologist and co-director of the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, is credited with developing the dashboard that is mirrored on the Worldometer website.

Guo Meiping, writing for the China Global Television Network (CGTN) in an article titled: “Why does U.S. COVID-19 data come from a university not the government?“, states:

The entire concept and visualization of the (Johns Hopkins University) dashboard were prepared by a civil and systems engineering professor, Lauren Gardner, and two Chinese students, Dong Ensheng and Du Hongru – both first-year Ph.D. students at the University’s Center for Systems Science and Engineering.

Dong told a local Chinese media outlet that on March 12, the dashboard got two billion hits from the entire world in a single day. They also co-authored a short piece explaining the dashboard, which was published on the world-leading medical journal The Lancet on February 19.

At this point, who owns Worldometer is still a mystery. It appears to mirror the dashboard at Johns Hopkins University, but it is not clear from which site the data originates.

All these dead folks give the marxist media something to talk about 24/7...certainly more important than any ‘election fraud stories’...
