Survey: Americans Think Coronavirus Has Killed 30 Million People in the U.S., 225 Times Higher Than Actual Figure Results suggest media alarmism has fanned the flames of hysteria. Published 5 months ago on 5 August, 2020
There are a lot of stupid, fearful Americans in this country. Perfect for sheep that are being led to their slaughter.
But according to the CDC themselves, the actual death rate from covid is only 6% of the total reported number. The other 94% are from comorbidities or people who died from other causes besides covid and/or people who died with the corona virus but not from its related disease, covid-19.
There have also been significant financial incentives to code deaths from covid, when the the deaths could not be directly attributed to covid.
That would mean that the total reported deaths from covid year-to-date of 300,000, is more like 18,000 covid deaths, a much smaller number than the alarmists are trying to sell to the public.
The fact that the government is paying incentive dollars for every covid reported death undermines the integrity of the death statistics. The politicization of these numbers, along with the onerous over-the-top responses by bureaucrats to a virus that causes a disease that 99.8% of the population recover from or survive, is a real tragedy for the American public.
Our public officials should be ashamed of themselves. They've lied to us and tricked people into behavior that is not necessary and may even be more harmful than the virus itself.
