We disagree but COVID-19 is nothing more than a bad cold especially when you have a 99.99% survival rate.

The ~428k+ number is deaths with people that had covid 19 when they died not killed by covid 19 and if the testing for covid is as bad as it is (PRC test) then the numbers are much lower anyway.

"COVID-19 is nothing more than a bad cold especially when you have a 99.99% survival rate."

The Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) for COVID-19 is 0.65% (a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios-archive/planning-scenarios-2020-09-10.pdf">Source). So the survival rate is actually 99.35%.

"The ~428k+ number is deaths with people that had covid 19 when they died not killed by covid 19"

You're misunderstanding. I'm not talking about deaths attributed to COVID-19 specifically. I'm saying there were 2,839,205 total deaths from any and all causes in 2018, then 2,854,838 total deaths in 2019, then suddenly out of the blue, 3,291,095+ total deaths in 2020.

That's 436,257 more deaths in a single year. That's a 15% jump in a single year. You cannot explain away that jump. That's not causes of death being shuffled around; that's 436,000 extra deaths which suddenly appeared out of the blue in the same year we had a global pandemic doctors and nurses around the world said was killing patients.

To not put 2 and 2 together there is frankly pretty laughable. It takes some serious mental gymnastics to explain away 436,000 dead bodies that shouldn't be there.
