over 2 million people churned thru our hospitals. 670K died.


And you also know as a cold hard fact that every single one of them actually had COVID AND was the cause of death?

Don’t be a naive moron.

who’s gonna be skeered of a scamdemic that isn’t dropping folks like flies.

Even with their bogus numbers, people aren’t dropping like flies, but the propaganda has been so effective, and the average person is such a complete imbecile, that they’ve managed to bring us to this point, to this absolute madness and tyranny, easily.

But your calculation assumes that all 73,000,000 get infected with WuFlu.

How much are we willing to do as a society to prevent 19,000 dead American children?

Yeah, if only we’d accepted absolut government control and tyranny decades ago, just think of how many lives would have been saved...

So many that they'd have to kill some of us to make room for them. ; )

The Chinese social credit score is coming...with big tech advancing the way, it won’t even need governments but they’ll be supporting anyway.

Say the wrong thing? Your Amazon store gets shut down. Your bank account gets closed. Your flight reservation is denied. Automated with AI. They’re all ‘private companies’ ya know. Yeah...but they’ve never had access to such a wealth of connected backend data that is shared between them.

I don’t see a way to stop it.

Sorry - your math is wrong...

You need to move a percentage TWO decimal points before multiplying.

73,000,000 X 0.999973 = 72,998,029 survivors

73,000,000 minus 72,998,029 = 1,971 deaths

So, if 100% of 0-17 year olds got infected, the estimated death toll would be 1,971.

I recall encountering a math moron many years ago on a lesser forum. He was similarly math stupid.

Is that you Floogy?

Mine was a correction in the math as stated. Not an assumption.

459 dead children is also incorrect.

73,000,000 X .000027 = 1,971 dead children

That, of course, requires a 100% infection rate, which would never happen.

Our government cares.
That’s why the want you to get the shot.
If you survive being aborted,killed by a criminal gun owner, get killed by an illegal, get killed by a jihadist, get killed in a war that shouldn’t be...oh, and being vaxxes.

O-K. Got it.

My point is that we don't have an infection rate to apply to the age group population to complete the total death calculation.

For now, I guess we'll have to use the CDC figure posted by JaguarXKE in post 30:

...the number of deaths of under 19, per CDC, from 1 Jan 2020 till now is 470.

“The 70+ group death rate was probably much higher because they were much more likely to be trapped in nursing homes or stuck on a ventilator.”

Not that much higher for those above 70. But in that group, 40% die in nursing homes (thanks to NY, WA, and several other killing states).

It is helpful to remember that USA seasonal influenza has an average fatality rate of 0.1% - 0.2%.

It is also helpful to remember that the CDC does not count COVID deaths the same way it counts influenza deaths.

Influenza + Pneumonia = 10% to 20% Influenza deaths

COVID + Pneumonia = 100% COVID deaths!

Globalists have had better results with politically correct CV19 pandemic than they’ve had with politically correct global warming imo.

Insights welcome.

But, the COVID hysteria is being used to destroy individual liberty and freedom. The lives lost in the US Civil War, WWI and WWII should not be in vain.

Every life lost is indeed a tragedy. Every life lost is a loss for our humanity:

For Whom the Bell Tolls
by
John Donne 1623

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend’s were.
Each man’s death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

Yeah. And that's probably too high by an order of magnitude.
