About 7,000 die a day in the US under circumstances other than the new virus. When they give the number of deaths now, are they strictly from the virus? Who is giving the numbers and can that number be trusted.

Could they.. the left... use this for the coming election .. hoping they can work what they could not do in 4 years.

Folks, what you are told by government is always wrong. If you saw how data is manipulated or even worse, distorted by incompetence, by the people who work in government, you would understand my initial statement.

I am a senior and living long enough, we learn things.. and this is not real.. this is not what it seems.. this is not to shut our country down. If it were not for the internet, there would be no shut down.. people would deal with whatever it is... but we live in an instant world today and it’s making us go off half cocked....

Excellent piece. This C math student looked at the numbers from Italy and just could not square them with the huge body counts in their projections. Now even the experts have scaled back to 80-90K.

If we had real journalists they’d be asking hard questions of Birx and Fauci. Instead they just aim gotchas at Trump.

Could all of this not be solved, and the economy restarted, with massive, ongoing testing?? Or would that solution make too much sense? Where the hell are the test kits?

Making this more deadly is the rat governors and mayors of states. Opening jails, not arresting criminals, withholding medications that may work, overloading hospitals to use as political fodder while makeshift hospitals and boats remain empty. The entire country now is getting daily news on gov and mayors of different states and their antics. We are finding out how corrupt, criminal, incompetent, deliberately ill prepared, and inept most are and in many cases downplaying the seriousness at the onset of this virus by telling their citizens its just a normal flu continue your daily lives. They are NAGANIZING this event, remember what mayor nagan did to bush during the hurricane, he and the media hung this around his neck like a burning tire

Not QUITE the right question…


IF What We’re Being Told About The Coronavirus Pandemic is Wrong; how would we know?

And this does NOT count the almost 3,000 a day from CHOICE!

Seems to me at this time this game the Rats are playing is extremely dangerous. The guy who taught me how to place the caps in Gelignite smoke Pall Malls. Non stop. Freaked me the F out. He said, “Relax.”

“More than 7,000 Americans die every single day, on average, of everything. Over the course of this pandemic, this has amounted to a noticeable but still mild uptick above that average over the course of it.”

How mild; How noticeable?

Could they be double counting a cause of death?

The lower than projected numbers mean that the control measures are effective, not that they are unnecessary.

The projections always assume no control measures in place.

Public health efforts are geared towards testing those who may have been exposed; what further information could you get from testing every person regardless of risk status? And it is not cheap to make or perform the tests.

The low numbers show, that even with the CDC promoting padding the number, this is Nothing like the hype

When all else fails, look at it with thought and sense... knowing the government has lied to us for years and they spent the last 4 years trying everything they can think of to get the control back...

and the people.. they can’t control the people who voted for Trump and who will vote for him again in Nov... all they want is control... absolute control.. watch what they do with this virus..

I think, given past dire circumstances in our country, we are acting like we are scared and they keep feeding it with how bad it will get... Trump is between the death count and the country’s economy.... it’s a better trap from the left than impeachment was..

We’ve been receiving information developed for children in order to prevent panic. Few people know what it really does to people and how many. But yes, some people know.

Have a look at this chart.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_the_United_States#CDC_reported_U.S._totals

You should be able to see that if we turn everyone loose, things are going to get far uglier. Who would go out shopping for nonessential items and being entertained in indoor groups, if they were to suddenly realize that the virus is more sneaky, insidious and dangerous than an army of snipers?

It’s the disease—not the information. Turn it loose, and it will shut down the economy in more ways. That would apply, even if everyone were silent about it.

Oh, and look at the number of recoveries here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic#Epidemiology

Turning it loose, though, would certainly leave a population with a higher average IQ in the end, however smaller the population would be.
