I’ll guarantee Fauci and Birx are going to run with this bull sh*t as justification to keep our economy shut down. At some point President Trump is going to have to call these two frauds out, and remind Americans the projected deaths being touted by Fauci and Birx from this bug, and the actual number of deaths, and how these bogus models got it all wrong!
I don’t believe a syllable they utter.
Swine flu has killed up to 17,000 in U.S.: report
HEALTH NEWS FEBRUARY 12, 2010 / 11:18 AM / 10 YEARS AGO
H1N1 swine flu has killed as many as 17,000 Americans, including 1,800 children, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Friday...
ACCURATE ESTIMATES
The CDC and the World Health Organization stopped trying to count all the actual cases months ago, once it became clear that H1N1 was a pandemic that would infect millions...
Oh good, in what field?
... are warning the national count of Covid-19 deaths in the United States could be underestimated...
Note the weasel-word there, "could" -- gotta keep the fear up! The proletariat aren't buying our BS anymore! Up the ante!
This could be especially true because the reporting data can lag by an average of one to two weeks...
Gosh, ya think!? Wow...and the "health experts" making the projections probably never thought of this nugget either, eh? I would say it is insulting but some of the people making the projections are demonstrably idiots so... But still, you think people in the business of using data to make projections don't know the nature and characteristics of the data and their models? Who ever wrote and edited this should go back to covering the latest HS drama club production, that's about all they are qualified for.
Sure. People with underlying health issues are far more likely to die of COVID-19. We all know that. The question that should be asked is: What percentage of people have underlying health issues that make them vulnerable? Are these people at fault? Do they deserve to die? Maybe if they are smokers or fat as a pig, but...
My parents, for example, are in their seventies, aren’t fat at all, do not smoke, but have hypertension. They can surely be here 10 or 15 more years. If they got COVID-19, it would probably be serious and who knows whether or not they would survive.
If you die in a car accident and test positive for covid, you died of covid.
Estimated is meaningless only the facts count.
In 2010 they stopped counting h1n1 flu virus deaths by February, and They just went to estimates
Estimates had nothing to do with it the cure did.
Everyone who dies (of anything other than physical trauma) will go on CNN’s Corona list.
bttt
They did that during the gulf war
Which are precisely the class of persons that needs to be kept at distance from the infected, especially in their own house or hospital. Likewise those who are infectious. Give them sun and fresh air and walks when possible. In contrast, shutting down schools, outlawing voluntary community and commerce with shelter-in-place (until they get too sick from being cooped up with the infected) for all but a few (due to unemployment) will cost more in the long run then risking healthy people to be infected until it does out due to recoveries and weakening of the virus, as with the flu.
