Where are all the FEARPERS to set us “straight” and tell us how wrong we are on all this? They seem to be disappearing quickly these days!
What part are you supposed to be wrong about? Doesn't everyone know that an extra 3,700 people dying suddenly could have been caused by lots of things other than a virus that happens to be rampaging through the community.
The average weekly deaths in NYC from ALL CAUSES is about 1,050. It doesn’t matter if 5,000 died last week or 10,000 died last week, it’s obviously not normal, and obviously the result of something that has changed. It’s obviously the virus that is killing them, and if it isn’t please tell me your theory about what killed 10,000 people when normally only 1,050 die in a week. Seriously, I’m listening. Actually I’m not.
The more morons who post on this site, the more morons I will call out.
