A new study suggests the number of Americans who will die after contracting the novel coronavirus is likely to more than triple by the end of the year, even if current social-distancing habits continue for months on end.

In other words no matter what we do covid-19 will simply run its' course.

It seems that many of these estimates have been wrong.

But, even if true? How many of them will be in Eeeeew Yuck?

This ‘Study’ person needs to be fired.

My own computer model indicates that we will all be dead by next Tuesday.

Let’s write down this information, plus the name of the idiots who did the “study.” That way, when it doesn’t come true, we can have them banned from the internet for spreading false information.

“This ‘Study’ person needs to be fired.”

There are no repercussions in the modern scientific community for being wrong. Logic and reason has been replaced with politics and payoffs.

Is there not ONE SINGLE American doctor or health professional around any more?

Why are all these quoted and go-to spokespeople always some odd hyphenated ethnicity?

Even though the rates of infection and death are dropping throughout the country. Are they hoping for a second wave?

There are lies, damned lies, and then there are statistics.

But nothing beats studies.

It’s the same thing all over again. What is scary is never what is happening. What is scary is what they say “could” happen. I tire of their unrealized and constantly downgraded models.

But the job is to gain control by increasing fear. I’m not part of that equation and mainly just want to make sure I have enough ammo.

What about the rest of the 2.1 million Americans who are to die?

In other words, “Nobody Gets Out Alive.”

Next year the seasonal flu will kill another 30K to 80K Americans and again next year, and again next year, repeat until extinction.

Soooo damned tired of hypochondriacs.

Make everyone take 1,000 IU Vitamin D3 and 25 mg zine supplements daily starting the autumnal equinox to the next vernal equinox. Guarantee the death rate will be VASTLY lower because a combination of Vitamin D3 and zinc makes you a lot less vulnerable to virus infections.

Especially when they do the national scale equivalent of yelling FIRE! in a theater.

No, no. If we hand all power over to the Democrats and go full socialist, Covid will be miraculously simply a nuisance, not a crisis.

Exactly!
