So what? 30 new dead is NOTHING. Utter nonsense. “Cases” means nothing. Almost no one died from COVID.

“30 new dead is NOTHING.”

I’m sure that at least 30 people would disagree. And FYI, from day one Germany has been tallying CCP-19 related deaths as anything else if there was a comorbidity involved.

“Almost no one died from COVID.”

If you are referring to the 6% fallacy, you are perpetuating a lie. First, 6% of 225,000 is over 13,000 people. That’s not “almost no one.” Second, if you apply the same standard to the common flu, you get a number half of that - in other words, only about 3% of the deaths from the common flu are “just” the flu. Third, virtually all diseases behave that way - they don’t kill you outright, they allow for opportunistic infections or existing comorbidities to do the dirty work. Fourth, if you get the flu you might get pneumonia as well, and it is the pneumonia *symptoms* that may kill you. If you get CCP-19 the accompanying pneumonia *symptoms* are actually direct symptoms of the corona virus, not an opportunistic infection (usually), so many of the “covid with pneumonia” cases are really just covid cases. They are being mistabulated based on the flu model, which is inaccurate. Fifth, if CCP-19 had been allowed to run amok as the “muh right to infect you all” crowd wanted, our HCS would have been imperiled and even if it sustained the burden, the death toll would have been many times higher.

Callous disregard for the welfare of others is not a conservative virtue.

In the end, virtually nobody dies of anything other than brain hypoxia. Often after a chain of avoidable circumstances.
