The US suffered its deadliest week from the coronavirus pandemic last week — and it’s only going to get worse, numerous experts have warned.

Data from Johns Hopkins University shows that 15,658 Americans died over the last seven days — in what the university says is a new record surpassing even the initial peak in April.

Funny, I work all over US and don’t know a single person. I also had contractors at my house for months, and while they were rebuilding my house I ate out every meal for months because I had no way to cook anything. Yet I know not one person who got sick

According to the CDC, an estimated 7600 American die a day from all causes. That's 2.7 million a year. 700 people die a day in California. In WA State it is 200 a day.

That is the normal count.

My mother said local news here (Pittsburgh PA) said two bus drivers died from it - one 33 years old or so. I asked questions about other med issues they may have had...

You know all these headlines of "XYZ deadliest day/week/month of ..." are starting to sound the same. They're really starting to sound a lot like "XYZ sees the warmest PDQ on record" or "warmest X since Y"...

Really kind of questioning just how much more hyperbole they can shovel. Eventually we should all be dropping dead of CV and/or roasted alive. Which is it?

Is that an admission that the masks and business closings are a failure?

HA! As if.

Miraculously, nobody died of heart disease, cancer, or influenza that week.

I believe it is serious for some people, I also believe it has been over-hyped and used to destroy the economy and election integrity.

Masked up. Shut down. Distancing. Sanitizing. Zoom schooling. And still the cases are exploding at the highest rate after nearly a year? 100% absolute unadulterated bullshit!

It’s NOT COVID, its the FLU!

But we all know that EVERYTHING is COVID!

From “old age” to motorcycle accidents.

A bit too soon to be the foretold Thanksgiving massacre.

I asked a Kool Aid drinker the other day why the good old Flu has virtually disappeared? He said it was because of masks. So I asked him then why is Covid not disappearing as well? His answer was “well I’m going to stay protected” Insane.

A reasonable person might question the efficacy of masks, social distancing, and lockdowns, given their obvious ineffectiveness.

A reasonable person might also wonder why we get so little in the way of context, or really, anything in the way of honesty and openness about anything having to do with COVID.

But then, politicians, media, and libtards are hardly reasonable.

Et tu, NY Post?

Where does covid rank in the causes of death over that same time period? And what were the numbers B.C. (Before Covid)?

Counting heart attacks, cancer deaths and kidney failures as Covid deaths to rake in the Federal Bounty would explain it.

Right now the total US death rate (for all sources) for 2020 is 2 million. Last year the total rate was 2.7 million. So we have a raging pandemic with fewer total deaths this year.
