NYC hits another grim COVID milestone with 25,000 deaths

Except that's not true at all.

Deaths from all other non-COVID causes are at or slightly above their normal average from the past 5 years:

Meanwhile, deaths in NYC and other parts of the country are well in excess of their normal amounts:

What's more, the actual number of excess deaths in each state aligns with the totals we have for COVID-19 deaths:

Whether we have excess deaths is not in question. People have absolutely died. To believe otherwise is to believe that every doctor, nurse, medical examiner, family member, funeral home, and cemetery are all engaged in some massive conspiracy with the government. That same government that couldn't launch a website to buy stuff (i.e. healthcare plans) suddenly is absolutely expert and perfect at a massive coordinated effort to deceive the 20% of the country not already actively engaged in this massive conspiracy? No.

The real question is WHY did all these people die? WHY did governors like Cuomo and Newsom force nursing homes to accept known-infected patients, knowing full-well that it was lead to mass numbers of deaths? WHY did none of these governors take any steps to secure elderly care facilities and ensure the safety of the residents once it became clear who was primarily going to die from this disease? WHY did they have no stockpiles of PPE ready for a pandemic to ensure hospital workers would be protected and able to keep working? WHY did they burn money on things like taking homeless people from living outdoors (classified as low risk for COVID by CDC) and put them indoors in hotels (classified as high risk for COVID by CDC)? WHY did they shut down most stores, causing panic-buying and thousands of bodies to get crammed into places like Costco and Walmart, spreading the disease like wildfire?

All these questions add up to tens if not hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths on the hands of those responsible. We should be holding people like Newsom and Cuomo and others accountable for their criminally negligent homicides and failed policies and resulted in so many of our fellow Americans dying needlessly.

Blame that directly on Cuomo.

Here’s one- We have 300,000+ less deaths than 2019

From Johns Hopkins:

Consider the following figures- US Total deaths by year per CDC:

2013: 2,596,993
2014: 2,626,418
2015: 2,712,630
2016: 2,744,248
2017: 2,813,503
2018: 2,839,205
2019: 2,855,000
2020: as of 11/14 total deaths= 2,512,880

Red CCP Chinese did, and we also did by refusing HCL and other prophylactic drugs, so Big Pharma could make billions with their ‘vaccines’.

[Maskot]

Weird huh? No flu to speak of but boy that covid is killing peoples everwhare! It’s soooo sneaky, hiding behind trees just waiting to jump people when they leave the house, mutating into SUPER covid only in blue states, doesn’t seem to affect the crowds doing BLM or antifa, Costco or Walmart during the day but only comes out after curfew.

Always remember: they said 15 days to flatten the curve almost 9 months ago

[ronnie raygun]

Scumbag govenor preventing prophylactic treatment ivermectin and hyroxichloriquin. He is literally killing people for political gain, he needs to be tarred and feathered in public

[OldMissileer]

Is it true that flu deaths have almost vanished this fall and early winter?

I am too tired to turn this link into HTML so you can just copy and paste.

Anyway, it says the CDC announced that for the week of 13-19 December the number of flu cases was less than 40.

I have been looking at the numbers since before this crap started and have been talking to deaf ears (not those here at FR) that this is all a statistical hoax that is intended to destroy our Country.

[OldMissileer]

Oops! I forgot the link.

[Rebelbase]

25000 out of 18 million. Someone please do the math.

[OldMissileer]

Means: "The person that died probably knew someone who knew someone that had Covid. Or had sniffles, or a cough. Nevermind that they were 90 years old and were hit by a bus or had a stroke."

The number of cycles used during each test is not supposed to exceed 34. Several months ago I was reading they should use 14 or 15 cycles at the most. Anyway, the number of cycles recommended by the CDC is 40 and doctors and scientists agree once above 34 there is a zero chance any positive generated is real.

The tests are being deliberately used to create false positives and lie to the citizens.

[LegendHasIt]

Yep, and even without the vastly increased number of cycles, the base test is highly skewed at producing false positives.

PLUS the most commonly used test isn’t even designed for specifically Covid-19. It picks up any SARS type virus or common cold coronavirus.

How many were living outside of nursing homes, not morbidly obese, and had adequate levels of Vitamin D?

See post #23.

Thanks, Bob. Will bookmark that for future reference.

[escapefromboston]

Wouldn’t every death be a milestone ? It’s not like you can reverse deaths. What a dumb headline .

[cymbeline]

“What does “linked” actually mean?”

It means that when the doctors are looking at a death by motorcycle crash they might discover that covid was the underlying cause.

[jonrick46]

What’s the racial demographics of these dead COVID-19 victims?

[blueunicorn6]

There must be bodies everywhere.

[SuperLuminal]

BS report...

[Stingray51]

The excess deaths exceed the reported Covid deaths. But to what extent are the excess deaths made up of the Covid deaths? If the Covid deaths are mostly in place of deaths that would have occurred anyway (flu, old age...), then the excess deaths may be mostly deaths that result not from Covid itself but from our reaction to Covid (delayed diagnosis and treatment of cancer, suicides....). The way to determine the cause of the excess deaths is to compare the age distribution of the excess deaths with the age distribution of the Covid deaths. The two age distributions do not match up at all. This was the point of the Johns Hopkins article a few weeks ago that caused a lot controversy.
