Masochistic much?

Someone said it on FR... Branch COVIDIANS. That pretty much what the covid cultists like yourself are Rachel.
A sad pathetic man child looking for acceptance and only finding rejection on a daily basis.
Need to change the name to “Quackzak”
Splain this for us:
Average daily deaths, sans Covid, are 7,755 or so.
If 870 die a day from Covid, that’s over 10% of all other deaths.
Covid has infected less than 10% of the population and has a pretty low death rate for a “pandemic”.
How do you twist the numbers to make a less than 1% (way less) rate (that would be if Covid had a full 10% rate divided by 10 as the percentage of folks it infects) come out to over 10% and keep a straight face?
Comparisons of flu deaths and COVID deaths are meaningless because the CDC does not count them the same way.
About half of COVID deaths involve pneumonia or Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
However, when COVID and pneumonia, or COVID and ARDS, are on the same death certificate, COVID is the Underlying Cause of Death (UCOD) 100% of the time.
The exact reverse is true for influenza and severe common colds.
At least half of pneumonia deaths, and at least half of ARDS deaths, are preceded by influenza or a severe cold.
However, on death certificates, influenza and severe common colds are the UCOD only about 10% of the time.
The National Center for Health Statistics says that the USA Excess Total Death number in 2020 was about 550,000 higher than the average of 2018-2019.
That is close to a 20% increase, which is obviously very serious.
For the first 11 weeks of 2021, USA Excess Total Deaths are up about 16% compared to 2018-19, which is still very serious.
The good news is that healthy people under age 60 have a COVID death rate that is less than or equal to the death rate in an average flu season.
Bottom Line...
Protect the elderly and the infirm.
Everyone else, back to your normal life!
Roses are red,
Stubborn’s the mule,
He won’t give it up,
And Kozak’s a ghoul.
