SEATTLE - The COVID-19 pandemic has killed more than twice as many people around the world as the official death counts show, according to a new analysis by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.
The official global death toll as of Thursday stands at about 3.26 million, but the new analysis found that COVID-19 has actually caused about 6.9 million deaths worldwide.
“As terrible as the COVID-19 pandemic appears, this analysis shows that the actual toll is significantly worse,” said Dr. Chris Murray, director of the UW institute. “Understanding the true number of COVID-19 deaths not only helps us appreciate the magnitude of this global crisis, but also provides valuable information to policymakers developing response and recovery plans.”

Because those evil red state governors opened their states up and people started dropping dead all over the place?
Oh, the huge manatee!
Yeah, I smell bullsheesh too.
All culled from media resources.
Well, I wonder what they think is the real number for China and not their Politburo figures.
Complete horse manure: China shows a death rate of 1 per million, plus there’s no account of the tremendous inflation of COVID deaths in the US because of conflating COVID with regular influenza.

Genius I tell you genius! The authorities obviously neglected to count a large number of people who died from cancer, heart disease, strokes, gun shots, drug over-doses, suicides, falling in the bath tub, and etc., etc... They did their best but there were still a lot of uncounted deaths where someone might have had Covid in their system when they died from other obvious causes.
I dont personally know even a single person who has died or even been seriously ill from it.
I know of one who died with covid.
Co-worker’s wife who had some serious underlying health issues contracted covid and ended up dying.
True global COVID death toll is more than double the official toll, and the official death toll is more than quadruple the real toll, and the infected and recovered rate is smidgeon below the milliard where the framus intersects with the ramistad at approximately the perinostra.
All over America, deaths by natural causes are tallied as Covid because hospitals get kickbacks (subsidies) from the Feds. And the jerks publishing Covid deaths don’t have a clue. They believe in the Tooth Fairy and Tinker Bell.
The University of Washington fearporn “models” were responsible for scaring the blue state Governors into the most restrictive measures.
Last year at this time their “curves” had variations for shutdown vs. no shutdown, masking vs. no masking, etc, etc.
I wonder how much funding their receive from the CCP.
Whatever the CHICOM OFFICIAL number is, just multiply by at least 20.
Condolences on that loss but those people are typically the ones who die from the flu every year. We went magically went from 20 to 50 thousand flu deaths per year to essentially zero? That’s not passing ghe smell test.
I personally know more people who committed suicide during the lockdown than died from COVID. I wonder more about deaths—physical, economic or otherwise—from the lockdown than from the virus.
“...is more than quadruple the real toll, and the infected and recovered rate is smidgeon below the milliard where the framus intersects with the ramistad at approximately the perinostra.”
This is some GREAT work you have done to separate the fact from fiction. The only thing you omitted was the bifurcation rastis subclones and the etrasi azmith on the Tumasis chart showing the Covid colagafrazing.
Well, I don’t believe that China, the origin of the “pandemic”, had less deaths from it than the isolated island continent of Australia, that’s for sure.
However, I doubt that is where this study “found” all the “missing deaths”.
Damn, I suck at math.
Yes, I know two people who contracted it and got seriously ill. One of them had only one lung to begin with, from a motorcycle accident, and he recovered but had a rough time. The other was overweight and an alcoholic, and refused to go to the hospital, because he was going to go to his mother’s holistic healer instead. He died.
“Damn, I suck at math.”
Me too. I got the information from one of my landscapers helpers.
I think he’s an illegal alien.
I have talked to hundreds of people with Covid. I am uniquely positioned to do so. I would personally estimate that 5% of them ended up on a med surg floor and 5% ended up in the ICU and I’m honestly not 100% sure what ever became of them after I sent them up to the floor and the hospital will. not. say. I have seen ICU nurses fighting tears like a soldier with PTSD when you ask them about it though.
Even the inflated numbers show it was not that bad as pandemics of novel diseases go.
