They don’t seem to publish the death rate anymore. I wonder why?

They have slowly but surely over the last year and a half, changed the reporting from deaths from Covid, to deaths with Covid, to Covid hospitalizations, to Covid cases, to tested positive to try to make it sound as if the “pandemic” were still as serious as it was (which was not much) as it was at the beginning of this all.

They are counting on people not noticing the subtle shift in rhetoric and narrative.

And mostly they were right.

— “They don't seem to publish the death rate anymore. I wonder why?”

An early-posted question to Tipllub wanted to know about hospitalizations. Why not deaths? Because "deaths" officially are not the central focus if the narrative.

Here's the UK data:

Sources: Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/

Worldometer -- population (2021)

https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/population-by-country/

( 147,634 "officially" dead "from" and "with" / 67,886,011 population ) x 100 = 0.217 %

Less than one quarter of one percent over about two years time.

This is why scary graphs and screaming headlines predominate.

Looking too closely upsets the panic. And the politics.
