Of course, it if very difficult to get any honest reporting from the mainstream media today
------------
The CDC website is even confusing.
The Worldometer coronavirus website says there have been 7,896 coronavirus deaths in the US as of noon on Saturday April 4, 2020.
The CDC website has only 1,150 US deaths listed as confirmed or presumed to be linked to the coronavirus.
-------------
According to the collected data:
** 79% (910/1150) are over the age of 65 ** 90% (1033/1150) are over the age of 55 ** 3.5% are under 45 ** 0.7 (9/1150) are under 35
Like other reports the VAST MAJORITY of the coronavirus deaths are people over age 65 — nearly 80%.
----------------
What is most shocking is the number of coronvirus deaths versus all deaths in the United States.
According to the CDC there are an average 7,838 deaths in the US every day. (446,778/57 days) Using the CDC numbers only 0.2% of all deaths in US are due to coronavirus. (1150/446,778) Using the Worldometer numbers 1.8% of all deaths in US are due to coronavirus (7896/446,778)
What is also interesting is the number of total deaths this year is lower than the same time period in previous years! (percent of expected deaths column in chart)

And 90% of those had major underlying conditions.
The election year factor has caused this. I have no doubt in my mind.
QUESTION:
Who appointed Fauci/Birx in leadership positions to dictate the response based on Bill Gates’ fake models?
Was it VP Pence?
The DNC and the CCP have been working together on this.
You want collusion? I got your f’ing collusion right here!
The presumed part is what bugs the heck outta me.
We’re burning the village to save it using presumed?!
At the end of the year, I would like to see how the 2020 US death rate compares to 2019, 2018, 2017.
We’re paying a heavy price in many ways — and how much of an increase in death are we really seeing? We won’t know until it’s over.
we are pretty far into April at this point and my original prediction still holds true. That when all the dust clears less people will die of Covid 19 AND the flu this year than died in the 2017-2018 flu season (61,000)
We are still WAY before 61,000 combined deaths at this point.
Too late. The economy has been taken down. The questions now are how long it will take to recover, and what will be the knock-on effects of the takedown.
You bet your hip pockets the Dimocommies will destroy the economy over this if it helps them defeat Trump. I believe that is what a lot of this is about. Sorry, that is just what I feel. Look what the leaders of NYC did back in Feb. Told everyone to go to Chinatown for all the celebrations, go to the theaters, go to movies, go to ball games, go party in the bars, use public transportation, this was not a problem, then BOOM, it nails the city. NOW WHY did they tell everyone everything was just peachy keen??? Just wondering.
later
These kinds of arguments are so incredibly embarrassing for their level of stupidity. It is beyond incredible, even now, people are still making these kinds of arguments. No level of reality has any sway over them.
Because people are not in perfect health, who cares if COVID-19 kills them?
Because people are old, who cares if COVID-19 kills them?
Because people aren’t being stabbed and shit at the usual rate, it’s just the flu, Bro’.
Shit... “Shot at the usual rate”...
Even with the Padded and presumed numbers
Just as was predicted - we are already now seeing the start of the argument formulating to continue explaining away reality - you are going to argue that any success of social distancing in mitigating the spread of this disease will be proof it was never needed.
Your argument totally ignores the fact that the death rate being as low as possible is the very point to flattening the curve - so that medical care is actually available to people who become ill - not only with COVID19 but any other illness or injury that requires hospitalization during this time. The death rate being low is the goal - through keeping our hospitals from being completely overloaded and denying people care. We already have proof in other countries of this occurring that does not occur with the seasonal flu or the common cold, and we don’t want that happening there. The economy would be just as disrupted by “letting it rip” like that. You would save no jobs, but would indeed take away many people’s families and friends from them.
So they close Best Buy, Gander Outdoors, Harbor Freight, Bass Pro Shop, Cabellas, etc. but you can ramble on through Target, Wal-mart, Menards, Home Depot and grocery stores. Doesn’t make sense. Just remain 6 ft. Apart and don’t let the doomsday officials totally demolish the economy.
I get your point, but my point is the complete panic and alarm and the number of death reported each day, when those numbers still aren’t greater than the 2017-2018 flu season numbers.
I mean it “sounds” terrifying you they report that 8,000 people have died of the virus! or 500 died today alone.
I am just trying to provide some perspective to those easily panicked. Just imagine if the deaths each year from the seasonal Flu were reported the same way these deaths are.
I mean... 61,000 people DIED in the US during the 2017-2018 Flu season.. I mean WTH???? that’s A LOT of freaking people!! those are our fellow citizens, friends and relatives! Why do we not shut down the economy EVERY YEAR! think of all the 10’s of THOUSANDS of lives it would save EVERY YEAR if we hid in our houses thru flu season?
Presumed is BS. Report factual data, not presumptions or model predictions based on presumptions. My presumption is that they are lying through their teeth about the real numbers. Got to keep the zombie apocalypse fears in motion.
Yep. assumption (at the bottom of above doc) is pretty open for interpretation.
