RE: cases are meaningless.

But 170,000 deaths is depressingly high.

170,000 sounds high but in the US in a normal year, 53,000 people die every week. So in the 24 weeks this thing gas been killing people we lost 1.3 million people, so the covid number is 14% of normal. Question is is that on top of normal or are some of those people who would have died anyway?

Because this virus kills older people it is likely some covid deaths would have died anyway. We won’t know until it’s over.

My guess is the extra deaths are somewhere between 5-7%.

I agree that it is depressingly high, but I caution you and others to think...what would our numbers be if we as a country allowed our doctors to use HCQ with zinc and antibiotic at the early stages of the disease? I posit that our numbers would be DRASTICALLY improved!!!

Fauci, Gates, and many many others have egos and money on the line. Frankly, they should be charged with terrible crimes against humanity. They continue to fiddle while Rome has already burned to the ground.

The number of those disabled might be even more interesting. We’ll probably see some news about that within a few months.

The flu kills 80,000 a year. Take away 50,000 nursing homes murders by northern governors, minus another 20 - 30,000 from throwing patients on ventilators early, factor maybe 10,000+ misreported deaths, lockdown killed several thousands, not allowing HQC/ZPAC/Zinc combo, etc... Soon, you’re approaching normal flu numbers.

There was a hell of a lot that went wrong, murder, misreporting, media misinformation, that needlessly caused countless deaths.
