Most of the deaths in the US weren't even covid deaths. Hospitals were saying it was covid because it gives the hospitals funds. I had 2 friends die in a car accident and their cause of death is COVID not trauma but covid and they didn't even have it

We will all die from Covid eventually... even if it's 50 years from now on.

I still don't understand why we're giving hospitals money if patients die of "Covid". Why are they getting money for being failures? I don't get paid extra for screwing up at my job, why do they get money for letting people die on their watch?

it's relief for "treatment of covid"... it's pure bullshit that encourages hospitals to commit fraud in lying about covid. medicare fraud is already a multi-billion dollar industry, and they know no one will investigate covid fraud.

dr. birx is on video saying the US considers you a covid death if you die for any cause and test positive for covid.

the CDC data dump uses the ICD10 code for testing positive for covid, not death caused by covid. everyone with a pulse has seen george covid's video, and yet according to the CDC, he's a covid death.

the john hopkins article went over the bullshit in the "excess deaths" number... the media uses an extrapolated number of deaths for the non-covid deaths, and then the actual count of deaths labeled as covid, effectively double counting deaths. if you have a heart attack and die with covid, these "excess deaths" counts double count you. john hopkins got in trouble for disclosing actual death counts from CDC data, which shows the true death rate in 2020 is actually growing slower than the death rate in 2019 and every year for the last decade.

covid was entirely a scam to test authoritarian government restrictions, and fraudulently steal this election.

in contrast, many other countries didn't pull this bullshit fake counting, and their numbers are negligible.

I know why it's happening, I'm saying the fraud itself doesn't make sense and the fact no one is calling it out is ridiculous. If someone dies on your watch you don't deserve a bonus, that's all there is to it.

Not only that but let’s say inevitably that one token person or corporation gets caught faking numbers for the government money and is prosecuted.

You know what’s going to happen? They will literally say “oh hey Mr. Government. I committed fraud but your rules encouraged that so what I did was ok.”

That’s where our society is at. You can literally be a corrupt fuck and it’s ok as long as some backwards ass government program is designed to funnel you money.

These people don’t spend millions on lobbyists because the returns don’t come back.

If only our media and the normies would think more critically like this...

I guess Japan doesn't count suicides as "covid deaths"

Weellll... Japan🤨. Love 'em, love the country (not as much as the USA of course). But they do have some kind of a fetish with suicide. Sad really 😢

Fetish was more of an ironic misnomer. When you have a wooded area roughly the size of the pine barrens called "suicide forest", it's not just those that don't want to be a burden doing themselves in there.

Hari kari

cherryred 4 points ago +5 / -1

Hara-kiri, and it referred to specifically honorable suicide through disemboweling. The more formal literary term for it was seppuku. There would also often be someone there, someone close to them or an executioner, that would behead them once they saw them in pain, to spare them a long death. Since it was ritual in front of people, it's not really the same as someone quietly committing suicide at home. Could be motivated by the same reasons of honor though.

Makes sense to me, honestly. Who wants to take care of Grandma when she doesn't know where she is and who you are anymore? The US care system wants to demonize anyone that suggests "maybe its time for her to go" since they don't get to continue raping her family of $$$$

I've been there, and while it's a beautiful country and there is much to be admired about their well oiled machine of a society, it's strangely depressing. Imagine being surrounded by other people, but completely isolated at the same time. Ever seen 50+ people packed into a train car and it's dead silence? Even when people DO talk to each other, it's a closely followed script of saying what you're supposed to say and allowing the other person to say what they are supposed to say. Nobody deviates from the script out of consideration for the other person.

The cultural norms and pressure to conform are ever-present. From an outsider looking in, I'm glad I could just absorb the neat things about Japan and then just leave. Being trapped in that society must be the ultimate test of ones ability to handle social pressure.

And Japan is a very old country, where COVID should be scoring big points.

Does Japan need a hug or something? WTF is going on over there?

Suicide rates are way up everywhere, they're just sweeping it under the rug here. I couldn't find any official statistics for 2020, but I found one health official stating that in their county they hit 2019 totals by June.

There is a class of people called hikikomoris that somehow fall out of the work system for one reason or another, and because the companies there are terrible, and already will shun you and ruin you for small slights, they can't seem to manage to make it back in. So they become complete shut-ins and are forgotten by society. It's probably even worse during a pandemic, they'd feel more hopeless.

Then there's a bunch of people that are extremely lonely even with work, and without the outlet of going to work/restaurants/pachinko/whatever else it's not a surprise they'd fall into a depression.

Small businesses, like ramen shops, are suffering there with stupid policies, just like here. Some shop was closed because they started selling ramen burgers instead of ramen (it's easier to take-home), but it apparently was some vaguely-related transgression against their renting agreement to change their business (making a burger instead of soup). Ridiculous.

Suicide is hush-hush in the US. If you ever head of someone that simply "died" with no explanation, you can probably assume it was suicide.

I have heard that Japan has a history of calling things suicide when they don’t have a cause of death, almost by default. But its still a good observation.

The deep state, who, etc., want suicide to become a common thing. More sacrifices to their devil I'm sure

Breaking news: corona virus now causes seppuku!

Here's what to think about removing all knives in your house. You can easily spread butter with a spoon from now on. It's the new normal.
