Don't pay attention to cases. They're irrelevant. The death count has been flat line since late June.

Shouldn’t pay attention to deaths considering what is counted as Covid death - ie any death where a person tested positive for Covid in the last 30-60 days or maybe even longer. And the tests are super sensitive in the US - even NYT has reported on this. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/29/health/coronavirus-testing.html

(DuckDuckGo Covid test cycle threshold 35)

They don't even need a test. Just having symptoms (like a fever) is enough for doctors to include "Covid-19" as a cause of death. Not to mention the hospitals get financial incentives to do so.

Just take the CDC number and apply 6%.

16k deaths in 9 months.

I want to fight for the families who are getting screwed out of AD&D and other insurance payouts because the death certificate is filled out incorrectly for covid instead of what actually occurred.

The death count has been flat line steadily declining since late June.

Yea cases don't mean shit. Especially when the tests are basically 50/50 for anyone.

In fact we're finding that deaths don't really mean shit, as many predicted, because anyone with a cough can be diagnosed as covid+ with/without a test, so if they die, that's a covid death.

I guess that's why overall deaths haven't increased in places with "the WoRsT CoViD PoLiCiEs!!1!"

AZ has 7 deaths / day. This is so minute, that its laughable how people fear for their lives over this. The average age of death is 82 with 95% of them having a per-existing condition.

The actual death count is 6% of what's reported. Run the numbers and you end up with 63 deaths in the US per day.

One person, per state, per day.
