The comments in the thread are picture perfect examples of people not knowing wtf they are talking about. They keep quoting HuffPo and articles from CDC about "excess death" counts, conveniently ignoring the fact that the actual number of deaths in 2020 is roughly the same as it was in 2019. They don't even question it.

Every human death that has ever occurred was caused by covid-19; it's just that we hadn't discovered the virus yet and thus kept mistakenly identifying causes of death as things like "gunshot wounds", "asphyxiation", "decapitation", or "old age".

We now understand that all of these poor, misdiagnosed people actually died from the magical super-virus, and they would have survived if only they had known to wear face masks! (with the possible exception of the decapitated people; it's not yet clear whether or not the face still has to be attached to the body in order for a face mask to protect that body from covid)
