Can confirm. If you read the breakdown of the funding almost all of it is allocated domestically.

could instantly tell OP was lying/misinformed from 9%. nearly 20-25% of the bill is going directly to the people, is it not? Still tons of pork but this is just as bad as when people claim "0.02% death rate" for covid when it's really 2%. We can't win with false statistics.

500k deaths / 330M people = 0.2% dead in one year.

under 65 years old: 80k / 330M = 0.024% under 45 years old: 12k / 330M = 0.0036%

Yeah but that is also misleading statistics. Ebola killed most people it infected, but because it only infected some 20k people, using statistics like you did here, it would be a virtually nonexistent death rate so you wouldn't be afraid of it even though there would flat out be a 50% chance you die if you get it.

The official scenario here, ~30 million infections, 500k deaths is a 1.6% death rate, but we know many deaths are not covid deaths, and the infection rate is impossible to figure out because of how bad the metrics they use to count infections is. No numbers we can use are accurate.

By design. I emailed all 50 head state epidemiologists early on and they were forbidden to make their own accurate test kits by the fda. Hmm wonder why?

Good point. Ebola is lethal but insignificant. Any person saying we should close down the country because of ebola with a 50% mortality rate is a retard. Likewise if you have a 2% mortality, only among 65+ year olds, of those that were tested because of severe symptoms, after the first and largest outbreak had passed without random sampling testing or mass testing and disregarding the fact that every single country has a different cases/deaths rate.

Something interesting: cdc reports each year some 3 - 11 % of people get the flu, thats 30mil people at thr high end. Exactly the amount of covid cases. We also know that the flu is mostly absent past year. So covid is 2020s flu. How severe is this flu? Looking at excess mortalities of various countries. Its about 10% higher overall deaths than normal. So instead of 0.9% of people dying each year in the usa, this year it was 1%.

Now the question remains, how many did the lockdown save? Doubling of deaths, e.g 0,1% of total population? Or only a portion like lets say a quarter more deaths without the lockdown (125k extra dead)? Which is 0.025% dead, saved because of the lockdown. Lets not forget that the lockdown only slows the spread, it does not stop it. What is the mortality from 2t debt, mass bankruptcy, unemployment, no sunlight, reduced oxygen from masks, delayed surgeries, record liquor sales, and social isolation?

Global average death rate is 2%, or 0.02. Not 0.02% or any other incorrect variation.

US death rate is currently 1.8% or 0.018.

It's the use of % that seems to confuse most on here
