Right I don’t know anyone extended friends or family or anyone around our neighborhood who has died from or even gotten Coof....but almost everyone I talk to knows 7 people died from it 🙄

When you do the math, this headline is a fantastic red pill.

80% of people haven't lost a loved one to covid-19. That means 275 MILLION Americans haven't lost anyone they love.

Think about that. No grandparents. No parents. No cousins. No friends. No business partners. No drinking buddies. No neighbors. Nothing

Think about how many people you are close with. Now multiply that by the entire population.

EIGHTY FUCKING PERCENT of those people don't even know anyone close that has died.

But I bet every single one of them knows someone who lost their job, or their house, or their life savings, or whose kids can't even go to school, or who had something they were looking forward to shut down, etc.

The new me too movement is....”I don’t know anyone who died of Covid.” “Me Too”

I work with a black female who lost two relatives (I think they were aunts) to what was claimed to be COVID and not even she believes the hype.

Bro.

There's no test for "covid". PCR tests have been proven as junk science and the inventor himself - who mysteriously died - said you can't use it to diagnose disease.

There's no way to prove anybody - black or white - has a predisposition to die from "it". there's no proof "covid" even exists except as a catch all term for flu/cold/etc.

I can invent a "disease x" right now.

It has the same symptoms as flu, cold, and pneumonia. I will now force hospitals to comply.

See how that works?

The medical field is EVIL. You ought to know this by now.

If not, learn it. Stop falling for bad logic and junk science.

After all, your'e pretending to be a doctor. Pretend to sound enlightened about the industry lol.

"black people tend to have worse outcomes"

dude this statement is not grounded in the reality that humans are 99.99% genetically identical. I hope we can all learn a valuable lesson in faking statistics and learn to think for ourselves.

don't skip genetics class, "doctor".

I keep meeting people who say they've had it and survived it. Bullshit. Why does everyone want to be a victim these days?

Because, as any minority group will tell you, there is money and power in victimhood in the US.

Literally no money or power in telling me you survived a fake virus.

Nobody wants to admit we fell for a scam this bogus, this stupid, this destructive, and this costly.

It's really stupid and embarrassing. I get it. I was blindsided for a little bit too.

People double down.

Go watch people start to lose money in a casino after thinking they're on a lucky streak or "needing" a lucky streak.

Lol. Will drain their wallets and go into debts for drugs and hookers.

Don't underestimate people's willingness to try to live in a false reality.

I want people to know, I'll forgive them the instant the move on. No lists. I'm only harsh on people to shake them out of their trance. This isn't ok. The crucifixion of logic and basic empiricism will hurt all of us.

It's a sad stupid moment in human history. I'm ready to admit it and move on.

"Survived" it.

Just say "Great. You and the other 99.8% of people who had it can get together and have a barbecue"

Don't let them be a victim and feel special. I "survive" respiratory diseases every couple of years.

This is a misleading stat, since most every person has extended family. A grandma dying is going to be a loved one to a lot of people in 3 or 4 generations, and old people are the most likely to die. This would be like asking if a loved one died within the last year. You'll get about the same share of the population.

Yep it’s true every family member of mine says they have 5 family member who died from the Coof which means my family died off sometime before the Civil War.

What the fuck kind of retarded pool is this?

All this process is that polls are made to shape opinion and can be made to say anything

Polls and statistics are so easily manipulated to get the results you want. You really should take them all wi5h a hrain of salt. Even the ones that confirm your own biases.

If 1 in 5 lost a loved one that way, way, way over the amount that have died, so someone is lying.

HuggableBear 4 points ago +4 / -0

Nah, it's the 6 degrees of separation effect.

One person dies, then they survey that person's children, grandchildren, siblings, cousins, close friends, etc, and you end up with 200 people saying yes on this poll from a single death.

1 in 5 people were TOLD they had a love one die from Covid....no one died from Covid.

I know no one who has died from it. I got it, My wife got it, my co-workers got it, and you know what, none of us missed a day of work. Aside from not being able to smell my boys stinky room for a couple of days, I would have never known anything was different.

I have known several people who died of "covid-19". Just to be clear, not a single one of them actually died of covid-19. We're talking multiple organ failure from terminal stage diabetes, terminal lymphoma, heart attack during end-stage congestive heart failure, that sort of thing.

zerocooltx 2 points ago +2 / -0

i know a few people who allegedly died from it. They were all in their late 70s or older. No one i know personally died. It's like bank loan officer's dad, coworkers mom(i work at a big company), etc.

1 out of 5 people were misinformed about the death of a loved one.

THERE EXISTS NO TEST NOR ISOLATE TO TEST FOR. THERE'S NO WAY TO PROVE ANYBODY WAS EITHER INFECTED OR DIED FROM COVIDOL-1984. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

Seriously. We fell for a hoax as stupid as pissgate.

They must finally be counting the NY Cuomo nursing home deaths.

That's not how statistics work. When one person knows hundreds or thousands of people there is tons of overlap. The Chinese Virus is bullshit, and so is this post.

Supposedly, I know at least 3 people. Coworker relatives.

However, they were all fat, old, otherwise unhealthy. Plus, all that's really happening is they're saying the flu pneumonia is covid... and everyone's also stuck home, which guess what! Holidays have the highest death rates from bad diet and poor choices and high stress... guess what all year's been like.

I'm just in brainwashed Seattle so consider Covid like the votes. It's not who gets the things, it's who reports on it/counts it.

Eg: 3 deaths, but 0 trust in the source that is telling me that it's covid. Flu and extended holiday stress are probably the real cause, even if it really was Covid... they'd probably survive without stress and with more exercise if we were allowed to go outside or to the gym or whatever without fucking with our oxygen intake (masks... which cause pneumonia themselves... almost as if the masks themselves are the real danger with it all).

Heck, maybe this is why Asia's used to handling pneumonia, bc they wear masks. Whoa, never thought of it until now. Thanks covid! I would've never made that correlation, or at least, possibility

I know 0 people who died from it. My grandpa had it, but the dementia got him first.

Math doesn't check out. It assumes that each person surveyed didn't know the same person who died.

1
Right0hio [S] 1 point ago +1 / -0

Yes, but even assuming massive overlap, that still means for every person who died (allowing that 500,000 is reality) there were 124 unique people that considered that one death victim a "loved one"

1
Independenceforever 1 point ago +1 / -0

the math of people lying seems to account for the statistic based on opinionated hearsay by people who have no way to know what "proof" of a cause of death is.
