'My' title is the title of the article from Technocracy News, verbatim. Please share with us the figures you wish us to know.

Ok here it is. It's not easy to find btw.

https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Death-Counts-by-Sex-Age-and-S/9bhg-hcku/data

I'm not sure if that link works so I will test it after I post. But it's the provisional covid-19 deaths by age and gender up to 8/1/20

Look at the line for all ages. At this posting time it's

08/01/2020 United States All All Ages 142,164 covid deaths 150,095 pneumonia deaths 6,592 influenza deaths

Unless it's a typo, after thinking about this I have two conclusions:

  1. the mitigation efforts drastically lowered influenze from spreading and killing people
  2. people died of the flu but it was classfified as something else, perhaps covid.

I suspect it's somewhat both.

Of course, there is always the possibility of fake data.

Good grab. Worthy of archiving: https://archive.is/n5FEU

Also worth mentioning is that hospitals are being renumerated in the amount of $13,000 for a Covid diagnosis, and $39,000 to put the patient on a ventilator. With those kinds of incentives plus a lack of conscience, one can see one of the forces driving the numbers up.

Covid patients do cost more to take care of, so they should be reimbursed higher. But you are right, it will give any cash strapped hospital, which means pretty much every single hospital, high motivation to test patients and get that funding with a covid diagnosis. In hindsight I supppose they could have just increased funding in general with hospitals based on bed use. It would have cost more though, and the the covid narrative would have still been used anway.

War crimes and crimes against humanity, not to mention genocide and senicide.

I'm well aware that this sounds hyperbolic. Only time will tell. History may prove me wrong. The nurse featured in the following video is merely one of the hundreds of medical professionals to whom I am listening:
