The other dude is right, if you lie about one thing you lose credibility with the rest

I don’t get it. Folks here were fighting for the right to gather in churches saying that taking said right away was unconstitutional.

Is it only dumb when muslims do it? Seems lately I just get mass downvoted but I’d really like a proper explanation of why this is low IQ vs what every other thread here is fighting for.

Yea I agree the mass grave thing is fake news. We all have our blind spots.

According to this data, towards the end of the data set at 4th of April, there were approximately 4 thousand deaths in a time frame of 2 weeks, it’s not fair to count the 4K deaths as the annual total because coronavirus had not started spreading fully until later which is why all the deaths are concentrated in a fortnight span.

Now, those deaths are despite lockdown.

If we assume 4K deaths every fortnight, that’s over 100k per year despite lockdown vs 61k for the year for the flu with no lockdown.

If coronavirus’s death rate is potentially double the flu but can achieve this through a lock down, that’s a substantial problem and it is magnitudes worse than the flu.

I’m curious to hear how you spin these numbers. Are you going to just say 61k vs 6k for the year? That’s a very unintelligent way to look at those numbers, there is no point including earlier months with zero deaths when the virus had not properly come to the US yet.

I used your own data and I’m more convinced now that I’m correct.

You’re right by all logical standards but you are disagreeing with the mainstream narrative around here so you’re being downvoted like me.

Of all the replies, no one has actually addressed how bad it is that the numbers are similar to the flu despite being achieved in a lockdown period, meaning this is severely worse than the flu.

But hey, they BTFO’d me on the mass grave thing so that magically invalidates everything I have to say.

So if it’s way more infectious, that still makes it a much larger problem than the flu. Your answer seems to validate what I’m saying, but I’m massively downvoted because I cited a mass grave example that turns out to be incorrect.

Okay, that doesn’t address the rest of what I said does it though??

I know this probably isn’t a popular opinion but I don’t agree with the assessment that this is like or less severe than the flu.

They weren’t digging mass graves in New York for the Flu. What’s the go there? What about China’s furnaces working overtime according to satellite images, that doesn’t usually happen.

I don’t think it’s as bad as reported, but to say it’s like the flu isn’t a smart take when the world is on lockdown. Flu mortality rates would be much much lower if we had lockdowns in previous years.

If Wuhan Virus has the same mortality rate under lockdown as the flu does when not under lockdown, that makes Wuhan virus magnitudes worse.

We can’t reject one false narrative and replace it with an equally false narrative.

Edit: -11 downvotes because my mass grave example was incorrect. No one sufficiently rebutted the premise of what I said. I don’t get why you guys left reddit only to behave just as zealously as r/politics. My friend tried to sell this place as a haven for discussion but it seems people are dying to bring you down for a minor mistake even when they can’t be bothered putting in the effort to make any sort of sound counter argument. Well my time on this site just started and I think I’m done here. Guess I’ll have to MAGA alone, good luck with the website guys.
