I follow the"money" and found this
[QUOTE=SkyHighBuilder;5330861]This whole thing is about Power and Control. The WHO was a floundering, corrupt, almost nothing organization until Covid19. And the "Global death toll" is a farce. There are 2 words that you never here in this discussion, "Of" and "With"! I will grant you that hundreds of thousands of people have died "WITH" Covid19 but I guarantee you that that number is a minor percent when you say that they died "OF" Covid19.
It is a Fact that healthcare providers get more money for documenting Covid19 deaths. The other side is the control over populations that the virus gives the power hungry. Fear is another limiting factor that causes self imposed limits on group gatherings and there for less personal interaction and face to face information exchanges.
Our entire election system was thrown for a loop because of it and it continues to effect our lives now. The homeless population here is going to rise, there are already more people living in motels and with someone else who had their own stuff last year. People have lost their businesses and livelihoods through this "Pandemic".
Why are states like Texas and Florida with their "Open Society" approaches seeing less cases and states like Michigan with their "Closed Society" reporting more?
I believe it has much more to do with Money, Power and Control than most are willing to say. But I know a lot are thinking it by now (Even if you didn't in the beginning).
Here it is from the CDC (right now at 5:45 am 5/2/21) by the numbers:
Right now on the CDC website the numbers as reported from 1/4/20 - 4/25/21 are that 621,730 deaths have occurred overall (these are NOT Covid19 but the total number of deaths in the US over that period). They also state that the total number of Death Certificates reporting Covid19 as the cause of death is 557,486. Follow the numbers below and they just don't add up.
Of those, the following Comorbidities are listed; 45.9% (254,384) had Influenza & Pneumonia, 19.8% (109,768) Hypertension, 16% (88,925) Diabetes, 13.5% (75,194) Alzheimer and other Dementia & 9. 5%. (52,986) Sepsis. If you remove the Alzheimer / Dementia category (may not be an actual health issue but more mental, you get 506,063 total deaths and subtract the total from above and you end up with 115,667 deaths that COULD be the total deaths OF Covid19 over 16 months in the US. If you divide the number by 16 you end up with 7,229 monthly deaths and that my friends is nothing more than the normal INFLUENZA deaths we get annually in the United States.
To break it down even further: 80.2% are over 65,17. 2% are between 45 - 64 and only 2. 6% of the total deaths reported are under 45. When you get down to the younger groups it drops dramatically. SO WHY all the fuss over numbers like these? You tell me!
Just sayin' .[/QUOTE]WHO has nothing to do with the CDC data I mentioned for 2020 a few posts ago.
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2778234
You do not include the link for the CDC website page where you claim to get your figures from but 621,730 deaths for the 477 day period is contradicted by the data I posted where close to 2. 7-2. 9 million Americans die every 365 days.
However its also just blatantly implausible from an actuarial standpoint. There are 331 million Americans. If the age pyramid was a perfect column you'd expect 1/79 Americans to die every year, equal to the life expectancy. Since it isn't a column and there are more young than old, it was about 1/114 in 2019 and even Covid-19 could only push it down to 1/99. His purported figure implies 475747 dead a year, which implies 1/696 Americans die each year. That's just mathematically impossible unless the vast majority of Americans are youth (not true) or they live to be over half a millennium old (not true).
Finally even if you were willing to accept "they were sickly elderly on their way out, who cares if we let them out a little early and more painfully" the death toll belies the true impact of Covid-19. The long-term effects of Covid-19 are unknown for obvious reasons, but given hospitalization rates I wouldn't be surprised if it was in the millions. Millions of Americans will likely suffer permanent negative effects from Covid-19, millions more will be affected by their relations to those permanently debilitated or dead. All for a disease that could've been stopped or at least minimized by competent effort as numerous countries around the world have proven able to do.
Then you have the economic damage. Trump's too little too late approach to lockdowns, far from saving the American economy, instead ensured that it would stay closed longer. The more people were getting sick, the more people chose to stay home, no matter how "open" Trump insisted on things officially being. If the administration had instead just accepted that things would be bad for a bit and had an early and overwhelming lockdown, it would've saved months of scared-consumer-enforced quasi-lockdowns. Once again there are dozens of countries around the world that were able to safely reboot their economy sooner. Trillions in avoidable damages, which in a capitalist scarcity society equals even more dead.
I might add that the biggest enabler of the WHO was Donald Trump. Before him, the WHO kinda followed the CDC's lead, because they're the well funded health apparatus of the global superpower. Trump's "have the federal government do nothing and let God sort them out" approach to pandemic management meant that the WHO was forced to take the lead where they otherwise would not have, just as the states were forced to get their own tests and vaccinations and everything without assistance or facing outright sabotage.
Also some death counts relative to prior years for American locations

Chart after chart after chart shows the same story, of daily deaths from all-causes in countries suddenly spiking dramatically from historic norms without explanation, at exactly the periods Covid-19 waves were hitting those nations, with the only exceptions being nations that successfully largely managed Covid-19 like South Korea, Norway, or Germany. Unless you decide to just regard all death data from any country anywhere, data that comes from tons of different sources around the world to be garbage you need to have an explanation as to why daily deaths were dramatically higher in nations around the world at exactly the points Covid-19 was most feverish but somehow be unrelated to Covid-19 entirely.
Shooting yourself in the foot.
If you're one of those assholes whose been trying to actually defend the pompous orange turd who LOST the election FAIR and SQUARE, or who has contributed to the perpetuation of the lies and conspiracy theories about COVID that have led to the death of well over half a million people (of which over half would still be alive if not for the ineptitude coming from the White House. Then don't ask me for information OR expect to be invited to any of my events. You've shown your asses right here for all to see. I always tell ladies that I'll only connect them with guys I can vouch for. I refuse to vouch for brain dead idiots.
Let's see where the AZ election audit winds up

All the lockdowns did was cost a lot of money
[QUOTE=TheRabbit;5333933]Yes they did we have the numbers proving so.
Yeah that's in part why we are having these lockdowns to protect the vulnerable from this virus such as the elderly and other reason is there are life long health of getting COVID-19 regardless of age.
You have no proof of this.
Again no proof and you seem to be ignoring the basic fact these people would still be alive if they did not catch COVID-19.
There's actually a good reason for this coffins are expensive and are made for show at funerals which most people couldn't have due to the lockdowns.[/QUOTE]Here is a link showing the lockdowns and masks did nothing. Want additional proof? Why are infections and deaths higher in lockdown NJ and NY then open Georgia and Florida?
