3% case fatality rate vs 10%.


Just kidding, 94% of those deaths had serious comorbidities like heart attacks.

The comorbidities argument is unconvincing. Whether Covid19 killed directly, or co-killed people, we know from the CDC's excess deaths count that 200,000 more people are dead than usual for this time of year.

Correct. And while both of those categories are increasing significantly over prior years, they don't even get into the ballpark of explaining 200,000.

this is kinda funny to me based on a coworkers comments.

basically said "these death counts are BS, they're counting people that had other stuff in too......(later)......and no one's talking about all of the suicides happening because people are stuck inside".

oh so underlying conditions dont count for covid, but a depressed person is stuck in side and likely was already teetering on suicide but you blame their death 100% on a governors stay at home order? lol

With unemployment rates above ten percent it is virtually guaranteed.

Covid + unemployment rates + pre-existing depression + lack of savings = covid + obesity + pre-diabetes + vitamin deficiency

The most tragic mishap of USA public covid policy is the dysgenic ecology of it imo.

The strongest weapon we have to fight this virus is the human immune system, however all of the steps we have taken will weaken the collective gene pool/immune system of the population over time. This in my opinion is the worst effect of the masking mandates. We wont see the negative impacts for at least 10-20 years, but they will be devastating. We are slowly breeding a population with weak immune systems, the same as how welfare/divorce/abortion created a permanent slavish underclass of single moms.
