What people seem to forget is that EVERYTHING you’ve ever done, known, or experienced was done in a world that’s already been through countless health crises in the past. The problem is that virtually nobody alive has experienced a pandemic before. Professional sports? Pretty much all post pandemic. Public education? Pretty much post pandemic. General elections? Pretty much post pandemic. And yet....we were all doing all of that just six months ago without living in media stoked fear.

Thanks, this demonstrates my point. When this all took off back in March, I did some rudimentary searches in America’s death rate. What I found is that with modern medical advancements almost NOBODY under 50 dies in America except for accidentally. There’s ‘some’ early childhood disease but once you get past year one or two you’re pretty much good to go. Nobody even thinks about it! This pandemic, stoked by the media jackals, is no exception. You STILL have almost zero chance of dying from this virus.....and yet.

He'll let up on the reigns on the first Wednesday after the first Monday in November, after a brutal lockdown in October, for our protection.

 

Because Il Douche cares.

Will the 32,000 NYS corona-dead even make a blip on that graph?

Great news!

 

 

[Magox]

A sobering analysis of the excess deaths that the stringent social distancing measures are causing.  It goes back to previous discussions we've had on excess deaths and how it's very likely that the Years Lost will be higher among people who indirectly died from COVID stringent measures as the Years lost to people who directly died from COVID.

 

What a complete cluster $%#% .   Just shows you that policy makers are morons.

If we are indeed at 10x more infected then diagnosed (actual infections), as per the CDC, we are at around 60 million. 

 

That puts the death rate (IFR) at 0.29.  And that has been a conservative estimate we could easily be at 80 to 90 million infected.  Florida thinks 1 out of every 4 people has or had it.  That number doesn't include those with already built up immunity.  

 

 

Per Prof. Levitt....as I and others have pointed out here a dozen times....his theory that 20% infected (60 to 70 million) and 500 deaths per million, the pandemic ends.  We've hit those metrics.  Even Doctor Bill Gates thinks that's the number.  

 

Hospitals never overwhelmed.  Barely stressed.  Everyone got care.  When we had no idea how to treat or deal with it.  The Southern and Western States that never really locked down and then supposedly reopened "too soon" just showed how to best deal with it and more importantly that we can.  How many lives would have been saved in the NE if they knew then what we know now?

 

Are we at under 120K dead?  Most likely.  This is the reporting they should be giving us.  

 

Time to move the freak on.

We've seen by far the worst of the virus.

 

First wave was the worst, this last one was considerably less deadly.  Now it's highly likely that this will make new lows in the coming months and we'll probably get one more wave and it will be considerably less deadly than the one we just went through.  Most likely it will hit some Northern and Midwestern cities, including San Francisco.  But since a level of immunity has already been reached in some of them and they are not quite as large population wise along with even better therapeutics, I don't anticipate us hitting above 700 deaths per day (7 day moving average) during the fall or winter.  

 

Who knows?  But that's my guess.

...are they writing a "Covid-19 Handbook" like Big Fredo as well?.....Biggie Fry promulgated the "Covid-19 Gateway to The Entire US".......8,000 Chinese nationals passed through NYC AFTER the travel ban UNCHECKED.......his reported (COUGH) 6,000 nursing home deaths ONLY includes those who "died on nursing home soil"....the other purported 5,000+ who were transferred FROM nursing homes TO hospitals where they eventually passed DO NOT COUNT...and yet the NYS new "Teflon Don" usurped his 100+ daily press briefings free of charge to advertise for his 2024 presidential run......

"Shut it all down, I had a fever."  I wonder who he's voting for.

..once Big Fredo's "Covid-19 Handbook" hits the shelves in you local 7-Eleven, we'll be just fine....

That's what I'm thinking as well.

Are we still debating the "Euro-Virus" as Governor Cuomo called it the other night or are we onto another virus now? I've lost track of what we're allowed to say and not say.

...so the study identifies the indirect effects of the lock downs/quarantine measure.......hardly reported by MSM....shocking right?......we have had real life suicide cases identified here by TBD'ers....I've talked to people who had life altering experiences PRIOR TO Covid-19 who find their normal routines being more difficult because of Covid-19 and not because of mandated safety and recommended precautions....they were learning to cope with life altering experiences but this has added another level of complexity to deal with........

THAT’S GOOD, BECAUSE I DON’T SEE A LOT OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC COMPLYING: 

 

Fauci says he does not see US mandating COVID-19 vaccination for general public.
