Reality Check Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 36 minutes ago, Kemp said: Didn't realize you really thought Bill Gates was engineering the pandemic. I knew some Trumpsters believed it, though. Now you are projecting. Why are you afraid to take the vaccines? At the very least make sure your children get vaccinated. Don't let your own bad decisions hurt your children's future. I personally guarantee that nothing will go wrong.? You lack faith. I will pray for you.

They could have come out and said "we bad" blamed it on a bat (while the whole world knew they were lying) but taken ownership with a "mistakes happen." Instead of saving face, they look worse than a five year old boy blaming his older sister for breaking the window while a pile of rocks sits at his feet. They may be able to pay the "msm" to lie for them and blame the Wuhan Virus on Canada or the United States, but the whole world knows it was China, and most importantly, the leadership of the countries that were most impacted know it was China. Does that mean China pays a price? We will see. It may just mean they have to pay more payola to world leaders and "msm." Or, it means they really will pay an economic price. Certainly no one in their right mind could ever believe another word that comes out of Beijing (if they ever did to being with). We talking Trump or China?

Those are the deaths that have been decreasing. You don't think there is an increase in stress on millions of Americans who are on lockdown, being told everyday that they could die from this virus, or who lost their jobs and are in trouble, financially? I'm sorry, this idea that Covid deaths are being under reported isn't supported by the numbers or by official statements of how they are being counted. 2 3

I have not seen the same evidence from cancer deaths decreasing. Yea, I am not buying that at all.

If you want to believe that the absence of a decrease in all other deaths because of a lockdown means Covid deaths are being underreported, be my guest. The overwhelming majority of information does not support that conclusion. 16 minutes ago, Kemp said: Some people have not a clue. They make things up, just like their master.

Boatdrinks Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 So heart attacks and stroke deaths have gone down dramatically because folks are sitting on their collective arse? Who knew? Car crashes have probably gone down precipitously as well. Wouldn’t have thought that sloth and being shut in all day were great for heart disease, but maybe we’re onto something with the lockdowns. If they were continued for a year, think of how many lives could be saved ! An area in South Florida reported they had no murders over a 15 day period , so we can reduce crime too. Seriously, though who in their right mind thinks that Covid 19 deaths are being undercounted ? Sound like leftist drivel, kind of like their Corona models that didn’t materialize. Meanwhile, in NY the Covid body count multiplies - Medicaid pays hospitals over twice the rate for Covid deaths as it does for any other cause. Something doesn’t quite add up, but we’re not undercounting Covid deaths. Doesn’t the left argue that the US has the worst numbers in the world with regards to the Wuhan virus ? Now the numbers don’t support continuing lockdowns, so we must be undercounting the death rate; ridiculous. 5

Reopening has to happen, and quickly, but the virus will be there and case counts will go up along with deaths when we do.
3rdnlng Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 The hospitals are hurting for money due to the shutdown of elective surgeries. After all, that is their money tree that supports the normal Medicare/Medicaid patients that they don't make a profit on. With the feds giving out a standard $13,000 for each Covid-19 death and a cool $39,000 if they were on a ventilator I can see where the cause of death is fudged. As it stands, every possible death that can be attributed to the virus is going to be done so. Therefore the death totals for Covid-19 are going to be magnified. 4 2
