Death by Corona Explodes to 61!

[Cypress]

Actually, it’s probably well over 200,000 deaths. This article talks about deaths in excess of normal. Those excessive deaths have followed the wave of COVID across the country almost exactly. And it was written a couple weeks ago. The bottom line is that the current 180,000 is a substantial undercount.

You know what is really weird?
The exact same people who said invading Iraq was going to be a great idea and a cake walk, are the exact same people who said COVID was no worse than the common cold, and any talk of it being a major public health risk to the nation was a Democratic hoax.

Another double standard. The people that are bitching about being refused service because they want to be maskless are the exact same people who demand that business should be able to refuse service to anyone.

In the five months since Darth Omar was giggling about only 61 deaths, over 185,000 Americans have died.

In the five months since Darth Omar was giggling about only 61 deaths, over 190,000 Americans have died.

Largely due the the inept response by TrumpCo. about 160,000 Americans have died in the 18 weeks since the thread author was chuckling about only 61 deaths

Debunked in my sig.

Without singling anyone out, there were a lot of Deplorables asserting that this was no different than the common cold,

It is a mild flu.

that it was a Democratic hoax,

The fear mongering surrounding this mild flu IS a Democrat hoax.

that it would probably dissapear like a miracle when the weather got warm.

It did. A positive test result is not an infection (a "case").

By election day, projections are that more than 200,000 Americans will have died seven months after the thread author was chuckling about only 61 deaths

It's basically no worse than the common cold

It is a mild flu.

Hello domer76,

Another double standard. The people that are bitching about being refused service because they want to be maskless are the exact same people who demand that business should be able to refuse service to anyone.

NAILED IT!

I have said something similar and here the fuck I am. How many people died from the flu last year? Is whatever number you can provide a 100% absolutely accurate number? What might that number be if we had give the flu the same attention every year that we have given to covid? You dumb fucking pricks say the most stupid shit.

If we administered as many tests for the common flu as we did for COVID-19, and counted any little presence of common flu viruses in the nasal cavities as a "case" (infected with the common flu), you'd see numbers much higher than you are seeing for COVID-19...

A bit of COVID-19 in one's nasal cavities is NOT a "case"... it is NOT an infection. All of these supposed "asymptomatic" "cases" are in actuality NOT cases at all, as no infection has occurred.

It is clearly a hoax to boost numbers to fear monger to gain compliance and control/power over people and their day to day activities.

Of course there isn't an accurate number for the flu. It is based on estimates from the death rates during flu season compared to death rates not during flu season. It is easy to look at how many people die per month. CDC keeps those records. During flu season the deaths per month go up by about 10,000 - 15,000 compared to other months. They then estimate that most of those deaths are likely the result of flu since there is no other reason to see such a large increase.

The problem you have with your willful ignorance is when you look at the current deaths per month compared to previous years, it would seem that Covid deaths are likely being undercounted by about 10,000 to 15,000 per month since the current deaths are that much above previous time periods even after you subtract the deaths attributed to Covid. As of July 31, we have about 180,000 more deaths than the average of the previous 3 years and that is with many of those deaths not yet submitted to CDC to be counted.


I am open to hearing your rational explanation for why there are so many excess deaths since you don't think they are the result of Covid. Is there another disease? Are we under constant attack by terrorists? Are Democrats committing suicide at a great rate in order to make Trump look bad? What is your explanation?

See my 'debunked' signature and my 'cult of the mask' signature for the answers to your questions.

It is a mild flu.

Such self-delusion. You are wrong. Not only are the fatalities at rates far beyond the flu but there are long term effects that linger for who knows how long. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-...%20few%20weeks. This is a "novel" virus. We are still learning about it. Its long term effects are very worrisome.

Not to mention coronavirus isn't the same as a flu virus.

INT/IBDa/gfm are either displaying an ignorance of science or lying. I suspect both.

What is the difference between Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19?
Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. COVID-19 is caused by infection with a new coronavirus (called SARS-CoV-2) and flu is caused by infection with influenza viruses. Because some of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar, it may be hard to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone, and testing may be needed to help confirm a diagnosis. Flu and COVID-19 share many characteristics, but there are some key differences between the two.

Proving both that Darth knows very little about the medical sciences and that he's flippant about the deaths of over 190,000 Americans.
