0-19 years: 99.997% survival rate
20-49 years: 99.98% survival rate
50-69 years: 99.5% survival rate
70+ years: 94.6% survival rate
Good thing our country was pushed to the brink of economic collapse and people are still jobless and still dealing with mandatory mask requirements... And oh heavens! Think of the children! Why by ruining their childhoods we can save three ten-thousandths of one percent of them!!! And if we turn a blind eye to the rising suicide rates, we can all pat our local politicians on the back and thank them for a job well done.
As the old saying goes... "Give me liberty or give me death (unless there's like a 0.02% chance of dying from a virus then take away my liberty)"
always said and thought that this covid creation by the democrat socialist and Marxist is and was a fake established to destroy this country, now we have the proof, again!
I think it has more to do with how the data is presented. For instance these two statements are technically the same: 99.5% of people will survive COVID-19.
Over one million six hundred thousand people expected to die of COVID-19 in the US!!!
Obviously the first approach doesn't sound that bad while the second could induce fear and panic to those that hear it. While I do think that even these numbers are low and that the actual survival rates are even higher that what the CDC is admitting to, I think that the democrats are playing a dangerous game to focus only on portraying this situation is as bleak terms as possible to stoke fear and division in Americans in an attempt to sway the election (or set Trump up for yet another impeachment attempt should he win re-election).
So all that to say, I half agree with you. The democrats are trying to destroy the country, and the fear and hysteria are their creations to further their agendas but at the same time I'd simply interject the caveat that there is a real virus that they are capitalizing off of. (Which in one sense is almost worse when you think about it... - "Hey 200,000 people are dead! This is perfect! We can use this to reshape America into our image!" - A hoax in my mind would almost be more forgivable than the opportunistic celebration and power grabbing over the fresh corpses of the innocent. Talk about psychopaths...)
@Drenathor They are indeed psychopaths!!
What the politicians, WHO, CDC, local health departments and Neil Ferguson has done to our country is disgraceful. How will this end? Are we, the Americans who have lived free, doomed for the rest of our lives? Which elected ones will help the American people? For now, I have seen very few step up and it's a sad state of affairs we are forced to live in. The people who believe this covid garbage are chanting to keep things shut down and for all to wear masks. It's a nightmare and we cannot seem to wake up enough people to make it go away. 😥
What is worse, is that they keep reporting infections, especially higher infections. But infections do not equal deaths. Those are totally different numbers.
The added problem of these numbers are when the CDC changed the coding. With the symptoms being the same of so many other illnesses, they made the assumption that it was the virus. Those numbers are still part of their numbers game. We have access to the NAME list - and several pathologists have mentioned being pressured to write covid on death certificates. Some in Colorado have refused - we know of deaths the hospitals had told the pathologists to write as covid - these deaths were tested and they turned out to be Hantavirus, Swine flu and the Bird flu. People think those viruses are gone - and they think that covid will be gone with a simple vaccination - that's not how this works.
Yeah and with all the fraud taking place on that front it's anyones guess as to what the real picture is. One of my parent's friends got a letter in the mail saying the tested positive for COVID-19 after they signed up for testing and then decided to not show up. And my best friend's boss's kid tested positive despite not being tested either.
Obviously it's anecdotal "friend of a friend" info, but in addition to people I know sharing these stories I've seen a TON of people sharing similar things online along with reports of unused tests testing positive, articles saying that upwards of 90% of positive results may be wrong, glasses of water testing positive for the virus and so on. This whole thing has just become an absolute mess...
@Drenathor When Herman Cain died his family had put out a statement that his cancer had come back and he had been treated for cancer. Now you cannot find this story - it's all that he died from covid. His immune system was compromised to begin with. There are a few stories stating he had been put on a ventilator. Many patients who were put on a ventilator died. We can never rely on these numbers and obviously the CDC are made up of paid manipulators. I looked at the donors for the CDC in 2019 - and the list is insane.
SHOCK REPORT: This Week CDC Quietly Updated COVID-19 Numbers – Only 9,210 Americans Died From COVID-19 Alone – Rest Had Different Other Serious Illnesses
> https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/08/shock-report-week-cdc-quietly-updated-covid-19-numbers-9210-americans-died-covid-19-alone-rest-serious-illnesses/
Yeah I saw a similar article a while back. I'm a bit confused though as to why people thought this was new info as the CDC has been reporting that stat since May (although initially it was a bit higher at 7%) and the 6% figure was published back on June 9th.
Obviously some of the comorbidities are serious things that call into question the means of death but other comorbidities likely had nothing to do with the death (like tooth decay and depression). It's good that people are looking into this but I think it's a bit too surface level to be helpful in any real way and to make better sense of the data we'd likely need more info that what the CDC is willing to share.
Things disappearing from the web is one of the reasons we get the PRINTED Epoch times and take screen shots of stories.
Wish I would have thought of that on the Herman Cain article. Live and learn!
I just signed up for the Epoch times recently and got my second edition. Sadly I don't have time to read all of it before the next issue arrives but I love it so far.
Glad I finally took the plunge and decided to give it a try after all those youTube ads telling me to sign up :P
One article:
Would Herman Cain Have Survived COVID-19 Had He Been Given HCQ?
> https://c-vine.com/blog/2020/07/30/stage-4-cancer-survivor-herman-cain-dies-tests-positive-for-covid/
Another.
But wondering...was he on some drugs or otherwise weakened such that he was a HIGH risk?
Herman Cain Died of COVID-19, Not Cancer
> https://www.factcheck.org/2020/07/herman-cain-died-of-covid-19-not-cancer/
Who knows for sure - just wished I would have saved that first article that stated his cancer had come back. Cannot find it anywhere now. Just goes to show, they are manipulating what is being seen.
I get the impression you're a bit fed up with all this insanity. I hear you. I've been fed up and frustrated about it for months. Perhaps it's an integrity thing that I expect the media to engage in truthful, accurate, unbiased reporting, even though they haven't done that in decades (if ever, really). Everytime I watch now, I think about the movie "His Girl Friday" starring Cary Grant, which is a commentary on yellow journalism. The movie was recommended to me years ago by one of my college professors who taught a course unironically titled "Ethics in Journalism."
On an up note, the Michigan Supreme Court declared Gov. Whitmer's orders unconstitutional. On a down note, they're about 6 months late as the devastation has already been wrought. And apparently because our elected officials are protected by sovereign immunity making them pay for the harm they've caused seems like a long shot. Rather than defund the police, I think we should be advocating for defunding Congress and our state legislators or at least remove the sovereign immunity protection. We absolutely need to severely limit the police/emergency powers of our governors and mayors.
I have had that movie on my list to watch for a while, and I will get to it. That is more of a winter time thing, when I am limited in outside activities.
