“A post now circulating on social media suggests the number of deaths in the United States in 2020 will be lower than the nation’s total death count in previous years – despite a pandemic that has already killed nearly 250,000 Americans.”
Here is the truth from the research:
"Remember, the calculation was based on rates recorded prior to November. Because of rapidly rising COVID-19 cases and deaths throughout the United States this month, it is very possible the final death numbers – when fully reported – will be even higher.
"In case you’re wondering, based on the CDC’s raw weekly data, the U.S. is on pace to record approximately 235,000 more deaths this year than in 2019. The number of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. currently stands at around 247,000.
So based on current government data, reports that the United States is on course to record fewer total deaths in 2020 than in previous years – despite a raging pandemic – are actually false."
not long now when the live in fear cult will be the only morons wearing face muzzles while the common sense Patriots will continue to live free and prosper under a Trump second term
Extreme Pressure… Political Pressure Polly not scientific pressure. Very few scientists are pushing masks, it is the media and those brought up on participation trophies. Bunch of spineless leaders too scared to stand their ground. Let the American People decide
Fake news and uneducated opinions drive the Drumpf loyalists… They are little people who need a leader to tell them what to think… Drumpf has brainwashed them into good little servants of his Anti-American agenda… Drumpf is the Antichrist and Satan awaits his loyal followers with open arms…
The little Drumpf loyalist are very scared to wear a mask because that way Drumpf won’t know through facial recognition they are his loyalist… They are worried for their life if they aren’t loyal to Drumpf’s every command and that they will end up on the Federal execution list for betraying him…
Daddy the Democrat wouldn’t approve of his name sake little son…
Data regarding the “real-world” effectiveness of community masking are limited to observational and epidemiological studies.
An investigation of a high-exposure event, in which 2 symptomatically ill hair stylists interacted for an average of 15 minutes with each of 139 clients during an 8-day period, found that none of the 67 clients who subsequently consented to an interview and testing developed infection. The stylists and all clients universally wore masks in the salon as required by local ordinance and company policy at the time.32
In a study of 124 Beijing households with > 1 laboratory-confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 infection, mask use by the index patient and family contacts before the index patient developed symptoms reduced secondary transmission within the households by 79%.33
A retrospective case-control study from Thailand documented that, among more than 1,000 persons interviewed as part of contact tracing investigations, those who reported having always worn a mask during high-risk exposures experienced a greater than 70% reduced risk of acquiring infection compared with persons who did not wear masks under these circumstances.34
A study of an outbreak aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt, an environment notable for congregate living quarters and close working environments, found that use of face coverings on-board was associated with a 70% reduced risk.35
Investigations involving infected passengers aboard flights longer than 10 hours strongly suggest that masking prevented in-flight transmissions, as demonstrated by the absence of infection developing in other passengers and crew in the 14 days following exposure.
Seven studies have confirmed the benefit of universal masking in community level analyses: in a unified hospital system,38 a German city,39 a U.S. state,4
When are you ever going to learn to think for yourself? You want a true test? take two ships face mask everyone on one ship and put no face masks on anyone on the other. Spread the wuhan bug through the ventilation systems of both ships and count the numbers. You’ll find masks do not stop an air born virus.
Time to quit playing the games everybody knows are games
Time for some class action lawsuits to hold central planners accountable for the destruction of lives, property and economic loss they have caused. Reminder about this old John Hopkins study staing what most of us had figured out by January or February
Not just the Johns hopkins study showing no more deaths usual, the CDC is now saying quarantine only needs to be 7 day and fauci says masks are not needed. All the while the media is trying to scare us to death and keep America shut down. This all boils down to the mass control of not just American citizens but World chaos.
You search the web and you have to go past all the Pro Control Covid is our worst nightmare claims and then you can find some truth about the exaggeration. Main Stream Media is playing the World.
The media right now is focusing on how “bad” covid is in N.D. NPR spent about an hour on it yesterday. I’ve still got some pretty good friends up that way. They know no one that has died of it and hospitals levels are the same as always. I’m thinking this is just a good place for the media to exaggerate about because not many people have ties or connections up there due to low population.
Might be you being the sucker Robby, your own link shows covid deaths at the same low rate they were in January. Why is the media saying it is so bad ?
