Also, you can’t comprehend too well there AlfraidO’…
Here is the salient point:
“Indeed, simply comparing the total number of deaths in 2020 so far to that of previous years shows a clear increase in deaths (Figure 1). And a CDC report estimated that between late January and October 2020, there were more than 299,000 excess deaths in the U.S.”
Hey Robby or if you prefer Richard beer froth… aka dik head… Let’s not compare total deaths right now. Let’s compare what the main stream media is preaching falsely. Death rates are up from corona right now to an all time high. That is fake media. Your link proves it. Death rates from corona are the same right now as in January. May was the spike.
Have you heard of anyone getting the flu this year? I have not. Did the flu go away?
“Briand presented data of total U.S. deaths in comparison to COVID-19-related deaths as a proportion percentage […] an increase in excess deaths is not represented in these proportionalities because they are offered as percentages, not raw numbers.”
You are confusing percentages with nominal deaths…
Here is a timeline of the nominal deaths, please show us all where the number of covid deaths is the same as they were in “January” as you incorrectly stated:
Who is Alfredo? who is anybody? Hey Robby, I believe you and I are close in age. That being the case when have you ever made it to this time of year and never heard of anyone getting the flu? I got to asking around and even a couple of nurses, nobody is getting the flu? Strange, but everyone is diagnosed positive with covid for anything sniffly headed and not feeling too well. People follow what the media says and don’t care for what is actually happening. Covid is being used as political smoke screen.
I can mostly comprehend pretty well, if something needs me to. Maybe you missed this in YOUR link.
First, one graph is in percentages for 5 year average YOY comparison purposes, and the other is nominal deaths data…
Second, the link I used was to refute the total excess deaths to a certain point which was thru the middle of October…
Third, you are not taking into account the nominal deaths after the percentage graph time scale ended since the nominal deaths are much more current. Essentially, you didn’t even notice the difference in time scale on the 2 graphs… Here is the time period for nominal deaths beyond the middle of October. I have helped you by drawing a red line to indicate where the percentage graph stops. The graphs match up rather nicely on the trend pattern when juxtaposed…
You claim the media is making a big deal over nothing when in fact the lastest nominal deaths are as high now as they were at the peak back in the spring…
As I said, you don’t comprehend very well as you didn’t even notice the time scale difference which proves the media isn’t making it up, the increase in deaths is REAL…
Let me guess your next pivot to try not to look like a covidiot… The data is all wrong, etc. blah, blah, blah…
Where’s the deaths from the flu this year? Next comes your man biden with a mandatory 100 day mask wearing thing. Can you think for yourself? Covid deaths have slowed down like your link shows, not ramped up outrageously like your media claims. The science all told us it may increase slightly in the fall and winter as people crowed together from the cold. and people say I’m a fear mongerer?
Good old Robby letting out how stupid he is. Cloth masks are the true crack pot if anyone thinks they will stop an air born virus. So just who is the “nut job” ? Our society with the media’s help shaming people into wearing mask! And now our most likely new president has already come out with a mandate for mandatory mask wearing for 100 days. Let’s see how many Pelosi’s and Biden’s there are that tell us to wear them but they don’t.
Show me where covid deaths have slowed down? They are increasing…
The flu statement is just a pivot/deflection to not discuss the fact you are biased, and your hate for Dems doesn’t allow you to think for yourself even in the face of hard data…
Never once have I stated I was not biased against Modern dems , Free Ice cream, open borders, excessive added gun control, eliminating private health plans, etc. . No the Flu statement was for those with open eyes to understand this Corona thing is real but exaggerated. Hard data? How many false positive tests and deaths from underlying causes that corona just happened to be around are in this report? It is hard evidence that having the flu can trigger a false positive that it is corona, and then of course numbers go up on corona’s side.
You’ll try to argue against this, but it is what it is. The real facts are corona is bad, but not as bad as the media is making it to be. Get this country back up and running and kids back in school and quit trying to scare the heck out of everyone. Masks are not the answer to an air born virus. It’s not going away, but it seems the flu has. ~
I’ve been around just a tad past a half century and never once have I NOT heard of anyone getting the flu by now. The flu is an air born virus, why hasn’t the government ever made us use masks before?
c/p
“While the impact of flu varies, it places a substantial burden on the health of people in the United States each year. CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.”
Add those numbers to corona for 2020 and yea… it looks like corona is worse than it is.
Even Obuma agrees the media has turned to “Truth decay” and no real Journalist left. I just can’t believe even those that Hate Trump have not accepted the simple fact that the news media attacked a sitting president. The media went crazy on a false accusation of Russia collusion for three years. Straight up LIES. Now the Media is trying to scare America into locking down and telling us masks are the cure. B.S.
Our media should be attacking China for not letting the World know just how bad this corona thing would be, and for forcing the WHO into downplaying it to the World in the begining stages. We all should be screaming for retribution and monetary support for what CHina did. Instead we now may just have a new president that will kiss China’s Arse and attack the American Dream.
After listening to several on this sight, I’ve started using duck duck go in stead of google or bing. Amazing the difference in return topics on a search. Not near as biased to one side. Any other recommendations?
