Based on how the deaths are reported for Covid the numbers are clearly overstated. Whether it was the same for the HHF I don’t know, but it certainly was much harder on young folks. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/health/lessons-to-be-learned-from-1957-pandemic/ For your 500% greater total, I’ll take the under. For the unemployment numbers next week, I’ll continue to cash on the over. I don’t know how deaths were reported then either but to say that covid deaths are being counted differently from flu deaths is another misnomer, yet this misinformation continues to be spread to push an agenda.

Dr. Birx definitely agrees with you on this matter......which is inflating the mortality rate by as much as 25%. Now Fauci could careless as he feels anyone leaving their house prior to a vaccine is going to die anyways.

Do you dispute that deaths are being counts as Covid, without a test, so long as there are any Covid symptoms, or even suspecting there were symptoms. (Elderly person found deceased at home are counted). That is not the case with the flu. Of the deaths reported in ND, how many do you think we’re proximate our caused by Covid? 1

What’s you fascination with sharing misinformation? Would you prefer we go back to your other favorite topic of “no scientific benefit of mask use”? Which misinformation is that? That we're human, that we're mortal, that we have fully functioning immune systems that have served us well for centuries, that this is not the first and (probably) not the last virus we'll encounter, that people will die, that until this virus had a name and a press agent 99.9% of the US population would have simply gone about living completely unaware, that lay people have no business trying to digest the type and quantity of information they're being force fed on a daily basis, that indefinite lockdown orders are unconstitutional, that civil defense propaganda from the Cold War was never intended to save lives but rather placate the masses, that one-size-fits-all approaches to public health are ludicrous, that haircuts can be achieved with minimal risk. Please, point me to the "misinformation." 5

No. Can you say that every covid death has been identified? Can you also provide some details where deaths are currently being counted as covid without a test? and for the ND stats an easy place to check is is the ND DOH site, they list the deaths from covid vs deaths with covid.

Coronavirus droplets caused by talking remain in the air for 8-14 minutes, new study says Man, if I am to listen to what all of the learned experts are telling me to do, I may as well just go sit in my house and prepare to die, because one way or another that virus is going to find me. 4

The irony is it already has. Unless you locked yourself in a New Zealand bunker, you have already Likely been exposed. For whatever reason you were not infected- thank your immune system, especially your skin.

I'm confused all the animosity towards scientists. Just because people don't like or agree with what they say doesn't make them anymore right or wrong. They present their findings and show their work. Are models and variables continuously changing, resulting in new data? Of course, that's literally how science works. Did the original projections have a huge band of outcomes? Of course, it's novel virus that no one knew much about. But of course the media immediately reports the worst case scenario instead of actual ranges, because it gets clicks. Anyone who thinks Fauci had some axe to grind is not paying attention to what he's actually saying. He's repeatedly stated that he has no opinion on policy or on economic decisions, he is simply relaying his findings the exact same as he has for almost 40 years and through multiple viruses. Him stating what he believes might happen is not him pushing an agenda, it's doing his job. It's up to the elected officials to make the decisions. 1
Oxbow6 Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 Colorado just amended its COVID deaths from over a 1000 down to 878. 1
SWSiouxMN Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 Read that France might have had this floating around in Mid-November, two months before their first confirmed case. They already were studying a few possible cases from December.
dynato Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 What I am curious about is the absence of congressmen in the media besides for stimulus packages. Not that I miss that haha. It has been reported they get tested twice a week. So far, only one senator and seven representatives have tested positive. Two dozen have self-quarantined. https://www.govtrack.us/covid-19

Because we made policy and destroyed people's lives temporarily based on their "findings". Their findings are constantly changing and they are not held accountable for anything they have found that didn't turn out to mean anything, but was used as a reason to take an action. If we hadn't done anything drastic then whatever, another piece of the puzzle. But their "findings", however political they may be, have created fear porn for everyone, which led to a sheep mentality where if one group shuts down now we have to because we might look bad. The word LIABILITY comes to mind lately.

People have a tendency to think they know more about a subject than thousands of scientists who have spent decades learning a subject matter. They equate their own personal hunches as superior to billion dollar funded government agencies like the CDC. Fauci has been the nations leading expert on infectious disease for six presidencies. He was awarded the medal of freedom by Bush, the highest non-military civil award achievable in the USA.

It has to do with us, as a country, then reacting to their ever changing "findings" by burning it down to a low we haven't seen in 75+ years. The real ramifications of our overreaction won't be seen for a few years. 1
