I did see someone point this out with the data...but didn't capture their analysis. Thanks.
It will be interesting to see the total when we hit the 1 year mark.
Ive had about a hundred arguments with people on voat over CDC data. Im beginning to become a bit terse on the subject. But my opinion is that there is a significant increase in total deaths since 2019 on the CDC reporting system that is consistent with the Covid numbers. If they are really just heart attack fatalities then something has caused heart attacks to increase massively from last year. Maybe they are just making up new dead people but I dont think so. They are too incompetent to do that with out fucking up.
Only things we know for sure is that PCR tests used to diagnose covid19 produce a ridiculously high number of false positives. And that there are documented instances of gross abuses when it comes to fatalities attributed to covid19. From there, imo, we can consider that the number of death attributed to covid19 is not only inaccurate, but way over estimated
We don’t know what the percent of “false positives” is.
We need to get our definitions straight. Someone who has the virus in their body should be differentiated from people that becomes symptomatic. They currently call all these people cases. Meanwhile influenza “cases” are people that present at emergency rooms with extreme symptoms of influenza who test positive. So comparing case fatality rate of covid and influenza is meaningless.
I don’t think the number of covid fatalities has been inflated. Total deaths in america is up by 10 or 15 percent and that number is comparable to the reported numer of covid deaths.
People who don’t know any old people or don’t live in a hard hit area might be inclined to think no one is dying because it hasn’t happened to anyone they know. But in urban areas a lot of people are dying.
