What about car crashes and shark bites? I guess it’s the COVID that got them

are all the other countries counting COVID deaths the same as the USA by including all deaths with underlying conditions as Covid?

Do other countries give hospitals more money for patients who died from COVID as opposed to any other condition.

Do you realize how inflating the numbers has an impact on lockdown restrictions?

I didn’t notice in your article that shark attack and car accident related deaths were being denoted as COVID related. This is either your hyperbole or you need some sources to site:)

what does what other countries do have to do with the USA? I thought we were the world leaders.....

You’ll need to provide proof of a widespread monetary death incentive to hospitals for COVID deaths. I’m in touch with a half dozen front line workers and they aren’t getting death bonuses.

I am not aware of exactly how the numbers have an impact on policy. Can you quantify that?

Let me show you how easy it is to manipulate data into narrative. Here is from your link:

“ According to the CDC 9683 died in the United States with only having COVID-19 listed on their death certificate.”

And here is my headline:

COVID 19 kills more people in 9 months than AIDS has in the last 25 years.

factually accurate. Completely misleading.

Both sides are using COVID as a political weapon.

Since I despise both sides my friendly advice to you would be to be careful what you believe and to try hard to separate fact from narrative.

Trump is counting on his base to see things exactly the way you do;)

People have been incentivized not work ... this will have more dangerous and long lasting impact than the pandemic ... one political party has found a way to benefit while destroying the country and their opponents at the same time ... there was never any real danger medically ... under 70 year death rate now been proven literally tiny ... no lock downs should have ever happened ... at risk elderly should have been protected ... Sweden is the only democracy that handled it properly ...

https://cbs12.com/news/local/man-wh...h-counted-as-covid-19-death-in-florida-report

https://cbs12.com/news/local/i-team-deaths-incorrectly-attributed-to-covid-19-in-palm-beach-county

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...y-report-hospitals-say-actual-rate-much-lower

a lot of inconsistencies in the counting of deaths/cases

https://fee.org/articles/physicians...st-covid-19-on-death-certificates-here-s-why/

Hospitals are making money off of Coronavirus deaths.


again, I find it hard to believe the USA is more affected than any other country in the world. The USA looks far worse than the 2nd most impacted country in the world.

it unbelievable to think that people in 3rd world countries, who live in huts on top of each other, with no plumbing and mix their drinking water with sewer water are doing better than the USA.

numbers are being inflated to politicize the whole thing.

the numbers have huge impacts on policy. Mandating Masks and social distancing is policy infringing on freedom. Look at all the business that are going to go bankrupt because of the lockdowns. Look at the mail-in-voting Democrats are pushing.

one side is trying to benefit from the virus. One side is out in the streets running around causing chaos. (And if the virus was as bad as it’s made out to be, these BLM would be superspreaders) I don’t get how Trump has benefited from the virus? other than punching back every time he gets attacked

I'd argue that practically every single East Asian democracy has handled it pretty damn well too. Minimizing the inevitable economic disruption and mortality rate at the same time. This should surprise no one since they actually learnt from the past and prepared for this while practically everyone here in the west...didn't.

We're in a fortunate position that, at the end of all this, it'll be pretty easy to see who did well and who didn't. Economic and health data aplenty.

It's scary to me that there was NO plan. I'd think they (the Government would have been somewhat prepared?). This whole thing was a shit show! Now that bar has been set so high for a virus that has a minimal death rate. What happens when a REAL killer virus pops up? 5-10% death rate? where do we go from here?

This was a good wake up call.

Sure, there was an overreaction, but we learned from that too.

For at least the next decade the collective conscious should not let us get caught again with our pants down the next time a pandemic hits.

You’d think we could learn from this. I’d hope that would be the case. I have serious doubts that our government is capable. They are so busy pointing fingers and trying to take credit. I’ve had it with bipartisan bullshit and the media agenda.

I'm slowly working on mine. Every pay period I've set my bank account to setup to auto set aside 15% of my deposit to put towards gym equipment for the home.

I'm stoked!

Gunna try to start looking when I have at least 7k set aside.

Yep. And dumbbells were just not an option at like $5k used.

I ended up opting for the 1" plate loaded handles. Much cheaper and saves space but a pain in the ass to change them each set, also cant kick them back from your legs gotta swing them up.

I love Icke.

Did you watch the Robert F Kenndy Jr's Speech in Berlin, same weekend. Don't mind the german translator though.

UK, Berlin, Quebec, I think a few other places had and, let me choose my words carefully here, Peaceful Protests on Aug 29th.
