Over 90% were people over 65 with other conditions that made them weak. That's why on the way to work you only see 2-3 dead school kids along the side of the road, the virus spared a lot of them.. (ironic humor) I still don't know a single person that has it, let alone has died from it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

230316 It's a massive number when you compare it to Taiwan's 7 Number from John's Hopkins I grew up in Baltimore My father, a scientist, had his office on campus I have the greatest respect for John's Hopkins We are very proud to have one of the best hospitals on the planet in Baltimore Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

It's ,00069% of the population. You need to google the definition of 'massive', it's not what you think it is. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Typical deaths per year in the US is 2.8 million. Currently Covid is 8% of that number. This is not a massive number. It is not insignificant but more changes are being caused by the response to Covid than the deaths. Your chance of dying from either cancer or heart disease is 3 or 4 times your chance of dying from Covid. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

It's different, you can't get cancer from being near somebody with cancer. The scope of transmission is what matters. COVID deaths can be prevented by limiting exposure. (yes Cancer and heart disease can be greatly diminished by change of diet and lifestyle and limiting smoking, but those are long term solutions). |

Stress is a big factor in both. The stress level of the population keeps increasing and is causing problems now. What is it going to be in another year or two. The MSM keeps pushing the danger of Covid and ramping up the stress. They also present the false hope of a magic bullet cure. This is criminal manipulation of the population.

And it's not even a real number. The real number of deaths from covid is far less than what they're putting out. After the election this will all go away, just watch. It will no longer be a tool. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
