Even though this is a fake account, I'll give you the glaringly obvious explanation for why deaths are down.

But you need to remember that Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit has become an opportunist with no core values.

I say that as someone who once respected him greatly.
The reason why deaths are down is very easy to figure out, of course.

But first, the economy hasn't been "killed," as Hoft well knows.

Economic depressions are caused by a lack of jobs.

There's no lack of jobs. This economic slumber is artificial.
Bad-faith actors want you to have amnesia about @realDonaldTrump.

He himself is an economist.

Not only THAT, he's a nuts-and-bolts economist.

Most economists have no idea how industries work. They study only trends.
I can tell you how to judge the health of an economy.

Trump knows this:

Look at the country's aerospace industry.

The Chinese economy is a mirage, as you can tell by the aerospace industry.

This is the COMAC ARJ21, an unlicensed copy of the McDonnell Douglas DC-9.
The Chinese were GIVEN THE PLANS FOR THE DC-9, and they were unable to build their own copy.

It was ten years late, and they were never able to get the wing spars strong enough to meet international standards.
So the Chinese simply gave up on exporting the COMAC ARJ21--the UNLICENSED copy--and use it domestically.

It's a deathtrap. The wings will fall off after just a couple of years.

China has a fake economy.
Our own economy is strong, and Trump is on the phone every day with corporate leaders, preparing the battlefield for the reopening of the country.

Jim Hoft is like a guy who I used to follow on Twitter.

He picks fights with rabid leftists.
I can't remember the rabid leftist in question, but he's a lawyer who threatened to send his "friends in the CIA" after the guy who I used to follow.

So the guy left Twitter, claiming that the Deep State was after him, and he had to go into hiding.
The rabid-leftist lawyer made the same threat to me.

"Send 'em over!" I responded. "I'll entertain them with stories about being interrogated by DIGEPOL and UDBA!"

He went away.
The reason I muted the other guy was that he's a drama queen, a fraud, and a passive-aggressive Beta Male who deliberately attributed to me something I never said.

And he wouldn't stop.
COVID-19 is almost certainly the worst crisis the US has faced.

People are in total denial.

It wasn't the mortality rate; it was the fact that MILLIONS of people would've required treatment in intensive-care units (ICUs).

And that would've destroyed our medical system.
Beginning with Number Three:

Unintentional injuries.

Influenza and pneumonia.

Suicide.
All of those are mitigated by social distancing and the care taken to keep people on company payrolls.

Remember the hospital ship USNS Comfort in New York?

It was supposed to treat non-COVID-19 patients.

There aren't any.
People are staying home.

They aren't crashing their cars or motorcycles, they aren't being killed at work, and they aren't being killed in falls.

No drunk driving.
People with chronic conditions that are all the OTHER major causes of death--heart disease, chronic lower respiratory disease, stroke and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, kidney disease--aren't going to gyms and bars and dropping dead.
People with severe illnesses go out for walks, fly airplanes, hike, bike, swim--and die.

So OF COURSE the overall death rate is down.

There's this insane idea that Anthony Fauci is hoodwinking Trump.

Trump ignored Fauci multiple times. There's no hoodwinking.
The stupidest thing people can do is pop up from undergound when it's all over and say, "IT WAS ALL A HOAX!"

Does the fact that we never had a nuclear war means that it was never a possibility?

Do you know what we used to do?
We used to send nuclear bombers to the edge of our airspace and have them orbit there ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.

The Convair B-58 Hustler was a nuclear bomber designed precisely for that mission.
The best movie ever made about nuclear war is Fail-safe.
People have to lie to themselves in order to make it through each day.

I never lie to myself.

Anymore.

I DID. But only because I'm almost totally destroyed.
All of my worst fears came true...and I'm still here.

The final admission was that the woman I thought was the love of my life was the most sadistic game player who ever lived.

She stayed with me for five years BECAUSE IT WAS FUN.
I gave her five years of daily entertainment.

Every other man had gotten tired of her in just a few months, but I was devoted to her.

Admitting the truth to myself was the last step in my evolution into what I am now.

And I'm still evolving.
The 1957 movie The Incredible Shrinking Man mirrors what happened to me.

If you go far enough INWARD, it's exactly like going OUTWARD.

Except that going inward is infinite. If you look for answers by going outward, you'll hit a wall. No more answers.
We're all Mandelbrot's Set, a fractal image infinitely detailed on the edge.

No matter how far you zoom in, you never get to the end.

The self HAS NO END.
I don't expect people to be like me.

It took decades of horror to get here.

But I DO expect people to act in good faith.

If they don't, I flip the switch on them, and I never give them second chances.

Never.
