Every #COVID19 death is a tragedy for the individual and their family. But there are tens of thousands of tragedies of all kinds every day. People die. It& #39;s an uncomfortable, cold, hard fact. What is disturbing is the MSM & Politicians fetishizing only ONE kind of death.
1)
1)
The over-emotionalizing & over-the-top fear-mongering of #COVID19 are not justified by the actual numbers. Instead, those numbers- tragic as they are- are but a fraction of the projections from academic & #39;models& #39; that MSM & politicians cite as if they were fact. They are not.

2)
Furthermore, the actual number of deaths from #COVID19 are in lone or much less than those from annual influenza epidemics. In many ways, SARS CoViD2 is Much less deadly- in both numbers and the breakdown of those who die.
3)
3)
While there are outliers, whatbis missing are deaths of otherwise healthy, younger people that die in EVERY epidemic. And #Covid_19 seems to be skipping the very young to an overwhelming extent, except, as I said, with s few statistical outliers.
4)

Moreover, statistically the overwhelming majority of deaths are the very old, and the immunocompromised- most of whom have 2 or more covalent conditions that weighed contribute to- or z actually cause- their deaths. Many deaths are concentrated in clusters at nursing homes.

5)
The Media focus on the outliers, though- as that generates fear (and, thus clicks and eyeballs). Also, many deaths attributed TO #COVID2019 are actually only of those who had tested positive for the virus, but actually died primarily or solely from another cause.
6)
6)
But they& #39;re all coded, counted & reported as & #39; #COVID19 Deaths& #39; by both Health industry officials & the CDC. If you look at media reports of many these deaths, you& #39;ll find buried in the story that the actual cause of death isn& #39;t COVID-19, only that the person tested positive.

To be sure, any death is tragic- whatever the cause. But what is missing in this pandemic is a clear, jaundiced and scientifically skeptical eye looking at actual statistics and evidence- free from the clouding of emotionalism and bias toward a social or political agenda.

Anyone denouncing this view as & #39;cold& #39; or & #39;uncaring& #39; is doing a disservice to not only the 1000& #39;s affected by #COVID19, but also toward the 100& #39;s of millions worldwide who& #39;s lives have been disrupted or ruined by unwarranted hysteria. Protect the infected- but find the truth.

Postscript: I am considered as being in several & #39;High-Risk& #39; groups for #COVID19. But I& #39;ve never let my life be governed by fear of possibilities. I prefer to assess the possibilities and risks and live my life without emotionalism and fears generated by others. I won& #39;t start now.

Figures lie & liars figure. MSM breathlessly reported the US has the most COVID Deaths worldwide- but that& #39;s TOTAL deaths. We have 350 mln ppl. As a percentage of total pop (a much more accurate way to look at it) the US is far down the list.
