See the hype today? 100,000! Has never happened before! Record!
Except, in the first five months of the year *without* the celeb disease, we would expect...
1,208,000 deaths in the US.
Incl. 271,000 from heart disease
250,000 from cancer
68,750 from resp. diseases

Fact: an unknown percentage of this 100,000 (assuming its accuracy, which is highly questionable) would have died of other causes during this time period, or within a year from now. Remember, the average age of mortality sits at 81 years of age.
Now think with me: look at MSNBC, CNN...what's on the right of the screen? A Covid clock. Cases. Deaths. Globally, and in the US. It's there, constantly. In red. You can't ignore it. You can't miss it. But...
Where is the heart disease clock? Cancer clock? Alzheimer's clock?
Where is the heart disease clock? Cancer clock? Alzheimer's clock?
Stroke clock? Diabetes clock? Influenza and pneumonia clock? Nephritis/kidney disease clock? How about a suicide clock? Heavens...could we get an abortion clock?
Nope, just one disease--and it is meant to create the panic and paranoia that is now the FUEL of social change.

Contextless numbers combined with constant stoking of fear---and the result has been a wholesale abandonment of the principles upon which the nation was founded. I can't imagine Washington, shivering with his rag-tag soldiers in the winter of 1777 could have seen that one coming.
