500,000 deaths from covid-19 in the u.s.

[Manny Decker]

The United States is approaching a grim milestone—the impending moment when half a million Americans will have lost their lives to the coronavirus. It’s a staggering number that’s painful to think about, and even harder to picture. Research into our evolution shows that the human brain is not inherently wired to make sense of large numbers; other studies show that people also have become adept at suppressing trauma to cope with grief. In 2020, the U.S. saw a more than 15 percent increase in deaths over the prior year, the highest year-on-year rise in deaths across the U.S. since 1918, which experienced both a global flu epidemic and the First World War.
The colossal death toll forces us to confront a distressing, ever growing number that has affected some groups more than others. Most of the dead have been Americans 65 and over. People of color are also dying at disproportionate rates: Deaths among Black Americans are 1.9 times higher than among non-Hispanic whites, Hispanics and Latinos 2.3 times higher, and Native Americans 2.4 times higher. The deadly sum of it all is hard to fathom.
What does the loss of so many lives look like? Here are some ways to envision what 500,000 really means.

No. The numbers have been fudged from the start.

They've admitted to counting every death, as covid.

The article says a 15% increase in deaths over the last period from last year, the figures speak for themselves. Read all of the article.

When will the process of killing the virus begin?

Because, they've been counting every death as, covid.

A large percentage of elderly men die WITH prostate cancer. Not from it.
It's not listed as the cause of death on the certificate.

Covid comorbidity is being used as a tool to instill fear, control the populace, and reap insane profits.

Covid is real but the death numbers are not.

Last years number were fudged. Go to the CDC. Look at the last 5 years and you can extrapolate how many should have died without COVID in 2020. Do not use the expected death numbers. Then add in the extra suicides and overdoses. Only about 300 thousand extra deaths occurred in 2020. A terrible number but not the 415,000 that were used for the election and for local governments/facilities to pull in more funding from the Federal Government.
So when you start over 100,000 off then the 500,000 is also far off.

The CDC actually adjusted their expected death number to a lower number than 2019 reported deaths. Never happened before and never explained. Given that, I do not think their motives were bad, since the number was created in 2018. I think it was a correction to their system that overestimated deaths almost every year.

The numbers are likely fudged to some extent, but it's still a dangerous virus. I've never known anyone who died of the flu, and just this year, four people I know died of covid (the most recent just last week). Or "with" covid. Take your pick. It's still too high a number.

What I want to know is when we're going to make China pay for what they've done. Because, this wasn't a zoonotic jump. This was an act of war.

That said -- I'm not in a rush to get the vaccine.

There's no chance China will pay for anything, not with Biden bowing down to them.

I live in a retirement community. Death is a common occurrence. There were two deaths on my block in the last couple of days. One was a 95 year old woman with a history of heart disease, the other an 85 year man with cancer. Both were listed as Covid deaths. One of the last Tuskegee Airman recently died at over 100 years of age, his death was listed as Covid.

Yes people get Covid and die from it. Far more often the press and hospitals conspire to inflate the number of actual Covid deaths.
