Saying it is a Corona virus doesnt make a virus in itself any worse or minimal, the first SARS from the early 2000s was brutal, luckily it mutated itself out of existence .

I thought this one would've done it already, it still might as there is signs it is mutating.

Perhaps it would have if we had not been frightened to leave the house, or meet with people or have a party.
The Government in effect slowed down the virus from mutating itself out of existence.

Personally, I'd rather flop over and die in a ditch then be in an induced coma and on a ventilator for weeks before I finally die. Being on a ventilator isn't pretty.

Gets pretty lonely in a hospital where no one can visit you and the only time you see anyone is when a nurse checks to see if you are still breatrhing or they bring you some of their shitty food.You get pretty depressed. One old lady volunteered for death before going through that again.

Aren't all deaths, regardless of the cause, a tragedy for the dead person and their loved ones? Why are Covid deaths special?

Have COVID-19 Lockdowns Saved Any Lives? Let's Take a Look at Federal Data

We are told this is the cost of controlling an unusually deadly virus by selected health experts and the corporate media. In fact, Bill Gates appeared on State of the Union with Jake Tapper and said that even with a vaccine, we won’t get back to “normal” until 2022. Dr. Anthony Fauci has told us that even with a vaccine, we will need to mask, social distance, and continue to beware.

One would think in light of these dire predictions and given the horrible toll the response has taken on the economy and young people, the excess deaths due to COVID-19 would be through the roof. But federal data says that does not appear to be the case. The following chart shows annual deaths in the United States, life expectancy, top causes of death, and average deaths per day in the country. Data for 2020 is provisional through December 12th, and all data is taken from the CDC or the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS):

COVID-19



It appears that an excessive number of deaths for the year is not likely. To reach the level of total deaths in any year since 2017, the United States would need to experience between 8,395 to 10,579 deaths per day every day beginning on December 13th. This would be quite a feat given the fact that the case and infection fatality rates for COVID-19 have fallen significantly since the early pandemic with improved treatment.

I think you are on to something here. Let's have some fun with numbers, shall we?

US Population Numbers ...
2010 309,011,475
2011 311,584,048
2012 314,043,885
2013 316,400,538
2014 318,673,411
2015 320,878,310
2016 323,015,995
2017 325,084,756
2018 327,096,265
2019 329,064,917
2020 331,002,651

An increase over these 11 years of 22,001,176 or and average increase of 2,000,106 per year. With an overall average of 2,223,606 deaths per year. Leaves a net annual death rate average of 223,500 or only 612 deaths per day. This seems fairly good considering.

Funny in the CDC's chart. Why the change from "Chronic Lung" to "Unintentional Injuries"? Did smoking, asthma, bronchitis, COPD, the flu and pneumonia, etc., suddenly stop people from having chronic lung problems? Did these ailments suddenly get cured? I wonder their methodology?

Well about 2 years ago I learned a top cause of death was medical mistakes, people dont go to the hospital or doctor and those dont happen. Pretty scary that many medical mistake deaths happen.

I know when I went out to have a kidney stone removed i was scared that I'd wake up with a vagina. I had left kidney written on my Johnson in sharpie when I woke up.
