THIS ONE SURELY DOES MAKE ONE WONDER. WSK
Subject: Let this sink in. Numbers to ponder
Food for DEEP Thought...
... found these numbers interesting. As reported by the CDC ...
Here are the US deaths by year and the change from the previous year.
Year 2017: 2,818,503 Americans died
Year 2018: 2,839,205 deaths (20,702 more than the previous year 2017)
Year 2019: 2,855,000 deaths (16,300 more than the previous year 2018)
The year of the pandemic ...
Year 2020: 2,913,144 deaths (57,641 more than the previous year 2019)
BUT WAIT: There were zero deaths from Covid-19 during 2018, and 2019 and the jump from 2019 was only 57,641 ???
I've been told that COVID is responsible now for 400,000 + deaths. Shouldn't the 2020 number be a lot higher?
So, the question becomes: How many people died of COVID and How many died (of other causes) WITH COVID?
Now read below:
Food for thought:
A very well-orchestrated plan, or an unimaginable set of events that just fell into place with the United States front and center. You tell me!!
Scare people with a virus, force them to wear masks and place them in quarantine.
Count the number of dead every second of every day, in every News Headline. By the way, ninety-nine and eight-tenths of the people who get the virus, recover. About one to two tenths of one percent who get the virus, die. Most all of them have other medical problems. Did you catch that? Less than 1/2 of a percent die.
Close businesses = 35,000,000+ instantly unemployed.
Remove entertainment and prohibit recreation, Closing parks, gyms, bars, restaurants, sports.
No dating. No touching. Isolate people. Dehumanize them.
Close Temples and Churches - prohibit worship. Create a vacuum and let depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and desperation set in.
Then... ignite hatred and civil unrest, creating Civil War.
Empty the prisons because of the virus and fill the streets with criminals.
Send in Antifa and BLM to vandalize property, as if they are freedom fighters. Undermine the law. Riot, Loot and Attack all Law Enforcement, but tell government to order a stand-down.
Then... Defund Law Enforcement and abolish Police.
We are all being played by those who want to destroy America! This is how you destroy a Nation from within, and in very short order.
Will it work? I guess that depends on you and me.
I did not write this ... but it needs to be shared. I just did. Your turn.
Makes you wonder ...
God Bless America

I mean this is pretty much old news but 'A' for effort I suppose?
ATS members have been posting about this for a few months now.
94% of those who died were close to death anyway, due to existing medical problems.

How close? 5 years? 10?
Was their condition being managed with, like, insulin?
Factually inaccurate: It is false to say there were fewer or a similar number of deaths in the US in 2020 compared to previous years. On 31 December 2020, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported 2,913,144 total deaths, which was based on data from 30 December. Furthermore, this is only a provisional figure. The true figure is likely even larger, given that the death count available on 31 December is incomplete due to a time lag in reporting.
There were over 695.8 thousand deaths in the United Kingdom in 2020, compared with 604 thousand in 2019.

The curve seems to follow that of COVID related stuff (infections, hospitalizations, deaths) pretty well. Coincidence maybe.

Unfortunately, if we really want to count ALL deaths "due to Covid," we also have to count the increased suicides due to Covid lockdowns, accidental drug overdoses, and medical conditions that were not treated because of Covid restrictions...
An increased number of children actually killed themselves this past year due to Democrat leaders!
This TV host broke down in tears last week while interviewing some of the parents.

I hope Democrat leaders who over-reacted to minor killer Covid-19 grow a conscience and, at the very least, apologize to America. (Some should atone by ending their own life.)

Worst of all, kids are the least affected by this particular annual flu. The politicians and anyone who is hysterical over a flu, have blood on their hands.
