Additionally, over 80 percent (let’s just say the vast majority) of people who have died from C-19 had other health issues, called comorbidity factors, which calls into question whether those folks died FROM Covid-19, or died WITH Covid-19. There is a difference.
The U.S. has seen 80,000 flu deaths in a year. When Covid-19 deaths approach this number I will certainly worry in earnest. Until then, I’ll continue to believe nothing I hear from the mainstream media and only half of what I see on TV.
The government is using this Coronavirus outbreak as yet another opportunity to consolidate power and control into the hands of the wretched few in Washington, D.C., and the American people are falling for it once again hook, line and sinker. That’s what makes me sick.
