Im betting they had at least a foot on a banana peel. In the article they fail to mention that the person who attended the wedding tested positive or the employee tested positive. At least in the other article from last month about the prison outbreak they had the decency to say the prison employee who attended the reception tested positive. (although they couldn't confirm where he contracted the China Virus, just that he had it. zero chance he was infected anywhere other than the reception /s) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lod001 1,237 Posted September 18, 2020 Who'd a thunk it???? https://www.yahoo.com/news/almost-one-third-covid-deaths-155426293.html It means someone who suffered a heart attack, or even died in a road traffic accident, may have been included in the figures if they had also tested positive for coronavirus at some point, or if doctors believed the virus may have exacerbated their condition. i'm guessing whoever is behind this (while 100% true) believes the Biden is going to win and are getting the narrative ready with "oh covid actually didn't kill most of these people, back to work."

Every now and then, somebody posts something from FBG that makes me want to re-open an account but I never have. I was there for a few months when they were still a new site a half year old going into their first NFL season but left. The way the treated huddle refugees there was utterly intolerable. I was banned for suggesting their banning of another poster was done for no reason. His ban and mine were both bullsh*t. That was it. I was a 29 year old adult, now I'm a 48 year old adult. I'm not a troll, I don't cause problems, I post thoughtful content, and I don't take kindly to be treated like a child. If that's how they want to run a site, I figured they can do it without me. I don't respect them at all, I wasn't going back, and I never have. Maybe if I thought they'd changed, I'd give it a try but the people that leave there for here are 99% fine people and all have similar stories to mine. Yep, I was at theHuddle when it imploded too and I cancelled my subscription when it did. Way to treat your customers, heh? They lost business and I could not have been the only one that did that. That's why I moved over to FBGs and it now is the same situation: cancelled my subscription and came over here. Hopefully this works out and I won't have to find a new home again. I just can't believe business owners who insult their customers and purposefully lose business. Makes no sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goggins 146 Posted September 21, 2020 2 hours ago, nobody said: I'd love to say the covid death number is over-inflated, but the excess deaths over expected doesn't support that. Is it possible some of the excess deaths are due to people dying because they couldn't get treatment for diseases they already had? Or increase in suicides, murders, accidents due to lockdown related stress? Or anxiety/stress from lockdowns increasing the incidences of other issues like heart disease and stroke? CDC says that 6% are COVID only deaths, so that is an increase of 12k there. Also, it is reasonable to think that many of the 94% who died with comorbidities would have died at some point in the next 3-18 months, COVID just sped up the timeline. Point being, COVID alone likely increased the excess deaths in 2020 to some degree, but it isn't the plague it has been portrayed as by media and politicians where it is wiping out hundreds of thousands of otherwise healthy people. It will be interesting to see how the annual deaths from all causes in 2021 compare to the norm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goggins 146 Posted September 21, 2020 The left likes to blame Trump for every death and lost job in America. How do they account for the deaths and lost jobs in the other 200 countries? A novel virus was going to kill some people, just like the flu and cancer and copd and stroke do every year. Governors locking down their states for 6 months was going to kill jobs. Given what he had to work with and the media/political pressures against him (governors banned a proven drug, social media companies banned any discussion that didn't parrot the company line, governors locked down states but still allowed riots) Trump did as good a job as one could have hoped. Every hysteria was met with massive federal action (tests, ventilators, hospital/ICU beds, PPE, bailouts, more tests, masks, therapeutic treatments, vaccines) and Trump delivered. Which is why they had to move the goal posts every 3 weeks. Remember when the goal was to "flatten the curve"? That was done back in April. If you compare the US stats on a per capita basis (even with the fake stats related to cases and deaths) the US is still doing better than most other countries. If you compare the real stats (exclude bogus/probable/duplicated positive case counts and deaths unrelated to COVID but tested positive or were probable or had it 2 months ago, etc) then the US blows everyone not Asian away.

Goggins 146 Posted September 21, 2020 It is obvious to anyone with a rational brain that the entire goal of COVID hysteria was to push junk mail voting so they could either steal the election outright or create enough chaos that Trump's second term will be labeled "stolen" like they did with W after 2000. Fortunately Trump should crush every swing state so hard they won't be able to manufacture enough votes without getting cought red-handed. And with his gains across the board he will likely win the popular vote as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An excess death is a death beyond the number expected. You can usually predict fairly accurately how many people will die in a month. It's actually pretty predictable. I wanted to come in and claim COVID is a hoax, so I went and looked up excess deaths above expected, and I'll be damned if it isn't right about 200k corresponding to the spikes in COVID. I still say fock a mask, but that tells me COVID deaths are probably being counted pretty accurately. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
