Deaths is probably accurate enough. Cases, not even close.

Are they skewing the death count? Definitely, but not enough to move the needle. The biggest issue involves total cases. These death totals only come from known cases, and it's completely reasonable to say the number cases is closer to 30 million than it is to 5 million. So the death rate of infected people is grossly over reported.

True. We know the real number is higher.

Materially so, doubtful.

Cases yes, deaths, not so much. They've tried to connect any death they could to Covid.

That was my point

We have never strained at the gnat like we have with Covid

Both are higher.

The good news is that we’ve DRASTICALLY reduced deaths by influenza, heart attack, cancer, and stroke.

Suicides and murders are way up, though.

Hmmmmm

doogie

If not for the rise in suicides, murders and death due to delayed medical procedures, total deaths in the US would be down in 2020

Both are higher.

Unless we are counting suicides from depression and economic distress due to job losses and lack of social lives from Covid, you're wrong

It’s fucking pathetic how exited you get when the death toll goes up. You should probably kill yourself so they can rule it COVID and increase it further. What a legacy that would be for you...

Is this still a thing to you people? I work in an office every day and fly to Texas and Newport to do bullshit with the satellite offices.
There's traffic on the roads.

I swear if I didn't have news I would have no idea there's a pandemic aside from having to wear a shit mask into the gas station

I’m just an Old Testament guy who thinks there should be consequences for stupidity.

Are you already back home? How was Sturgis?

NY doesn't have a gubernatorial election until 2022, we shall see what consequences bear out.
