Even the CDC has determined that only 6% of the total deaths listed were actually from the virus.  In addition, we know how these numbers have been cooked to make it seem worse than it is due to financial incentives.  A proportion of the deaths were people that tested positive with Covid and were counted regardless of whether the virus had anything to do with their death.  And we all know that the most common test method (PCR) using CT's over 30 result in false positives.  So the headline is blatantly false....as long as you can still think critically.  If not, I am sure you will share it with everyone and tell them how bad things are....cause you're stupid.  No other way to put it.

But even more important is to put it into context.  That is the wildly overstated number from when they started counting which was almost 19 months ago.  Consider this...1 in 500 Americans die EVERY YEAR from heart disease.  1 in 500 Americans die EVERY YEAR from cancer.  And both those diseases have an orders of magnitude higher mortality rate.  Funny, but I don't recall shutting down the economy for hearth disease or cancer.  I don't recall calls for denying medical treatment for people that engage in lifestyles that expose them to these diseases.  Think people....use your brains.  What is important is the infection mortality rate for a given individual and it is comparable to the seasonal flu and better for the vast majority of Americans.
