I just don't know why people want to lie to themselves about this thing. There is no benefit in that.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
No, that's not what I"m saying. I'm saying that almost all of them would not have died when they did. If the number listed is about 690,000 about that many would not have died when they did. If you just randomly select 690,000 people some of them are going to die at some point over the next year from various causes.89Hen wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 2:09 pmSo you're willing to go on record that EVERY SINGLE PERSON that died "from Covid" on Worldometers, would still be alive today if it weren't for Covid?JohnStOnge wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 2:07 pm

Just look at the video I posted. I think that guy does a great job of explaining it. I have read the CDC instructions on filling out death certificates with respect to COVID-19 and I think what he says in that video is accurate.
There really is this weird thing where, from the very beginning of this thing, many people have had this weird desire to just not believe the disease is as serious in terms of overall impact on the population as well as our health care systems as it is. I just don't get why people want to do that.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
It's not as serious as some would have you believe. 690k is a huge number, but 2,854,838 people die every year in the US regardless of Covid. There are folks who are making this out to be a zombie movie where only a couple thousand are left alive. You DID, very specifically, say that every person that died from Covid would be alive today.JohnStOnge wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 2:19 pmNo, that's not what I"m saying.

Not sure if you noticed the stats I posted showing 6% of deaths can be attributed solely to Covid. All others had contributing factors.
Bottom line is that when you see that there are (according to WorldoMeters) there have been 689,971 deaths related to COVID-19, about 689,971 people died when they otherwise would not have if they had not gotten COVID-19. This thing of saying that there are REALLY only about 689,971 x 6% = 41,398 COVID-19 deaths because of that thing where only 6% of death certificates had only COVID-19 listed reflects a total misunderstanding of what the death certificate data mean.
Listen to the guy:
That's why the stats also tell you the average death associated with the 94% of COVID deaths have 2.9 comorbidities. America is in sad shape.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
I can see that I was not careful enough in how I worded it. This is how I worded it:
What I was saying is that people would not have died when they did. If I'd have written "...died when they did..." instead of "...died when they otherwise would not have..." it would be less likely to be interpreted the way you interpreted it. But when I wrote "...died when they otherwise would not have..." I meant they died at a time at which they would not have died had they not gotten COVID-19.Bottom line is that when you see that there are (according to WorldoMeters) there have been 689,971 deaths related to COVID-19, about 689,971 people died when they otherwise would not have if they had not gotten COVID-19.

Yes it does. It also begs the question, how many died because of the interventions. There are people who aren't taking it seriously enough and there are others who are taking it too seriously.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Yes the stats are from the CDC, but they have been widely misinterpreted. For example: Somebody gets COVID-19 then they die of pneumonia. But the COVID-19 caused the pneumonia. That's not in that 6%, but it is legitimately counted as a COVID-19 death.SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 3:45 pmThe stats were from the CDC bro.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
I think it likely that there were more COVID-19 deaths than there were deaths due to interventions. I think that the "excess deaths" numbers suggest that. Look at the "Excess mortality using raw death counts" section of the piece at "https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid" as an example. A quote:
So confirmed COVID-19 deaths accounted for 58% of the excess deaths. But it's pretty much agreed that confirmed COVID-19 deaths understate the actual number of COVID-19 deaths. CDC estimates that 1 in 1.3 COVID-19 deaths are reported. That would bring the 209,000 number to 217,700. Then COVID-19 deaths would account for 75% of the excess deaths.The raw death count helps give us a sense of scale: for example, the US suffered roughly 360,000 more deaths than the five-year average between 26 January and 3 October 2020, compared to 209,000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths during that period.
Another thing to consider is the high likelihood that we would have had a lot more COVID-19 deaths without the interventions. That's where the real balance would be struck. How many MORE COVID-19 deaths would we have had without the interventions vs. how many deaths we had because of the interventions.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
If you randomly select 690k people, the avg age isn’t going to be about 80. with a half doz co morbidities like it is with Covid deaths.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
The original estimates, prior to the mandates, were like over 2 million deaths. Because the mandates worked, people started to doubt how bad covid was. All but 1 of the people I know that died from covid, would probably be alive today.

These are physicians you are debating. They fill out the death certificates, not us on the board.
And just to throw a little in the mix, you do know they changed the rules to make it easier to code a death as COVID.
https://www.bioethics.net/2020/05/cause ... -pandemic/
In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID–19 cannot be made, but it is suspected or likely (e.g., the circumstances are compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty), it is acceptable to report COVID–19 on a death certificate as “probable” or “presumed.”
The advice goes further, to say that if COVID-19 is involved, “it is likely the UCOD and thus, it should be reported on the lowest line used in Part I of the death certificate.”
What are the ramifications of such changes to death certificates?
Possibly inflated COVID-19 death counts
Perhaps (unfairly) increased federal aid to areas with inflated COVID-19 deaths
Under-reporting of other causes of death, and resulting lack of attention to appropriate health concerns
Loss of veracity in the persons responsible for completing the death certificates
Loss of trust in a system that has been manipulated
None of these is desirable, and all will cost us in the end.

Another reason mask mandates are 100% BS and should be ignored.
