The US has 1/6th of the Covid-19 deaths worldwide, but only 1/24th of population.

This assumes they all are telling the truth including the United States. These numbers mean nothing to me. They all lie.

The numbers are jacked. They have been manipulated and massaged from the jump, and are meaningless. As a result the real, true numbers will never be known.

All but the stupidest, most obtuse among us know this.

Other countries probably don't test car accident victims for covid, then if positive call it a covid death. US death data is died while having covid, not died from covid.

of course #s are messed up all over. Was just reading about Pakistan, who have entire Taliban controlled regions of forced anti-vaxxers - no shots allowed for anyone. 200+ million people crammed into an area barely bigger than Texas. Less than 1% with a vax. Only 18k deaths. Even if this was "just a bad flu" that's a way undercount. Just pointing out nobody, no government, no medical organizations, really know what's going on.

"For over 5% of these deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned on the death certificate. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 4.0 additional conditions or causes per death.*"

CDC changed the #s and revised the deaths way down and the comorbidities way up. This is still real but much less deadly than first thought or reported. Still, the left wing news has people scared and the government and drug companies are putting the shots in 2 year olds (now 6 month olds) where there is 0 evidence this virus is a problem for them. Moderna has never released a vaccine until this and now they are billionaires. This is one of the biggest scams in history.

Using the CDC's numbers. 584k total deaths of people with a positive PCR test for covid19, or covid listed in some way on tje death certificate. 95% of those people had another cause of death listed on the death certificate. 5% are people the CDC said died with only corona virus listed as a cause of death. 25,200 people over 2 flue seasons died with corona virus listed as the cause of death. Of those people, that age was older than the average age of death.

If you don't have an average of 4 serious deadly comorbidities, are not older than the average age of death, are not vitamin D and zinc deficient, your chance of dying from covid are very, very, very low.

Never underestimate the power of the government to fiddle the numbers. If the Feds push the hospitals to fudge the numbers, they fudge if they want to stay in the good graces of the cash cow.

We also are the FATTEST nation on the earth (I am one of those). It is known that obesity is a large (pun slightly intended) factor in the severity of the infection.

When this pandemic was in the early stages last year, I happened to have a medical appointment. My doctor and I were discussing the infection and he stated that if the ACE enzyme was indeed the vector for the disease, he expected that Asians would be contracting the disease more than Caucasions followed by Black. That is simply genetics. He mentioned that doctors have to take race into consideration in medications noting that there are a number of ACE inhibitors that don't work on Blacks but do work on other populations.

Now take into consideration the obesity of those populations and that adds the twist of it might be harder to contract, but when it does it hits like a ton of bricks due to the co-morbidity you may have.

It is amazing how easy to fool the Tv watchers are.

Crazy what's happening in India as they embrace Ivermectin and HCQ. Their cases are falling as fast as ours were in early January after about two weeks of the protocol.

[Whiterabbit]

You got the data on that? All I see is a hit piece against both from QZ.com and lots of reports that HCQ was in wide use since last summer

[SanDiego619]

They are saying 578k deaths from covid, but the real number is 5% of that so more like 29k deaths.

That's only 0.00876% deaths per capita! Pretty good!!!

[Epaphroditus]

We over count and they under count. Simple.

Because the US was targeted by a Chinese made bioweapon with the intent of putting a CCP puppet in charge of US policy?

Anyone asking why the US intel agencies sat on solid intel about some employees of the Wuhan lab seeking hospital care in late 2019 while Trump was president? Why is the WSJ just now revealing this intel which was kept from the previous president?
