And speaking of truth...

This will be quick.

Ya know those 180,000+ who died from the Chinese Floozy?

Well, they didn't.  According to the CDC, the "updated" figure who were killed is (grab something nailed down) 9210.

5%. And that will probably go lower. Estimates of the real total are between 1/2 and 1/5 of 1%.

So all the pain and bankruptcies and fear and dislocation were all lies.

Heads must roll.

The whole shutdown was supposed to derail the Trump train. What next?

Do you have a link for that?

Another great post ed.

Your posts are uniformly informative, concise and interesting.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Another source for that figure.

Note also the CDC is backtracking on the number of deaths, also. They use 153,504, not the 187,055 usually cited.

There's also a report off Insty by the (are you ready?) the Gray Lady that 90% of all positive cases in this country are false.

Forget Watergate. This is the Mother of all Cover-Ups.

Mostly semantics, IMO. A large fraction of WuFlu deaths were people over 80 and/or with comorbidities (obese, diabetic, immune-compromised, bad heart etc.). In other words, they were going to die of the next serious health challenge that came along. But that doesn't mean they weren't killed by WuFlu.

A more solid case for the over-reporting of deaths arises from the fact that local governments and healthcare facilities have a financial incentive to report deaths as WuFlu deaths. This story is one of many on that subject.

And of course, for many of them, there's a political incentive as well.

This flu should have been evaluated like civil lawsuits. An 85 year old dies, few if any years lost. A 20 year old dies, many years lost. Math makes it more logical.

Bending the curve is 2020's version of the arc of history: Meaningless sniveldrivel that was allowed to harden into the shape of reality. The hardworking people of America will now have to cart it away. Again. Because the morons won't do it.
