#4 In a population of about 360 million. It's not the Black Plague I was promised. That took about a quarter of Europe. It hasn't even been up there with the Spanish Flu. And the reporting? Up there with the vote count. Classifying those who died with the Covid along with those who died of Covid. It is a serious disease, people are dying. It's just turned into a 'Chicken Little' scenario for power.

#5 It's a plague of misleading stats.

Lockdown and masks don't work. They just make things worse by adding a false sense of security to those at risk and a false sense of panic and wealth destruction to those not at risk.

#7 COVID-19

Season #1
Total Deaths up to 10-10-20 = 208,407

Peak was April 18th, 2020 = 17,095

Odds of getting infected were about 2.54%
Odds of dying IF infected were about 2.45%
Odds of dying in the USA Population of 342M were about 0.06093771929824561 of 1% base on most current data.

----------------------------------

Season #2
Deaths since 10-10-20 = 62,075

Season #2 Peak (SO FAR) 11-21-20 = 10,498
Which appears to be 7 to 14 days after the Elections and initial start of holiday shopping.
Followed by a decline the following weeks:
11/28/2020 8,893
12/5/2020 3,892
12/12/2020 515

Comparing the C-19 Infection cycle to the Flu
CDC FLU "TYPE" Virus Seasons typically (CDC-CONUS)
"The exact timing and duration of flu seasons can vary, but influenza activity often begins to increase in October. Most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February, although activity can last as late as May."

#8 Suggestion:
Avoid using a Panic inducing CDC Running Total.

Looking at the CDC weekly figures yourself.

You should will see the C-19's initial arrival and spread, a typical growing infection cycle, then a decline with bumps here and there based on reporting issues, Social behavior,events and weather patterns.

As we see the CONUS 2020-2021 Cold season arrive and the C-19 being a virus loving colder weather. We will see an increase and another peak in its cycle, before its decline.

IF it follows a typical FLU/VIRUS Seasonal Pattern?
We could see Peak Death numbers in January 2021.

NOTE:
My hope is the VAX does not have serious side effects, as it is now being induced into a real world environment with 5+ Billion variables.
The next Generation will tell.

#9 And Bill Gates is pushing to keep the same ineffective measures, mask & lockdown, for the next year and beyond.

#10 Masks not very effective study

Infectionwith SARS-CoV-2 occurred in 42 participants recommended masks (1.8%) and 53 control participants (2.1%).

#11 From the original WND article: So, while the CDC is adamant children under the age of 2 must NOT wear a face mask, a child who just turned 2 constitutes a mortal danger to others on the plane – and must be ejected from the plane if she just won't cover her face.

Welcome to America 2020.

#13 g(r)omgoru, can you explain why Japan and South Korea are having spikes despite both earning gold medals for their lockdowns?

#14 #13 You might want to look this up - before talking. Also look Japan & S. Korea stats: cases/million (1440 & 21) & deaths/million (865 & 12). The corresponding numbers for USA are 51,094 cases/million & 929 deaths/million (almost 1/1000).

p.s. If you look at stats of covid deaths by occupation, you might be surprised.
