Who has the most to gain by cooking the books? They are getting cooked big time in the blue states. Follow the money. I doubt many that have researched the sources of information buys what is being sold. If they do they are being led astray. Birx isn't even buying the numbers coming out of the CDC per WaPo.

I looked at it a little differently. Went to the CDC site and added up all of the COVID-19 cases and deaths for the top 10 Blue and Red States. Here is what I came up with: NY, NJ, IL, MA, CA, PA, MI, CT, CO and MD added up to 905,437 cases with 57,087 deaths for a ratio of deaths to cases of .0631%. FL, TX, GA, LA, IN, VA, TN, NC, IA, and AZ adds up to 257,860 cases with 10,623 deaths for a ratio of deaths to cases of .0412%. I guess one could say that you have a 50% larger chance of dying if you live in a Blue State. Not sure what that means. Oh, by the way our backward, hillbilly, banjo playing state of Tennessee had the lowest rate out of all twenty. .0164%

That's exactly what they're saying. And yet people just continue to go along with it and shout anyone down that disagrees with the narrative being pushed by some. This thing is not that big of deal. But people want us afraid, so they continue to tell us about all these deaths while ignoring the facts about them.

I don't expect it to change your mind, but I did a little bit of digging into how much of a factor this was in distorting the number. At least in New York, most of the deaths were real.

I get the feeling that most shouting from the mountain top about it being a scam are from more rural counties. I’m fine opening up, and we have. But our county just had 100+ new cases overnight. It’s not going away, and people have to realize things won’t be normal for a while. TN has done a really good job even in the most populated counties.

100 new cases, mostly of people who will recover and be absolutely fine. Most people who have this thing don’t even have symptoms. This thing has an above 99% survival rate. If you’re not about to die anyway, you will be fine

That’s not a scam though. There are plenty of people who died or severely effected who weren’t about to do die.

I should have shown better restraint, which I have been able to do a lot recently. But people need to try to walk in other’s shoes. That’s what I don’t get.

It is a scam when you’re fudging the numbers claiming car wrecks as covid deaths and driving up the fear based upon fake inflated numbers

It’s all about funding. The more covid claims or the longer a state is on lockdown the more funding the hospital or state receives.

Yea, you can believe that or not. But generally, many people are dying from it. I don’t really care if it’s off by 5. There are very likely people that have died from it that haven’t been counted either.

You and I are more similar than we are different, but you hang on to something and don’t let go. The whole deal is not a scam.

I didn’t say the whole deal is a scam. The fear tho is unwarranted. Examine the deaths. The vast majority who have died are very elderly or had a severe underlying condition. Again, this virus has an above 99% survival rate. Why the fear? Why shut down the economy and cost 40 million their jobs?

Bass, I am very healthy and if I died from covid-19, I would have an underlying condition. Over half of America has an underlying condition.

Also, right now, people are being paid more for unemployment. Those jobs can be had or will be back soon.

The data does not show that middle aged people who get this thing die because of some hidden underlying condition. The vast majority of people have NO symptoms. The people who are dying are again, extremely elderly, or would have died this year anyway, or would have died if they got the flu as well. Then there’s the fake covid deaths. Continued lock downs are nonsensical.

That’s an argument. Not factual. I have high blood pressure at 40. It’s genetic. That would be an underlying condition. Over half of America either has high blood pressure or is obese. Some young people have asthma. Many people that are dying werent expected “to die this year.” That’s fabricated.

Also, I said I was fine with opening. But people out in the country are perfectly fine. Life won’t be normal for a while.

Sure, they do. But that doesn’t mean you live life like normal when a contagious virus is in the country.

I’m not advocating for a continued shutdown, and I’ve made that clear. But this thing isn’t a “scam.” I roll my eyes at comments like that.

You guys enjoy the evening.
