I think you are confused sir. All-cause-mortality is higher than the reported number of COVID deaths, which suggests we are under-reporting. This is with lockdowns that have reduced auto deaths, accidental deaths, flu related deaths, etc. The only numbers that are up are overdoses and suicides, but those don’t offset the savings. In fact, before the virus hit the midwest, many states were reporting a yearly deficit in deaths due to the lockdowns. And remember, this is with countermeasures. What would be the worst case scenario if we hadn’t done anything? A lot worse, which is what they said all along. Not just COVID deaths, but overwhelmed hospitals would lead to large amounts of collateral deaths.
The hoax people are side-by-side with the deniers. They are almost one-in-the-same in how they seem to just not get it. What else was causing a 7.5 fold increase in all-cause-mortality? Expected deaths in New York City in one week was 1,037, and they got 7,863 deaths. What is your explanation?
Just to paint the severity in a different way, New Jersey is the worst state with 1,953 deaths per million from COVID for the year. That is one COVID death per 512 people. In New York City, their mortality is one COVID death per 244 people. Just to extrapolate to the whole country if the whole country eventually saw the same number of deaths, we would have 1.345 million people die. That number is 38 times as worse as the seasonal flu (35k average estimated deaths), and again, this is with countermeasures.
There is no way to disguise or inflate these numbers. When people deny the severity of this pandemic, they are not making a trivial error. To steal an analogy from Richard Dawkins, when describing evolution versus young-earth-creationists, it would be like saying the distance across the United States from Florida to Washington is 73 miles when it is in fact 2,802 miles.
