We (The US) are flagrantly exaggerating the Corona Virus deaths. Just two quick examples: Google the CDC web site and see the actual four page instructions for filling out death certificates. It includes such exact instructions as "...if it is probable or even possible that the subject had covid-19 ...." count them. No tests or autopsy required. Two years ago we had 81,000 deaths from flu. Last year 36,000. Look up this year's numbers. They are ZERO! Any flu like symptoms are being classified as corona virus! The approved hospital reimbursement for a Covid-19 patient is $19,000. Routine flu reimbursement is capped at $6,000. Which one do you think that the struggling hospitals are going to use?
So you are saying that the current administration who is in charge of the CDC is lying to us. Regurgitation of comments from a Fox News contributor on the Laura Inghram show is your argument? A world conspiracy to get Trump out of office and rip off the government.

So yes, I am a realist. By the way, those comments didn't quite check out. At least this organization sources their facts.
