PLEASE not the "600,000 is a hoax" answer... sigh

600,000 did not die from the virus. All states were incentivized to put Covid on death certificates and health departments reported deaths that way. My friend in Illinois lost her mother at 93. She didn’t have Covid yet the death certificate said that’s what she died from. Cancer flu heart disease accidents etc got reported as Covid. Wonder how many autopsies were done to investigate further.

A friend just attended a music festival out of state. Before she returned she had a PCR test and sent me a copy the test stated negative but then below that it states that PCR tests have a false positive and false negative 4/7 times.This was 3 days ago I was shocked at that form, performed at Emory hospital in Atlanta.

Don’t believe everything you hear in the media. The media hates our governor so they attack him on everything. If this country was so worried about Covid they would stop the hundreds of thousands of illegals crossing our border. No vaccinations for them and their not even wearing masks. But in NYC you can’t sit in a restaurant unless your vaccinated. Wake up people. Rules for some and none for others. Before you all jump down my throat I’m for vaccinations. Ask yourself why the double standard?

Get vaccinated. Why don’t you call the White House and ask them why hundreds of thousands can cross the border with no vaccine or even a mask but I have to show a negative test when I return from international travel. Why the double standard. Why is it harder for a US citizen to enter this country than a illegal

NOT TRUE! From the Lancet, a respected medical journal:

The presentation of patients with COVID-19 and seasonal influenza requiring hospitalization differs considerably. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is likely to have a higher potential for respiratory pathogenicity, leading to more respiratory complications and to higher mortality. In children, although the rate of hospitalization for COVID-19 appears to be lower than for influenza, in-hospital mortality is higher;

Love your attitude. The 3rd leading cause of death is MEDICAL errors.

The death numbers from 2020 do not support this information

[Flillini]

I had covid. Had the chills for about half day. Lost sense of smell. Had a cough for couple of days. Nothing compared to times I had the flu. No problems since then.

[Flillini]

Amazing how flu and common cold have all but disappeared!?

[hrenner]

It is NOT more deadly. If a person is HOSPITALIZED that statistic may be true, but the vast majority of flue patients are NOT hospitalized. Flue is NOT MORE DEADLY

The death numbers from 2020 have been shown multiple times in various threads. What do you mean they don’t support this information and what data do you have for that assertion?
