601,949 Americans dead, 3,432,033 worldwide, both undercounts, let that sink in

Probably best to stay home and not risk going anywhere…and don’t forget to triple mask.

LOL!!

Who stated they’re both undercounts? Fauci and the W.H.O.? A couple of sources that really dropped the ball, and still haven’t been held accountable for their complete incompetence and the millions of deaths they’re responsible for. What is the death toll in the U.S. and the rest of the world related to the average flu? Where’s the morbid death numbers on this?

The WHO has said, along with multiple other epidemiologist organizations in the past, that the death rate is likely much higher than has officially been reported for a myriad of logistical, medical, and social reasons. See below for a recent article.

The CDC estimates that an average of 36,000 people died of the flu each year over the past decade. The worst recent flu season was 2017-2018, when 61,000 people died from the flu.

Covid is much deadlier and easier to spread, which is why the flu numbers are so much lower.

Interesting. “The state recently determined some reported cases were duplicates”. What? if you multiply that by every county in this nation that would be a dramatic drop in the count. This has been questionable from the start.


About three months back I know a family who lost their Grandmother to cancer, She passed from it. She did get COVID-19 last year, but recovered. Recently her husband was contacted by the county saying they wanted reclassify her death as COVID-19 related. Her Husband and family said “Absolutely not”. This calls a lot of things into question.
