The flu on a bad year that's 12 months kills 50k. This has killed 100k in a few months. No these are not the same. Glad you won't be allowed to make a decision on this.
The death count is overstated. Hospitals get more funding for each "covid death" and they have more leverage to get more resources. Reports are including "died
with covid" (e.g., virus present in the body) with "died of covid" in their body counts. The former is not correct practice and is inflating the death count.
Colorado is a great example. Guy died of alcohol poisoning (some huge alcohol content in blood). Colorado had him included in covid death count just because the virus was present in his body, although it had NOTHING to do with his death. Such an uproar arose that Colorado went back and did a quick review. Reduced its stated death count by
25%! And there is no reason to believe that other states aren't doing the same. In fact other states have been caught doing the same.
Most people with the virus are asymptomatic. This is also causing the mortality rate to be exaggerated.
Please quit following the politically driven media mass hysteria and dig deeper.
