If You Think You Died From the Flu Last Year, I Have Good News

Hey, if you still think COVID-19 death figures are reliable, as I once did, check out this neat quote from the CDC, along with a link to prove it’s real.

In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID–19 cannot be made, but it is suspected or likely (e.g., the circumstances are compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty), it is acceptable to report COVID–19 on a death certificate as “probable” or “presumed.” In these instances, certifiers should use their best clinical judgement in determining if a COVID–19 infection was likely. However, please note that testing for COVID–19 should be conducted whenever possible.

Here is your link.

Given the fact that doctors lean left and that diagnoses attract government money for hospitals, how much do you trust this policy?

It’s also important to note that a person who would not have died but for underlying conditions will be included in “coronavirus-related” deaths. To the public, that means “caused by coronavirus,” but it’s not the same thing. If you weigh 400 pounds and you’ve smoked all your life, the same flu virus that makes a kid sick for three days has a great chance of putting you in your grave.

If a diabetic smoker who can’t fit in a normal car dies after getting COVID-19, it doesn’t mean COVID-19 is a severe illness. It means all illnesses are severe to morbidly obese diabetic smokers. An ingrown toenail can lead to amputation and death.

Talking sense doesn’t work well when people are supernaturally deceived, but I plan to do it anyway.

I just saw an article from the National Review, of all sources, saying coronavirus was not like the flu. It said coronavirus had killed 42,000 Americans in one month and that the CDC said the flu had only killed something like 35,000 last season.

First of all, when I checked the CDC figures for the first time, I saw 80,000 flu deaths, not 35,000. Other people are saying the same thing and claiming the CDC is altering its site.

Second, the flu also kills many people in a short time. A flu graph has a sharp peak over a couple of months. Both diseases will kill a lot of people over a few weeks and then dissipate. COVID-19 is already going away.

Saying coronavirus kills 42,000 Americans per month is like watching a December snowstorm and screaming, “IN JULY IT WILL BE A HUNDRED FEET DEEP!!!!”

It just doesn’t work that way.

In March, the same writer could have said coronavirus was no problem because it killed fewer than 100 Americans in February. It would have made just as much sense.

We should lose something very roughly like 40,000 people in the month following the article-writer’s wacky eruption, and then we should see deaths plummet.

I have to stop reading this garbage. I think I’ll go make a nice toilet paper and hand sanitizer pizza.

Still no major celebrity deaths.
