This is another quick contextual update on the latest round of COVID propaganda.
According to the federal CDC, there were 2,839,205 deaths in the U.S. in 2018 which equals 7,778.6 per day – that’s right, way before COVID in 2018 there were over 7,700 deaths per day.
Current daily deaths attributed to COVID, according to the widely used covidtracking.com, are 2,472 on a seven day average. It’s important to note that the CDC tells us that the “excess death” number, those in this year that exceed a several year average normed for population growth, is only 300,000. This means that the great majority of deaths attributed to COVID would have happened this year anyway.
It is important to realize that the excess death rate is based upon a multi-year average of deaths in the U.S. and given that deaths in 2018 alone were 2,839,205, an excess death rate of three hundred thousand is only about a ten percent increase over how many died in 2018.
So tell me, is there legitimacy to all the stories about funeral homes being completely overrun and space being unavailable to store bodies because so many are dying from WuFlu?
If you think those panic-inducing stories are a true representation of conditions, then you believe that a ten percent increase in annual deaths, from any cause, can cripple our country.

That is fanciful at best.
