The only valid argument I can validate is we don't know enough about the virus and past data has not all been sorted out. (Example) Actual Covid-19 deaths someone who died from the virus attacking a human functioning system VS. someone who died from a disease and happened to have Covid-19. Those are being counted as well and are being counted as Covid-19 deaths and should not be. If this what you mean by (unintentional) statistical fraud and yes, I agree with you but if your just saying the CDC makes up numbers to simply be biased I disagree.

The CDC doesn’t make up numbers, they aggregate data from hospital systems that are economically incentivized to inflate the numbers. The question is by how much.

I like looking at closed systems like Diamond Princess and Navy carriers. Diamond Princess which skewed older and less healthy had 14 deaths. The aircraft carrier which skews younger and healthier had 1. So for easy math 14/700 for old folks, 1/1000+ for people who can go up a flight of stairs without being out of breath.

Those aren’t numbers that justify this level of panic. This is a massive money and power grab just like every other crisis the oligarchs ‘didn’t let go to waste’ over the past decades.

Sweden also shows the path. On a per capita basis we need to see about 180,000 dead. We’re almost there. The virus is over, the economic damage from it is just starting.
