The death rate is falling because we are testing more. In fact, in the end, the overall death rate for this virus will probably be pretty average as compared to other viruses. BUT, when you break down deaths into smaller sample sizes, for example groups of ages by say 0 to 10, 10 to 20 and so on.. you'll get a much more precise picture of how dangerous the virus is. We know by now that the death rate with Covid 19 increases as age increases. The death rate is substantially higher with older populations. This point/fact is extremely significant to the argument and if this virus and its media attention is worthy. The fact is, the attention and caution is whether you choose to believe it or not. When we hit 1 % of the US population infected, we had around 120K deaths. At 2% 240k, 3% 360k.. and so on.
  • We are losing as many Americans every 2 days now that we lost on 9/11.
  • In 6 months we are almost at 160k deaths.
  • We are seeing exponential growth now..
This is in addition to the normal causes of death. We have ICU's all over the country reaching capacity.

Mask: They do work. They are not perfect but ANY augment against them is dripping in enough cognitive dissonance we could power a large city with it. Mask have been known to reduce the spread of bacterial and viral infection. We as a civilization have known this FACT for literally hundreds and hundreds of years. It's not a conspiracy to take down a President or take away anyone's liberties, its a mitigating tool and it works. Period.
With an increasing mortality rate with age I wonder how many of the C19 victims would have died of other causes in the next 12 months without a C19 infection. Will we see an increase in the number of deaths or will we simply skew the numbers of deaths to the left and then see a dip before we return to normal post C19?
