Can you at least stop calling it fake?

Or a hoax. Whatever.

Maybe you believe that the pandemic is overblown. Or that the government is handling it badly. Or that it was released by or being used by some cabal to advance a new world order.

Whatever you believe a lot more people are dead than usual.

Calling it fake or a hoax is a pretty crummy reply to anyone who is ill with it, has a relative who is hospitalized, or friends/family that have died.



The US is closing in on 275,000 dead. That is closing in on the total casualties of multiple wars combined omitting WWII (more than three and a half years) and the Civil War (4 years; prior to modern medicine) - 278,854.



Yes, the elderly and unhealthy are more at risk of dying. I doubt that is any comfort to their families. Some very fit and healthy looking people are dying earlier from it too.

We haven't hit Spanish Flu numbers yet (675,000) and I hope we won't.

Uhhh you’re wrong.
No more people have died than normal, several studies have shown this. They have all been subsequently “retracted” because... you know why.

Can we stop quoting those numbers. The majority of those covid deaths had other underlying issues. I would hardly attribute covid played a significant part in the majority of the deaths that occurred. It has a survival rate of over 99% for 70 and under. And the average lifespan of human is like mid 70s. Why are we even taking this chit serious?

Also, so many tests have been proven to generate fake positives. Those numbers are not reliable at all and its annoying how no one addresses this

It's not fake.

It's not as dangerous as people are making it out to be and is being used as a political tool.


People bring up numbers but they dont bring up the number inflation and how Flu deaths are pretty much non-existent now because they are being classified as Covid. I believe all overall deaths are lower than normal right now.

I don’t think anyone is saying it’s fake.

I just think people are cognizant of the damage to the economy with such widespread and strict lockdown measures.

There needs to be a better way where we don’t bankrupt small business while protecting those at risk.

Not a hoax but blown as far out of proportion as humanly possible. It's a Flu that isn't very deadly unless you're a fat or unhealthy in general. Time to move on and stop being stupid bitches.

War deaths graph is stupid, over 600,000 people die from heart disease every year, fatties are the real problem

And I want to see a total death count for the entire country by year, 2020 should have significantly more overall than the other years if this is anywhere near the problem it's portrayed

Markus Paul of the Dallas Cowboys has not been listed as a COVID death yet that I'm aware of (it's listed as a Non-COVID medical emergency). Cause of death is pending. Not a great article to use for your point here when many believe that lots of deaths are being attributed to COVID when in reality an underlying health factor was the real cause, the person just happened to test positive for COVID.

Did you read your own link?
Briand was quoted in the article as saying, “All of this points to no evidence that COVID-19 created any excess deaths. Total death numbers are not above normal death numbers.” This claim is incorrect and does not take into account the spike in raw death count from all causes compared to previous years. According to the CDC, there have been almost 300,000 excess deaths due to COVID-19. Additionally, Briand presented data of total U.S. deaths in comparison to COVID-19-related deaths as a proportion percentage, which trivializes the repercussions of the pandemic. This evidence does not disprove the severity of COVID-19; an increase in excess deaths is not represented in these proportionalities because they are offered as percentages, not raw numbers.

I've heard way more reports of false negatives than false positives, but sure the testing is flawed and most victims had some other issue. That doesn't mean that they were at death's door already and COVID had nearly nothing to do with it. People can live for decades with diabetes or high blood pressure.

If you think the reporting on total deaths is being manipulated this is from a poster on another board who has been tracking/modeling the virus. FWIW he is a Trump supporter who thinks the election was corrupted:

I always lol at people that genuinely believe covid was responsible for even a quarter of the quoted number. Its just not true. Post the number of legitimate covid only deaths and the number would be low AF

if Obama was President these people (right wingers etc.) wouldn't call it a hoax

they'd say Obama is killed 250k+ Americans and hold a million hearings about Obama's failure and how he coordinated with China to attack America with Covid19


the only reason they dont care about 250k+ Americans dying is they cannot criticize their favorite President, or else they'd be banished from the Trump cult forever (srs)

people are calling it "fake" to bring attention to how subsequent lockdowns have completely destroyed people's lives and how government are using it as an excuse to take away your basic rights, encroaching on your freedoms and be completely at their mercy. governments have been using the tired excuse "it's because of covid!" to enforce every draconian measure under the sun.


yes people die but in Japan alone in the month of October more people have died to suicide (it's up more than normal) than Covid-19, WHO projects worldwide that many more people will starve and be thrust into poverty due to these lockdowns so you have to ask yourself are these lockdowns really worth it and are they really effective? We are looking at massive wealth transfers/inequities, high unemployment, money just being pissed away from the government like candy, increased government dependency, etc. It makes no sense that they are locking down Gen Z'ers and millenials, these will be the generations that will feel the full brunt of these lockdowns for years to come in an era where boomers already hold most of the wealth.

It’s not fake but why should I give a fuk? I’m a healthy 28 year old man... I’m more likely to be killed by a yeti than I am by covid.

Ironically it is the portion of the population which is least likely to be effected by this virus in terms of health which has been the most impacted by it (it being the regulations lol).

Let's stop calling it fake and call it by its real name. A psyop pandemic. Or maybe the stupid-and-ignorant virus. Oh I know, the common-cold-war. Pretend flu anyone? Lockdown disease kills.

Fake would be misleading. We need a great ree-eset.

Why would I worry about a virus that has to use manipulated death numbers and duplicate case numbers and politicized, hypocritical, guilt trip recommendations on "social distancing"
And you deny the election wasn't legit?
