That "Millions" estimate was thoroughly debunked as junk science. And the actual death numbers are in legitimate skeptical question over deaths FROM COVID vs deaths WITH COVID. Particularly the 2.2 million estimate was absolute bonkers science from "a guy" (Ferguson) who had a history of inflating predicted death numbers way over 1000% of the actual death numbers.
"When it came to dealing with an unexpected surge in infections and deaths from SARS‐CoV‐2 (the virus causing COVID-19 symptoms), federal and state policymakers understandably sought guidance from competing epidemiological computer models. On March 16, a 20‐page report from Neil Ferguson’s team at Imperial College London quickly gathered enormous attention by producing enormous death estimates. Dr. Ferguson had previously publicized almost equally
sensational death estimates from mad cow disease, bird flu and swine flu."
Many of those numbers include comorbidity and some autopsies show people simply had Covid with no external symptoms. We won't know if these people would have died naturally without Covid this year until we see the annual death rate in January 2021. Regardless, it's not a reason to exercise this level of authoritarianism. I don't care where you fall on the political spectrum.
Not to mention flu-like deaths also had an unnatural spike from March-May due to retarded liberal policies forcing young people with COVID to live in retirement homes. Like that 20 year old Whitmer put in with a 70 year old where the 20 year old Covid patient beat the living shit out of the 70 year old. Retarded policies. Far more dangerous than the flu. Government literally killing off old people. It's no surprise that the states with the highest COVID deaths are the ones with Democrat Governors. The correlation is blatantly obvious. Retarded ass policies poorly crafted and based off of junk science from "trusted sources"
Even Cuomo has been under fire for that policy.
"Of the 44 hardest-hit congressional districts – the top 10% in terms of deaths – 41 are represented by Democrats, while three are represented by Republicans. These include the New York-area districts, as well as those in the Boston, Detroit and New Orleans metropolitan areas. The average death toll in each of these hardest-hit districts was 1,122 as of May 20."
"The next 100 hardest-hit districts, which represent the remainder of the top third of districts, with an average of 270 deaths, also are disproportionately represented by Democrats: 75 are represented by Democrats, 25 by Republicans."
COVID19 isn't my biggest worry. An authoritative technocrat is though. Remind me to never make plans to retire in a blue state for the next scamdemic. I value my life too much to have retarded governors and mayors placing infected people near me.
Pardon me while I pass on the panicjuice regarding the "serious nature" of this virus.
