I don't know if this is true or not.
More Reasons Not To Fear COVID – William M. Briggs As usual, we appreciate your critical review of the study. As usual, I present it here since you won't see it elsewhere.
I do know that in a country where it is normal for 2.7-3 million people to die every year, 300K is not "a bunch more people," especially considering the greater picture.
Again, in the US, the Deadly Covid-19 Pandemic has killed 251,715 out of a population of 328,239,523, for a DC19 of 0.0767%. In 2018, there were a total of 2,839,205 deaths in the US (for some reason, 2019 is not available yet).
In the UK, the Deadly COVID-19 Pandemic has killed 53,775 out of a population of 67,866,000, for a DC19 of 0.079%. In 2018, there were a total of 541,589 deaths in England and Wales.
And please remember that anybody who falls off a ladder or gets killed in a car wreck that tests positive for the Deadly COVID-19 Virus appears in the first number, so that the real percentage is lower. MUCH FUCKING LOWER.
