Lol, I love the casual goalpost switch, like you can't even remember what you claimed 20 minutes ago.

First it was that deaths haven't changed. Then I showed you actual data showing it definitely has. Now your response is that deaths need to double before it's considered deadly?

I don't know the numbers of people that have died in 2020 and neither do you. I am going with what this article says and another one I briefly read. I'm not moving the goalposts at all.

Again moron, if covid 19 is such an effective killer then why hasn't the number of deaths in the US increased dramatically. We normally have ~2.5 million deaths per year, if it hasn't increased tremendously then covid is not a threat to the US population.

Show me the bodies in the streets.

Genius, those are CDC numbers. They even acknowledge that they're CDC numbers in the article. The main difference is that the article lies and says total deaths haven't increased, when the CDC maintains a website specifically for this year's excess deaths which shows that they definitely have. And they have actual numbers, too. In total, we've had about 400,000 more people die this year than should be expected.

I do have the numbers. Set whatever arbitrary standards for "deadly" that you want, just don't act like it's some great mystery just because you personally suck at looking up data.

    You will fit right in here on Saidit, because holy shit you are dumb as fuck. Your grammar is terrible, and you're asking to be spoonfed information while contributing nothing to the conversation, and acting like a win when you're not entertained, even when it's explained to you in plain terms why it's not worthwhile.

    Also, we're at well over a million dead. We'd be at 10s of millions dead were it not for the shutdowns. Why don't you go subscribe to Candace Owens, because it seems like the two of you think at the same level.

      A virus with a 1% fatality rate infects 2 billion people? How many people die?

      You do seem to struggle with basic math, so let me try to lay this out (again), in the hopes that you're finally able to process weekly vs. daily data.

      A week is 7 days. Every week since April, deaths have been significantly higher than they were for the same week last year. That means the same trend applies to individual days, on average. In fact, if you even could find a day in a week where deaths in 2020 weren't higher than in 2019, you would have to have another day in that same week where the difference was even more extreme than the weekly average to make up for it.

      That's basic math, yet you still seem to struggle to understand it. Why am I not giving you what you're asking for? Because you're not a data analyst; you're just another tard on Saidit who is seemingly too stupid to understand how averages work. I will, however, happily tell you how stupid you are until it finally clicks for you. That service is free.
