Why is no one talking about the fact that we have seen a steady decline in overall covid deaths for 6 weeks now?

BECAUSE THE PANDEMIC IS A HOAX, and is the regular ol Corona virus just like 2019, 2018, etc.

CORONA virus has "cured" influenza; as no one died from influenza since April 2020.

I don't think that is true. This virus is indeed serious and should be taken as such. It's just not Spanish Flu levels of serious. We just have to keep our elderly indoors and safe for maybe 8 or 9 more months while younger and middle aged people get back work. If you are relatively young and healthy this thing has about one half of one percent odds off killing you.

I gotta agree with this. I suspect I had it in mid-March. It was, for me, a severe headcold, that didn't even seem to touch my lungs. That being said, it took about a week longer to get over than a typical cold, and I was short of breath for a couple weeks after that, when doing things like housework. Oddly enough only times I find myself short of breath now is when I have to wear a mask. I don't think it's super-dangerous or super-deadly, but I think it is probably hella contagious...for example, I can't figure out where I would have caught it from.

You're not exactly describing something that warrants a complete lockdown of 2.5 billion people; like we just went through.

True, but hella contagious means it IS likely dangerous for elderly or otherwise incapacitated. I'm in my mid-thirties, healthy as a horse, no big deal for me.
I kinda feel like complete lockdown is overkill. I got a feeling this is gonna be like chickenpox - everyone gets it, eventually. All lockdown does is make sure everyone doesn't get it all at once. (flatten the curve)

I don't think that is true.

If this was indeed a deadly superbug, then there would be no need to gin up the death count, by reclassifying the cause of deaths in death certs to Covid, cause people would have actually died from it.

Instead, they made fake news videos of full hospitals, etc.
That's the very definition of a hoax.

Very interesting point about the influenza deaths. Do you know of a place to view raw data on death statistics?
