Something is going on to cause all the additional deaths. I can almost put my finger on it...


Where are you getting your 'facts'? According to the CDC, last year 34,000 died from the flu. But the year before, 61,000 died. With the grossly inflated mortality rates, this virus is mild compared to that. Any and all deaths are being contributed to this thing, whether it played a role or not. And by any standard applied, somewhere around 99% of those infected, survive. We should care about the truth so we can make informed decisions.

Here is the CDC's own numbers on the flu; https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html

And now, there is evidence that some deaths have happened was because of incorrect treatments. Blood oxygen levels appear to be a much better indicator of a patient's condition. By time they are struggling to breath and put on a ventilator, it's often too late.

The facts are coming to light, but sometimes you have to look harder than the television to find them.
