the CDC compiles all death statistics that show a substantial increase thus far this year (trend over proceeding years).
Lacking any other active pandemic, natural disaster, apolycypse it's believed the spike is covid related.
Once again, how about supporting your assertions with some evidence for a change? You have yet to refer us to a single source from which you derive your opinions. And without supporting evidence, all you have are......... opinions. How can anyone be taken seriously when they cannot support their assertions with real data?
You have chosen to ignore links to the CDC and Illinois Director of Public Health as to what has been happening. All while repeating 'talking points' from the very officials who would benefit the most from your point of view. That's called 'drinking the Kool-Aid'.
And did you hear that the hospital ship left New York the other day? It was rushed up there preparing to help with the predicted massive case loads caused by the Coronavirus. And do you know what happened? The ship left after less than a month and after treating only 182 patients. Another prediction gone wrong by the Kool-Aid mixers. https://nypost.com/2020/04/30/uss-comfort-departs-new-york-after-aiding-in-coronavirus-battle/
The real tragedy of this pandemic is the totally inept handling of it at all levels of our institutions. The predictions and actions by some of our leaders has been down right awful. Misstep after misstep. And the accounting is their way to cover it up. Exactly the same as it was with the Vietnam War. Ineptitude covered up by accounting practices.
And as long as enough people believe everything reported at face value, it will go on and on and on. But that doesn't make it any more true.
The original reason the Comfort was sent to NYC was to treat sick people who had non Covid 19, thereby taking pressure off hospitals overwhelmed with Covid cases. In fact patients were suppose to be tested for Covid 19 before given entry to the ship. I can assure anyone that the situation in NYC with the level of outbreak of Covid 19 is real. Hospitals have been overwhelmed, medical staff have come down sick themselves and PPD's have been in short supply. The dead cant be buried fast enough. As for the other comment about hospitals been maxed to capacity with people who run there with a "cough" Well two stories one of which is family and the other talking to the parents of a adult Covid 19 victim, again that comment is beyond a doubt false, at least here in the city. Both the people I talk of both who had pneumonia in both lungs were denied hospital admission. Both had extremely high fever for over a week, unrelenting coughing, weak to the point they could hardly walk. One of these people was a healthy 45 year old and when he finally pleaded he couldn't breath did a ambulance take him to a hospital. I agree that people should not believe everything reported at "face value". What everyone should understand is that door swings both ways
