Is that the same CDC that said that the general public SHOULDN'T wear face masks. Or is it the CDC that said that we should wear masks? How new is the science on face masks? Is that something so new that it is still in development?
So your position is that the CDC is reporting an increase in the death rate for the U.S. at this time and you are attributing that to this virus? Why not, for a change, post a link to your source? I can't find that anywhere in the CDC stats.
In reviewing the data though, I did run across another interesting wrinkle to all of this. The CDC does report more deaths at home than usual in the areas reporting the most Coronavirus cases. Now I am sure that you will interpret that to mean that people are dying at home from the virus. But the speculation at this time is that the hospitals and emergency services are overwhelmed and cannot provide the needed service in a timely manner in no small part because anyone with a cough is calling 911 and being rushed to the hospital.
Many ways to interpret the data. And many ways to collect and analyze the data. He who controls the information, controls. Just ask Kim Jung Un and Xi Jinping.
As to your last question, that very thing happens every single year with influenza. Sometimes, just as bad.
And one needs to ask, if the response to this virus was not as hyped as it is, would some of those folks who died waiting for an ambulance or an emergency room be alive today?
