JFC I can't believe we still have to explain this to people. Do you not know how to process information? You keep saying **** that flat out isn't true.

Nice slight of hand but that is not the graph discussed. Way to try and cherry pick NYC data though, which we've already shown/discussed had different problems. Likely related to the treatment received by the people who are supposed to be helping the patients. I will counter your cherry picked data with that from every state. With excluding just New York the Deaths per million in the US would be just 10 per 100,000.
In addition, these curves are also almost symmetric, so the death rate is going to drop rapidly. The total deaths (area under the curve) will not differ much from the flu. It just means this thing is really contagious and burned through very quickly, which we knew.

it’s worth asking yourself - why is a website devoted to the Austrian School of Economics writing articles pushing the misleading idea that Covid-19 is “just the flu”? It seems like a political agenda to me.
Lmao, imagine ******* up so bad that you post multiple times about how the CDC is not a government agency and then coming back with this post.
Weird how nobody is being forced to do any of those things.
Deleted several posts that were over the line - please stop.
I'm following the virus on one other forum, it's the only two I really participate in. By coincidence, the thread on the other forum went from borderline useless to completely off the rails yesterday, this one today. Both were over a single joke.
People are starting to crack up.

Fair enough. I’m late in joining in but the actual objective real facts remain the same from what I see.
Well, they are manipulative and callous but they aren't actually stupid enough to believe all of their public positions BS. It's more politics than real beliefs or convictions.
Of course there hasnt been good discussion. Always turns into Left vs Right but as far as I can tell the virus doesnt care who u vote for.
Except the employees of those restaurants.
More good news:
RNA testing sensitivity is what has given the impression the COVID virus could reactivate or reinfect people who have already had it. But this is apparently not the case.
