RE: Media Freaking Out Over More COVID Cases, Yet 80-90% Drop in Deaths from April High

in Deep Dives4 years ago

It’s interesting how intensely people are going nuts over 2,693 deaths in a single day, in a country of 329 million people..

Numbers time, that’s .00081854% of the population. More people probably died of old age or cancer than that in a day.

Let’s use the 576 deaths now. That’s .00017508% of the population. I wonder if more people died in car accidents.

Sort:  

The media blows it up so that it's all people can think about. They also don't talk about the non-COVID-19 deaths that are the result of lockdowns and hospital services being closed, or people afraid to go to a hospital for treatment and dying at home.
