What do you mean you can't read it?

The point of the chart that I posted is to show progression over the months. Your chart completely excludes that and lumps everything together, thus the data is meaningless since it lumps all the months together.

I mean I think it's beyond clear that this was the point of my OP.

Maybe I should change the title.

Edit: Too late, I can't change the title.

yours ALSO lumps everything together, the overall rates have dropped over time as we've been testing more...everyone is aware of that.

Yours is hard to read in that it's low res and can't even see where the rates land...old people at 4%ish?...the rest at around .5%?

Very interesting article.


According to Briand, “The reason we have a higher number of reported COVID-19 deaths among older individuals than younger individuals is simply because every day in the U.S. older individuals die in higher numbers than younger individuals.”

Briand’s analysis found that the range of deaths amongst the older population has remained within the range of past years.

So, if COVID-19 has actually had no significant impact on U.S. deaths, why does it not appear that way?


However, when taking a closer look at the death numbers, she noted something strange. As Briand compared the number of deaths per cause during that period in 2020 to 2018, she noticed that instead of the expected drastic increase across all causes, there was a significant decrease in deaths due to heart disease. Even more surprising, as seen in the graph below, this sudden decline in deaths is observed for all other causes.


The study found that “This trend is completely contrary to the pattern observed in all previous years.” In fact, “the total decrease in deaths by other causes almost exactly equals the increase in deaths by COVID-19.”

So the most devastating impact of Covid is that it kill 10% of the people 85+ years old that it infects.

Which is itself an undoubtedly INFLATED number because tons of those deaths are likely incidental. People who are dying as they normally would be, but happen to have the Covid virus in their body.

Plus, 10% does not mean 10% of the population. It means 10% of the people over 85 who are believed to have the covid virus, have died.

90% did not.

And the numbers just shrink from there as you go backward in age.

yea so why are you so afraid? 99.9% survival rate for you and your family, so we shut everything down? ...what? Tiddy people die for a million different reasons every single day. Less people have died this year than in 2018 in the USA. WHY are you still on board with this?

90% survival for very old people is actually a great rate too... the flu knocks them over at a similar rate. Anything does really.

My grandparents are in their late 80s and lonely and I cant even visit them. My grandma even calls it bullshit. I havent been allowed to even go to a restaurant until recently and sit down and eat.

Not everyone lives in Texas. There are tighter travel restrictions in other areas.

Anyway, I'm personally not talking about restrictions per se. I'm talking about the sheer idiocy of buying into this obviously sensationalised propaganda.

You were one of the people who did, and probably still do. "Omg, the old people dying in the same number as they were in every other year. That means you dont care about them! Because covid!"

You're just wrong and stupid about this whole thing, and you won't admit it.


That's why we can't have nice things.

Because guys like you, and MillerTime, and The Man, and Bladefd, and all the rest... you're gullible and partisan, and when you're proven to be foolish or hypocritical, you just dig your toes in and refuse to admit you were wrong. And so the partisan divide continues. Because government authorities on 'your side' will keep pushing nonsense, knowing you'll never call them out on it since you'd have to admit you were a bozo. And they can keep us divided.

Racist Gavin Newsom demands that everyone in California eat outside their homes in the cold weather, 6 feet apart from everyone, with our facemasks on and only to be taken off if we choose to eat, but we can't chew without a facemask on. We must log everyone's name and address that shows up to our homes, talk and sing quieter than a normal talking voice, and this gathering can't last more than two hours. But we have to make sure this is all done before the 10 pm curfew, or he will threaten to turn off the power in our home. And these are just some of the recently implemented communist laws.

0% chance of being enforced? So you're saying all of Commiefornia isn't enforcing this? Every county, every cop? Why do you democrats/communists continue to talk out of your ass? It is enforced, just not at 100%. And these communist laws should of never even been thought of in the United States of America.

Here's something amusing that happened in Texas:



Williamson County judge pleads guilty to violating his own stay-at-home order, has to pay $1K fine (https://www.kxan.com/news/local/williamson-county/wilco-judge-pleads-guilty-to-violating-his-own-stay-at-home-order-has-to-pay-1k-fine/)

Dumb bureaucrat abusing his power passes a shutdown law for the plebs, and then immediately turns around and violates it himself. Neighbor notices it and calls the cops :lol

The point is, if the laws existed, the government has the authority to enforce them at their discretion. Most peoples families won't get in trouble, but what about some citizen who's a vocal critic of some public official? Official places a few calls, and suddenly some guy gets arrested on Thanksgiving for because he's been critical of the town comptroller.

Thank you Manny98, your chart is inline with my chart, and you seem to be able to understand that the other chart lumps all the China Virus deaths together, including those at the beginning of the "Plague."

Wrong again. I said his IFR numbers are incorrect - and they are.

COVID-19 has a higher death rate than seasonal flu in the elder half of the population, but not the younger half. What's important to look amount of life lost. Median age of death w/ COVID is above average life expectancy.

On average, people who die with COVID-19 lived longer than people who died without COVID-19.

100,000 dead children is much different than 100,000 dead 80 year olds dying of natural deaths (who were already dying of other illnesses).

But... what's more important here is the response to a virus that was already spreading in 2019. Slow the spread so hospitals aren't overwhelmed? It's hospitalization rate is LOWER than seasonal flu. We needed to keep hospitalizations under 10.3 million over 12 months; we're currently at 0.75 million after 9 months (for comparison, the 2017-2018 flu hospitalized 0.8 million in roughly 4 months).

We should have opened everything in April when hospitals were empty and field hospitals were torn down after seeing zero patients.

We're destroying our children, our youth, our future, our country (and what it stands for), and doing our best CCP impression, buying into China's propaganda. Trump's team took the bait - don't be stupid like them.

If youre going to say that the people who are skeptical about the lockdowns and fatality rates "dont care about old people"... Then by your own logic, the people who let their fear of the virus dictate their actions and advocate for harsher lockdowns and more restrictions -


dont care about the skyrocketing rates of depression/anxiety or the skyrocketing number of suicides

dont care about the skyrocketing rates of drug abuse/relapse/overdose

dont care about increasing rates of abuse for women and children who are trapped indoors all day with their abusers

dont care about the millions of americans who cannot pay rent and will be evicted the moment these eviction moratoriums end

dont care about the countless people who have lost their life savings or the small business they spent years or decades building.

I'll gladly take responsibility for all those dead seniors if lockdown supporters are willing to take responsibility for all the death/pain/suffering they are causing with their policies.

What does a 9pm curfew entail? what are the details? Does that just mean restaurants and bars have to shut down at 9pm?
The curfew was the dumbest idea ever. We just came from a summer where tensions between the police and the people were boiling over. The curfew grants police ridiculous power to stop anyone they want to after 10pm for "public safety".

Literally, the curfew in california is that... no one is supposed to leave their home after 10pm unless they have an essential worker or emergency reason. It's not being enforced like that... thank goodness.

I dunno exactly what it entails, and I dont really think its legally enforceable (like most of these lockdown rules)... I just know that my governor says that you arent supposed to be outside of your house after 9pm unless you are an "essential worker" or its an "emergency"

restaurants and bars are already shut down, so thats not the purpose... the curfew is supposedly intended to prevent average citizens from being outside of their house for any reason whatsoever

That does sound stupid to me...like covid is more contagious when the sun goes down for some reason?

I can understand breaking up overly packed night clubs and bars where drunk people are shoulder to shoulder yelling at each other over loud music, so if that is the overall thought process behind the curfew...okay I guess. But outside of the late night party crowd I don't I don't see the point.

PrimeTime: I’m against lockdowns. There are no places even locked down right now to my knowledge.

Non crazy person: Actually there are millions of people in multiple states under lockdown right now.

PrimeTime: What’s your definition of lockdown?

It is incredibly stupid... the bars are already shut down, aside from private house parties nobody is out late at night partying right now.

The idea that covid is more contagious when the sun goes down is especially laughable considering my city (Portland, the only thing resembling a big city in the entire state) recently had nightly "mostly peaceful" protests (aka riots) for 100+ days straight, and never once did our governor say anything about the covid rammifications of these riots. Virtually every single night, starting at George Floyds death and ending around the election, there were hundreds of anarchists out on the streets until 1 or 2 am trying to burn down a court house or police station or whatever other building they were angry at.... but the curfew only started a couple weeks ago now that the protests are finally done.

If youre going to say that the people who are skeptical about the lockdowns and fatality rates "dont care about old people"... Then by your own logic, the people who let their fear of the virus dictate their actions and advocate for harsher lockdowns and more restrictions -


dont care about the skyrocketing rates of depression/anxiety or the skyrocketing number of suicides

dont care about the skyrocketing rates of drug abuse/relapse/overdose

dont care about increasing rates of abuse for women and children who are trapped indoors all day with their abusers

dont care about the millions of americans who cannot pay rent and will be evicted the moment these eviction moratoriums end

dont care about the countless people who have lost their life savings or the small business they spent years or decades building.

I'll gladly take responsibility for all those dead seniors if lockdown supporters are willing to take responsibility for all the death/pain/suffering they are causing with their policies.

Add seniors dying alone, dying without a funeral, millions of them prevented from seeing their friends/family, and all the revenue lost to pay for Medicare & social security.

These lockdown/mask advocates had no plan in April, May, June, July, August, September, and October. No clear achievable goal/objectives.

100 million infections and counting. (https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/11/26/939365087/government-model-suggests-u-s-covid-19-cases-could-be-approaching-100-million)Viral spread completely out of control w/ mask use at all-time high (92%+ nationally). (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/2020/10/poll-increasing-bipartisan-majority-americans-support-mask-wearing/)

The entire point of slowing the spread was to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed.

We needed to keep hospitalizations under 10.3 million over 12 months; we're currently at 0.75 million over 9 months. (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?481119-New-York-Times-These-Places-Could-Run-Out-of-Hospital-Beds-as-Coronavirus-Spreads/page2)

It's going to be interesting to see the historians write about this.

22 million people gathered for George Floyd, largest protest in history. ZERO known covid-19 hospitalizations/deaths linked it (many non-covid hospitalizations/deaths linked to it tho lol)

"Well it's ok most had a piece of cloth on their face just like the people of Peru did as they hit #1 in covid deaths/capita worldwide"

Yeah, I'm sure none of those 22 million people gathered privately in homes/cars before/after commuting to/from the gatherings. :rolleyes:

Where would you say the restrictions are most severe? Id kinda like to see how the people in the worst areas are doing. What is still closed?

Well I'm in California.

8.5 months (and counting) of:

-6 million children shut out of school (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4vkJp0Nw28)
-My local gym has been shutdown almost entire time
-Movie theaters, concerts, shows, and sporting events shut down, and in turn, all the businesses surrounding these things are shut down, and many who supply/work with these businesses
-family dying alone in hospitals, no funerals
-masks required virtually everywhere
-intl travel still banned
-walmart, target, amazon open 100% entire time

again, the entire point of slowing the spread was to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed. We needed to keep hospitalizations under 10.3 million over 12 months; we're currently at 0.75 million over 9 months and roughly the same number of predicted infections back in March. Let me know what you think about the data.

The widespread claims that the massive BLM protest groups didnt spread the virus are pretty hilarious (the lockdown protests and trump rallies are highly contagious tho).

To me the most hilarious protest related covid claim was that article that said according to the "expert" "scientists" - "BLM protests may have slowed the spread of covid in Denver and other cities"

https://coloradosun.com/2020/06/30/police-protests-coronavirus-spread/


The researchers found that protests correlated with a net increase in overall stay-at-home behavior in cities where they occurred — and the increase was larger in cities that saw more sustained protests or reports of violence.

I think these "researchers" are on to something, in order to fully vanquish covid, we just need to fill the streets with enough violence and terror that people will be terrified to leave their homes!
