Ok so people aren't going to the hospitals and dying. So why don't they let us know how many of these deaths are from heart attacks, strokes, cancer ect.

[bigdeek]

It's crazy how according to The C.D.C and W.H.O. "MOST people who fall sick will experience mild to moderate symptoms and WILL RECOVER WITHOUT ANY SPECIAL TREATMENT"

[hwh]

REMEMBER MOST THAT DIED HAVE UNDERLYING DISEASES...DO NOT FORGET TO MENTION THAT IMPORTANT FACT

[rednecjoe]

literally all the hospitals in Colorado are empty

[stampededbuffalo]

I can go grocery shopping but now voting by mail is suddenly imperative. Is something amiss here?

[hwh]

You news reporter knows how to use all those SENSATIONAL WORDS...lol

[johngregory]

Over 45% of the deaths are from a "review of death certificates". They also date back as far as May but are portrayed as happening yesterday. Hospitalizations and ICU occupancies are falling precipitously but deaths are remaining stubbornly high. Hmm, I wonder why that is.

You know your nuts when you wait 10 hours to get tested

[laragio]

"Carnage". A new low in journalism.

My friend lives in Florida. He knows people that dipped out of long testing lines after giving personal info. POSITIVE TEST RESULTS arrived by mail anyway. He told me that hospitals are nearly empty, too.
I don’t know what to believe anymore.

[harleybk]

Any data on the primary causes of those deaths, or useful information like their demographics ? I continue to be astonished that with all the information available that people are still living in fear of COVID. Or are they still getting their “facts” from the media? I’m especially sad for the children whose parents are teaching them to fear a risk of approximately 0%. The masks only deepen the essentially nonexistent danger. Do these parents perhaps see some benefit in raising a new generation of victimization and helplessness?

Cure for the virus: turn off the television!

[LadyIarConnacht]

Cases? You guys do realize that we ALL need to catch it eventually, right?

[jeffj]

I'm so tired of all this propaganda

[Elver_Gon]

Common flu, I had the “Virus” didn’t bother taking any medications or medical attention was working out every day jogging up to 4 miles a day and 7 days later good as new

[grinchh]

I'm 24 years old and These 4-5 months have been the worst months in my life. So depressing, and it makes it worse on me because I have anxiety and every time I wanna go out, I'm so scared. This is so scary!

[Dan-orld]

Maybe it’s because of fraudulent tests. Ever think of that?

[dobsr]

I sill haven’t personally came across someone who had or has it in Metro Detroit.

There we go with the race game it never gets old

This is a very shortened explanation of the science and facts of the situation: The death rate is dropping and the infectious rate is climbing, as always happens with every single flu/corona type pandemic. This is causes by two fundamental biological factors, first, antigenic shift (mutation) which always weakens a viruses virulence and invariably strengthen the infectiousness level. Second by natural antibody T-Cell immunization (herd immunity) which attacks, then deciphers and transcribes the viral RNA and memorizes and stores the genetic information within our own bone marrow for future recall. When under attack again from the same pathogen our immune systems understand exactly how to combat that particular microbial invader and will snuff it usually before we even know. The longer this drags on without allowing herd immunity to run its natural course through the healthy population the more the deaths numbers will accumulate among the vulnerable poor health population (simply by the length of time they're forced in isolation and Not from the virus itself.) This is how it's been happening for as long as viruses and humans have co-existed together and is well understood empirical science in the immunological/ epidemiological world for almost a century, at least until now when the politics, the media, and the science has sadly become indistinguishably the same thing and the internet is fueling the hysteria.
