Death Analysis
Northstar : I know and am sorry that your life has been tragically touched by this virus.
So please don’t take this as trivializing your experience. Again my condolences.
That IS a very interesting graphic.
Wow what technology for death statistics.
Covid had caused more deaths than a lot of “minor” categories .
But those other categories are NOT major causes of death
Where are Cancer and Heart Disease on the scale ?
And why stop in May….I bet it starts reversing in June…as all of those other categories (except flu) are perpetual while covid deaths are dropping.
Also some inconsistancies there
For instance Worldometer LIVE https://www.worldometers.info shows 11,000 people died from hunger so far today ( They uses eastern US Time as a template.)
So about 30,000 will die of malnutrition today…but 5,000 will die of covid….so that is not reflected in this graph correctly .
So far THIS year Worldometer shows 6,000,000 died from communicable diseases ( If covid is a communicable disease about 8% of these deaths were covid and 92% were not)
450,000 died with covid this year
4,000,000 Died from Cancer This Year ( not on this graphic)
2,000,000 Died from Smoking this year
1,000,000 Died from Alcohol this year
460,000 died from Malaria this year ( same as covid but covid deaths will diminish and malaria will not)
500,000 died from suicide this year ( more than covid but suicides will escalate and covid diminish)
800,000 died from HIV ( double covid but you never hear about it and nobody is doing anything about it apparently)
3,500,000 children under 5 died so far this year ( Potential lives snuffed out before they began while covid stamps out spent lives for the most part)
220,000 seasonal flu deaths this year…half of covid …which is significant but again nobody monitors this daily….and no one was ever locked down for a bad flu season.
And the Bottom line 27,000,000 deaths this year
98.4% of these people Did NOT die from Covid
Unless You and your social circle and family have been directly affected by a covid death, one could say that in the grand scheme of things for most of the almost 8 Billion people on earth the number of deaths by covid is trivial….but the reaction to these particular deaths is anything but.
Paraphrasing Stalin
“Each death is a tragedy but Millions of deaths is a statistic”)
I agree with fully, lots of stuff left out. The fine print on the original says:
“Source: Global Burden of Disease study, Worldometers populations, Johns Hopkins COVID repository
*Except COVID, causes of death shown account for ~7% of global deaths annually”
So they are leaving out a bunch of the biggest contributors.
So that’s proof that tis exercise was a fraud !
Created to scare monger .
Anyone armed with Worldometer can clearly see Covid is a rounding error when it comes to total world death statistics
1.6% of deaths this year and ZERO sign of excess deaths. Numbers of total deaths to date this year are in line with those numbers every year.
Interestingly it seems to be killing a lot more people in the developed world than in the underdeveloped world…..who have their own ongoing perpetual pandemics !
I have been somewhat turned off by the politicizing
If Covid
There is a saying that I think will explain my position
A recession is when your neighbor is out of work. A depression
Is when your out of work
Like so many tragedies of life. HIV cancer etc.
When it’s other people everyone has opinions feelings etc
When you or a close loved one. It’s real. And opinions are
Like your asshole. Everyone has one.
For me all this Bantor minimizes the real tragedy of Covid
And we’ve lost sight of what matters. Our friends families and there we’ll being
Yes and their well being is being destroyed by lockdowns and associated policies FAR more that it is being hurt by the virus…if at all.
For a little comic relief, the joke goes something like this. A recession is when your neighbor loses his job, a depression is when you lose your job, and a PANIC is when your WIFE loses her job!
Haha. Thanks for that
