Dudden surprise this ole boy one little bit. Not at all. I have believed from the beginning of this mess that there was way more to it than just the flu. I told my wife a couple of months ago there was something going on here. I didn’t know what it was then. Now I got a damned good idea what just like every one else has. Even my wife sees it now and she ain’t no news hound by any means. She has picked up on it by just walking through the living room when I have the news on and bang, she picks up on the total BS immediately!!

BFD! They are doing this just to keep the panic going. They usually only publish a few obituaries and could probably fill 16 pages.

This is just more hype and BS like global warming ah climate change.

It does not take much research to find that very large population centers like NYC and Boston do not have the space to print the obit of every single person who dies in their immediate area.

Yet they are now pulling in names from all over the state?

And no one can figure out why?

Try a little harder.

Don’t families have to pay for obituaries these days?

If you were on your way to the grocery store and a herd of elephants crushed your car and your license plate had either/or a C and/or a V, then you are classified as a CV-19 death

"...this pandemic is specifically targeting those of a certain political bent..." It does seem that way doesn't it?😎

[Don’t families have to pay for obituaries these days?]


These days? Obituaries have always been paid classified ads for the friends and relatives of the dead. It’s probably the part of print advertising least affected by the internet.

What is the waiti.g period and criteria to declare someone “recovered.” That figure seems to lag even more than deaths.

And 30% of the fatalities are unproven, untested.

Just to bring numbers up to a typical flu year.

You need to understand, everyone in the US is going to get CCV, probably before there is a vaccine. The Media, politicians won’t tell you this, but I’m being honest with you.

Kids are Asymptomatic super spreaders. Kids are “the dog that doesn’t bark” in all of the data. Therefore, the virus CANNOT BE CONTAINED by “social distancing” or “Stay at home” orders.

If you think it will kill you, you WANT everyone else to go out and get it. The sooner the healthy get it, the sooner the unhealthy can come out from hiding.

At some point over the next 3 months, someone not on FR will tell you the truth about this, but you heard it here, first.

For perspective, 5000 Americans died on foreign soil in the first hour on D-Day.

Yes. The Recent Deaths pages at Wikipedia has been very noticeable. Some Italian academic who last published a book in 1964 dies and WHAM! it’s Big News! They are just scraping up all the possible deaths they can to make it seem like “everybody” is dying.

'Never in my life have I seen the obituary listings take up almost a whole page. I can’t imagine what NY and NJ papers look like,'

Pure hyperbole.

I live in the sh*thole called NJ. DEATH is the first word out everyday in the news.

Just clarifying your post.
