Without the Wuhan virus, the Democrats have no meaningful opposition to Trump. Not only have the Democrats weaponized the Wuhan virus to destroy the economies under their aegis, but they’ve also repeatedly claimed that Trump killed 161,000 Americans. However, new CDC data shows that, of those Americans who died in the past seven months, only 6% died from the virus alone. The other 94% had serious comorbidities that (sadly) put them at a higher risk of death from anything that came along – and certainly from having sick people funneled into their nursing homes.
Bronson Stocking has broken down the CDC’s data:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website disclosed the shockingly small number of people who died from only the Wuhan coronavirus, with no other cause of death mentioned. Hold on to your hat because here it is: out of the 161,392 deaths in the CDC data, just six percent, about 9,700 deaths, were attributed to the coronavirus alone. According to the CDC, the other 94 percent had an average of 2.6 additional conditions or causes of deaths, such as heart disease, diabetes, and sepsis.

Instead of protecting the vulnerable – the elderly in nursing homes and those with comorbidities – health "experts" recommended locking everyone up and prescribing for Americans a wide range of ailments such as depression, suicide, missed early cancer screenings, unemployment, substance abuse, and poverty.
BKnight makes the important point, as well, that the above analysis doesn’t even take into account the way that medical reporters threw into the Wuhan virus column deaths that had nothing to do with the virus:

Of course this was all public knowledge in March, before the lockdowns.
OK Folks, I will not overestimate the dangers of Covid-19 for the general population. However, let us NOT UNDERESTIMATE the dangers of this disease to those HUGE number of people in the USA who have serious pre-existing conditions and/or are elderly.
Having seen friends ( plural ) die because of co-morbidities AND catching Covid-19, I cannot help but say to myself — well, yes, they will eventually die of their condition, but I cannot help but wonder HOW MANY MORE YEARS they would have lived had there been no Coronavirus ... Even a year or two is precious.

BUT, it is also absurd to suggest that the proximate cause of death wasn't the virus, if someone who takes blood-pressure pills contracts Covid and dies.

There is a positive lesson we can take from the virus: generally speaking, Americans are unhealthy. Mostly related to obesity and lack of exercise. We have been sold on the notion that an array of orange containers with white lids is a substitute for healthy living. People need to take better care of themselves.
Nobody I know had Covid and now we know it was just a bad flu. The bad flu has destroyed thousands of lives economically and prevented people with severe medical problems to get treatment. All of this to gain power.
I wonder if those people thought another year or two of their lives being extended was worth the wholesale destruction of the United States were at least the attempt.
My mom has been screaming at 87 to just let her live her life and go back to the senior center to play cards and she did go about as she pleases. And she said her life is not worth the destruction that has been wrought. Selfishness has unfortunately been a disease that has spread to even the elderly in this country

And those are the people who should wear masks, social distance and avoid risks.
Not the whole country.
How many of the 6% had undiagnosed/unreported comorbidities?
Meanwhile, I have known of 1 person (husband’s subordinate) with a very serious cystic fibrosis disease catch this virus thanks to having a “roommate” who caught it. He has basically quit as there is little hope for him; he needs a lung transplant. But last year they barely saved him when his lung collapsed.
I also have my nephew who caught it, had nothing much more than a cold. His MIL caught it from him, had some serious vomiting, but despite being 65, she got over it in a week.
Never mind the opinion of my doctor uncle and nurse aunt, who see hardly any cases to justify their local hospital shutting off a whole floor, and mysteriously had zero flu cases or deaths in that whole time.
That’s my anecdotal evidence. And never mind my personal nightmares worrying if I could get my mom and now myself adequate medical attention because everyone is so damn hung up on this.
All of this to gain power.

And just imagine what else goes on in Washington everyday to gain and retain power. COVID only revealed the tip of an iceberg.
This whole lock down has been a sham perpetrated to tank the economy.
Was Covid bad...well yes, but have ya noticed that no one is reporting “regular” flu deaths? Did influenza just disappear? Did the Covid virus gobble up influenza?
How bout this years pneumonia deaths? It's because everything has been reported as Covid.
Here is the money graphic from the article:
I would be astonished if hospitals were coding this intentionally with COVID-19 as the primary cause of death just because it was present at death WITHOUT express direction by Medicare to do it, because that seems like it would be fraud.
If Medicare mandated this kind of coding, that would be a different thing and someone should be called to account for that.
I am no expert on this, but I make the presumption that, under cause of death, there is a primary, secondary, tertiary cause, etc., and that as this shows, in only 6% of the deaths is COVID-19 the primary cause.
So, how has it become public perception that 149,192 people died from COVID-19, when in reality, only 3,814 people actually died from COVID-19?
Is that the Left deliberately looking at any appearance of the ICD-10 (U07.1) COVID-19 and simply taking that death as a COVID-19 death? Who is behind that? That is inherently and utterly dishonest. WHO? The Democrat Party? The Media? Medicare?
I agree, but then we will have the MORONS saying that making some people wear face protection in public creates a stigma for them and it is only fair for everyone to wear them!
Think of the TRILLIONS we spend for nothing.....we could have used a few billion to protect the vulnerable and never shaken our lives.
If you have any underlying health conditions, or are generally a worrier (or hypochondriac), wear your mask everywhere, carry hand-sanitizer and either social distance or stay home. For everybody else, get on with your life.
Then please tell them to isolate themselves as the rest of us get back to work.
No one should be stuck not working because of your friends.
