Right, and Obama was born in Kenya too.

You stated this when comparing this Covid 19 outbreak to the 2018 Flu epidemic  "That is 51 times greater mortality for COVID 19 to the equivalent date".

How convenient for you to use only that short 41 day period after the 100 day cycle had begun on both illnesses to make that idiotic assertion.  
100 day cycle?  You're confused, or mentally overwhelmed.  The comparison was after the 100th death.  Flu is traditionally cataloged in seasons that last about 210 days.  41 days after the 100th death was all the data we had so far.  Also, I expressly mentioned that I expect the mortality of COVID 19 to end up at a much lower multiplier of the entire flu season.

The point, which you missed entirely, is that COVID 19 killed a lot of people much faster than the flu does.  (In this millennium anyway).  Just look at the graph.  The graph makes my point indisputably.

I (actually the graph, it was another person's work) factually pointed out that heart disease kills an average of 1790 per day in the US.  Factually, not fraudulently.  No one suggested to anyone that COVID 19 was killing more per day, every day, than heart disease.  You made that up to create a bogus straw man to argue with.

It is shocking that this new virus has killed more than 2000 per day on several days.  At least as I define shocking.

IF that proves to be true in the long run, then this Covid 19 was NOT NEARLY as deadly as the hysterics claim that it is.  
Yes.

Not sure where you get your news from, but for me it is not Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram and others.  Shame on anyone whose bubble is so tight that they get their news through these sources.  I would agree that social media is moderated with a left bias.  That is the result of basic economics.  Old conservative guys are not their audience.

My favorite line from your screed.

I bet I unconsciously cribbed the word screed from your post!  It is a great word for describing certain posts where you can almost hear the shouting behind them.

Classic.  If anyone makes the effort to reply to one of your overlong and chaotic posts, he is in "freak out mode."  If anyone, perhaps more prudently, chooses to ignore your rant du jour then he is "hiding under his desk."  Nice how you have the options covered.

I've posted four or five graphs, and updated them periodically as the US pandemic data develops.  I believe that graphs relay certain facts about the pandemic and the societal response that are compelling.  I have made comments about what I believe the data means.  I could be wrong concerning some of my conclusions.  I would welcome other interpretations.

From you however, I get laughable conspiracy theories (Hospitals are forced to fake COVID 19 deaths!) and pathetically shallow and juvenile rebuttals:  "half baked crap" or "The problem with your analysis is that it is faulty."  Zing.

Why don't you try to understand the graphs, the data behind the graphs and present your own analysis if it is contrary to my conclusions? We know that you have access to a computer.  The data is available at Worldometer, Johns Hopkins, the CDC and elsewhere.  You probably even have Excel on your computer, if you want to make your own graphs.  It is a green icon, with a white X.
