You know, not that it really matters in the grand scheme of things, but both of you are making this place unbearable to post and discuss politics. You would think amatuer astronomers would agree on more than they disagree, but obviously that's not the case and allegorically Rod and Rich are this country in a nutshell. I know I agree with Rod more often than not and should call him out more when he gets like this, but you guys on the right are just as guilty of this when it comes to Rich. I'm planning on selling some astronomy gear this spring and it's the only reason I reupped to Astromart. If this place could be a little cooler and less toxic it would be a bonus, but unfortunately I don't see that happening with the divisions as they currently are. The little name calling in the responses are juvenile and unbecoming. Not that anyone cares, what with only six or seven folks regularly posting here. What a dead little corner of the internet this has become. Too bad some of the others who used to post here weren't chased off or didn't want to put up with all of the BS here.

What's pretty funny Jim, is how you get on here, and make your charges about namecalling, and then in the very posting above, call me a misogynist.

Just amazing.

I guess its just the same old same old with you liberals isn't it?

You have no problem hurling out pejoratives against all of us on the right, castigating our characters, and then feeling as if you're justified in doing so.

Is that how it works?  

Whatever it is in the psyche of the left, its obviously never gonna' change.

I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

A highly exaggerated number above.  The CDC guidelines indicate that anyone who died WITH Covid is to be listed as a death FROM Covid

Not to mention the fact that medicare pays approximately 2.5X the amount to a hospital who lists a death as a Covid, rather than the true cause of death.  

What is the correct number?

Nobody knows, but it isn't 815,000 FROM Covid.  

There were 815,000 who died WITH Covid.

The following article outlines how the numbers are highly exaggerated.

From the article:  

"The coroner, Brenda Bock, says two of their five deaths related to COVID-19 were people who died of gunshot wounds," CBS News Denver reports. "Bock says because they tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 30 days, they were classified as 'deaths among cases.'"

Bock is calling the classification "absurd" and raises concerns death classifications are falsely driving the narrative about the direction of the pandemic. Health officials in the state say they're simply following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control on how to classify deaths of individuals from and with the virus.

Who said that above.  

I provide evidence,  you provide supposition and conjecture.

I have as much evidence in saying "It is far likelier that there is an overcount of Covid Deaths",

as your story has, in claiming "It is far likelier that there is an undercount of Covid deaths".  

All you've provided is someone saying the above in Politico.

I've provided anecdotal but FACTUAL evidence from a coroner who said that 2 people with gunshot wounds were classified as Covid deaths.  

You provided someone saying that some deaths may never have been counted as Covid.

Your person has zero evidence, while my person, a Colorado County Coroner, says that 2 deaths of the 5 in question were gunshot wounds AND NOT Covid.  

That's called a fact.  

Where are your facts? 

You don't have any
