(1,752 posts)If covid isnt causing it, what is? Makes no sense.
Im guessing they are math/statistics deniers, as well as science deniers.

(33,643 posts)In a country-wide conspiracy, cause the 'doctors get more big gubmint cheese when patients are infected or die of covid'.
AFA an explanation for why hospitalizations are up they'll just say those numbers are fake too.

(1,665 posts)MORE death certificates (and bodies) this year than the past year, they dont have much of an answer.
Sure, ok, Ill play along, and pretend hospitals are just adding COVID to he death certs. But then why so many more death certs than ever before?
Somethings out there killing more Americans this year than last year. What is it? And if its not COVID then why dont we know what it is and why arent we doing anything about it?

(33,643 posts)I'm not sure how much the overall deaths are up ... I'm sure it's at least by a bit at least but it may not be totally outside normal +/- variation ... YET.
It's going to be though.
But never mind THAT ... in their fevered imaginations, everything in the world that can possibly be construed as 'making Trump look bad' is the product of a conspiracy of bad actors committed to making Trump, the most awesome all-powerful man in the Universe ... look like he's not.
Absolutely no objective facts or statistics to the contrary can be trusted, the conspiracy is world-wide and total.

(2,047 posts)It'll convince you, but it's just more fake news to a skeptic: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm
Everything above the yellow line is excess mortality (more deaths than usual for each week). Interesting that there isn't a recent spike in deaths, but the data is only up to Oct 24, so it may take time for the new "cases" (ie, positive test results whether or not they're symptomatic) to run the full clinical course.

(1,665 posts)Are through the roof. In excess even of the ones they can definitively link to COVID, implying COVID Is deadlier than we even give it credit for.
And obviously the morgue trucks, and mass graves, and field hospitals are a bit of an anomaly...

Like how Soros has faked the news in every country around the world.
I'm amazed at the number of people I know who proudly show their ignorance on social media.

(1,665 posts)SOMETHING killed 300,000 more Americans this year between March and November than the same time last year. More people ARE dying. SOMETHING is filling the hospitals to overflowing. If hospitals are just blaming COVID for more money, then what is it thats actually putting this many MORE people than before in the hospital?
If it isnt COVID, then what is it? Why has trump kept it secret? And why hasnt he done anything about it?

(34,661 posts)Eastern South Dakota and just how brain washed folks are,the original tweet is spot on. As I have mentioned,do have family that fits the bill so to speak. Their information sources are Fox News Souix Falls,a right wing AM Radio Station that pumps Limpballs and other Hate Spewers 24/7. Oh,and their Twitter Circle of likes are so hate filled it becomes a total freak world. Orwell's Novel 1984 is being acted out in real time.
You betcha,the Ministry of Truth in real time. Doublethink is for real.

(265 posts)there are going to be survivors with stories to tell.
Just like polio and HIV.
It may take awhile to figure it out and get a fuller (never complete) picture of what's going on.
BTW
There are six cars in my neighbor's driveway.
Visitors.
Lovely.

(16,165 posts)and right now I'm trying to justify going to work with shortness of breath and a headache.
It's amazing the guilt trips you can put yourself on.
I just talked myself out of going and this thread was an immense help.
