The average mortality rate is closer 0.5%. And that includes the obese, elderly, and those with serious underlying health issues, for which the mortality rate is 5-10%.
While those deaths are tragic for those directly involved, they do not represent the true lethality of the disease. The vast majority of Covid deaths have been in people who were otherwise unhealthy. They in effect, died with Covid, not of Covid. Meaning, their death was accelerated by Covid; most of those who have died would have died soon anyway. I am relatively certain, that when this pandemic is behind us, the five-year moving average of deaths per 100,000 will be pretty much the same as it was before the pandemic began.
If we didn’t have television and the Internet, hardly anyone would notice. Over 2.8 million people die in this country every year. Does that scare you?
The people of that country roll over on their bellies quick. That’s why the government gets away with what they are doing. Take the 5 reasons you can leave your house for example. That’s a pipe dream here in the US. It would be met with nearly 100% noncompliance. Yet those in Australia accept it. Which is why that has been taken away in certain areas.
How much time they had left matters. It’s why people generally mourn the deaths of young people more. As I said before, a bad cold or just eating a meal could take out my elderly mother at this point. If it ends up being Covid I won’t be any sadder than if it was a cold or flu that finally gets her. Because the real cause is that she can barely hang on already.
She hasn’t had covid. She did however have a stroke right after a jab though. But she was already in poor health so that may have just been coincidental.
When I read the story, I’m not hearing about forced relocation. There is a mandatory quarantine and they are providing relocation to those who cannot quarantine. It doe so not sound as bad as being portrayed here.
Unless they determine you can’t and they order you be relocated. Silly argument, doesn’t matter a whole lot if they hold you prisoner in your home or a camp. Camps are just worse optics, the underlying detention is the same.
