Covid-19 is real. It is a real virus. It really has killed thousands of Americans, especially those with health concerns.
Have we been told the truth about the Coronavirus? Covid is an emotional subject which is why it’s very polarizing. We will never all agree about the Coronavirus and about what to do in regards to the safety of Americans, but we can come closer together. There is one way we can begin to have common feelings about Covid-19; FACTS. We must look at the facts and the empirical evidence which has been collected. This is what we are going to do here.
COVID STATS AND LINKS
CDC Weekly Index is a great place to look at the actual death count. Notice the age groups and survival rates. Over 99% for most Americans.
About half of all deaths are over 75 years old. By contrast that average American lives to about 78 years old. That average Covid death in America is closer to 82 years old. This is about 4 years older than the average American lives.
WHERE DOES COVID-19 SPREAD?
About 75% of all covid cases are spread and traced back to the home. Why are we being forced to isolate at home?
Covid does NOT spread in gyms. There is so much evidence that less than 1% of all cases are contact traced to a gym or fitness center. IHRSA Data. Watch more videos about covid and gym spread.
Nearly 40% deaths are in nursing homes, and only 8% of the cases are from nursing homes.
KIDS ARE NEARLY IMMUNE
Kids essentially are safe. Young kids almost literally have a 0% death rate. In fact, state by state has death rates in kids between 0.0% and 0.09%. Each state has different ways to “calculate” death rate in children, but all states have a death rate well below 1/2 of a %. New York Death Rate in Children.
By way of contrast more kids died in school bus crashes in 2019 than Covid in 2020. A child has a better statistical chance to make it to the NBA than dying of Covid-19.
WHY DOES EVERYONE TALK SO MUCH ABOUT SPREAD?
The most important metric related to COVID-19 should be death and harm, not spread. Spread means nothing if it’s not harming or killing people. Please share this point and change the paradigm of the community conversation. Death does NOT equal spread. They are different metrics and should be in separate categories.
DO MASKS WORK?
This is a very controversial subject. Common sense makes us feel that if everyone has a mask over his or her face the spread will be less. Do numbers back this up? NO. At the time of this post Washington State has a mask mandate. Virtually everyone is wearing masks. The cases are still skyrocketing.
