BASEBALL IS BACK JULY 23rd ???

Who works 50 years in Public"Service"?

Members of the Deep State, that's who.

No argument.
: as he resubmerges into the morass :

Yes. The CDC is completely opposed to Trump. Like the FDA, it's policies are agenda driven and quite concordant with the globalist agenda which equates to being against the interests of the American people. The entire medical system in this country is an unmitigated disaster and one of the leading causes of death in America. Its unholy alliance with big pharma is a corrupt swamp in dire need of being drained.

The actual number of US deaths by week are on government websites. 2020 is consistent with 2019 except for a blip increase (15,000-20,000) among elderly. The cause is healthy seniors being exposed to those with respiratory illness due to lock down.

and "they" have succeeded in training much of the population to think "lock down" is an okay thing...
REMEMBER:
in every other circumstance throughout history it has been the SICK who have been quarantined -- not the WELL!!

A study published in JAMA said that the number of excess deaths during March-May in the US was more than the official number of coronavirus deaths. In other words, the official coronavirus total might be a 28% undercount. Even if you argue that, well, maybe more people are dying from other causes because they arent going to the hospital, it's a huge stretch to think that those other causes make up for that 28% gap. So you can pretty much at this point be assured that the official coronavirus tally is at least not overcounting because there is a pretty big cushion. And we're setting record number of cases every day. I'm not sure minimizing what is going on right now is the way to go. Some experts are estimating we might get to 100,000 cases a day soon (even if that is an exaggeration it doesnt look like any governor wants to lockdown again so there is no reason to think cases wont keep increasing from the current 50,000 and even that would be 1.5 million cases a month .) That's 3 million cases in a month. So far we have had 2.7 million cases with 130K dead. So you do the math. Here's a discussion of the study:

Outside of the first sentence, this is not remotely true. Maybe you saw a stat back in March/early April when this was the case?

Look at the chart at the bottom and do the math. Or simply change it over to "excess deaths" The CDC lists excess deaths much higher. We are at about 135,000 excess deaths (using the median) so far this year. And we are also not surprisingly at about 132,000 deaths related to coronavirus.

Corona is scary even (especially) for people who know the science on it. So if people need to believe that the Lizard People started it to feel OK that's fine with me - just wear a damn mask.

Yes! By all means wear masks. Especially when you exercise, hopefully vigorously.

The point of my initial post was to potentially inspire people to think for themselves and not blindly accept the official, media driven narratives regarding the shutdown of our planet due to a corona virus, but perhaps to do some independent research, and god forbid, see if their is a bigger picture that we may not be aware of yet.

Clearly some are entirely dismissive of such inquiry, beating the straw men of tin foil hats and Lizard people. Good for you. Sorry to disturb your somnolence. You may return to your regularly scheduled programming.

Oh and if you want to debate the "science" of it, I would relish the opportunity. Both Frankie T and I have Ph.D.'s,in Physics and Clinical Psychology respectively, and are sophisticated consumers of research.

Ball's in your court, Lizard ma.n You wanna start with the efficacy of wearing masks or the virus itself or shall we discuss agenda driven science in the medical industry?
