Yes, Andrew, the Cure Was Much Worse than the Disease

Nate commented yesterday on Yahoo. He does medical billing for doctors. The CDC has ORDERED that all doctors code virtually all deaths with symptoms of flu asthma pneumonia as Covid 19. He calls that FRAUD. hmmm. I wonder how many of 23000 deaths in NY attributed to Covid 19 are NOT really Covid 19?  Four separate studies conclude that there are many times the recorded cases – which means that the death rate is closer to other strains of flu – well under 1%…hmmm. My logical theory is that the plague was here since last Dec/Jan and by the time the Chinese New Year was celebrated in NY Feb 12 – where DeBlasio and his health commissioner encouraged New Yorkers to celebrate, eat at restaurants and travel the subways – the plague had already spread through MOST of the millions of people in NY and perhaps 25% of the population. At that point, what good did masks and social distancing really have?   And though it probably killed over 10,000 New Yorkers – virtually all of them had some underlying condition. When we have the real numbers of how many ACTUALLY died by Covid vs. other flu, asthma, or pneumonia – I am afraid we will have to conclude that we shut down the country without any real benefit – and the destruction to the economy and the death and destruction associated with focusing everything on Covid – and not asthma, pneumonia, or other flu – it will look like politics that created fear and not science caused this shut down. Today we have about 70,000 deaths of drug overdoses and we can expect that number to spike from everyone locked down like rats in a cage and people out of work with prospects that they will not recover financially. I expect that deaths from drugs, domestic violence and suicide will far exceed the actual deaths from Covid. Yes, Andrew, the cure was MUCH worse than the disease.
