This pandemic is going to be a model for all mass panicking stupidity in the future.
No, it will be a case study in the Oligarch's Handbook" in the chapter on how to destroy a prosperous economy that is managed by a political rival who threatens your power. A side graphic will show how to use a virus quarantine as an excuse for mass mail out voting, with the mass mail out being cover for creating massive fraudulent votes in strategic districts.
Is it deadlier than influenza? Well, it is certainly deadlier than some strains of influenza. Indeed, most strains. However, Spanish flu was estimated to have killed fifty million, when the world’s population was about a fifth of what it is now. So, COVID19 is definitely less deadly than that one. About as deadly as the influenzas of 1957 and 1967. Probably.
So less than 2 million have died from this, but 50 million died from Spanish Flu with a population of 20 of what it is now.
So the Spanish Flu was 5 x (50 / 2) = 125 times deadlier.
Now that was a problem. This bullshit is not a problem.
I recall you predicted 10 times less deaths than have already happened in America. How wrong do you have to be before you will admit it Patrick?
Patrick was clearly wrong by a large margin and that's proven.
And dragons & fairies are real. Keep going with the fiction.
Hey what happened to Sweden, I thought they were right and were going to have herd immunity by middle of 2020. It must be the US Democrats that sabotaged Sweden.
There is a financial incentive to COVID Death coding.

Abstract
As COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) continues to rapidly spread throughout the world, the incidence varies greatly among different countries. These differences raise the question whether nations with a lower incidence share any medical commonalities that could be used not only to explain that lower incidence but also to provide guidance for potential treatments elsewhere. Such a treatment would be particularly valuable if it could be used as a prophylactic against SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) transmission, thereby effectively slowing the spread of the disease while we await the wide availability of safe and effective vaccines. Here, we show that countries with routine mass drug administration of prophylactic chemotherapy including ivermectin have a significantly lower incidence of COVID-19. Prophylactic use of ivermectin against parasitic infections is most common in Africa and we hence show that the reported correlation is highly significant both when compared among African nations as well as in a worldwide context. We surmise that this may be connected to ivermectin's ability to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication, which likely leads to lower infection rates. However, other pathways must exist to explain the persistence of such an inhibitory effect after serum levels of ivermectin have declined. It is suggested that ivermectin be evaluated for potential off-label prophylactic use in certain cases to help bridge the time until a safe and effective vaccine becomes available.
A COVID-19 death is defined for surveillance purposes as a death resulting from a clinically compatible illness in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID-19 disease (e.g. trauma).

Fixed the link above.
mell saysSo keep peddling the great idea to wreck the economy on top of getting roughly the inevitable same infection curve/deaths and percentages.
Lockdowns clearly bent the curve, there's correlations everywhere to show that and had there not been an impact from lockdowns then there wouldn't be 2nd or 3rd waves.
Recent example in UK.
1918 flu had multiple waves over 3 years and no lock-downs.

Do we control dogs or do dogs actually control us and make us think we are controlling them?
Shaman saysTrue, but it never prevented Covid deaths only postponed them. We had time thanks to lockdown 1 to figure out the virus and how to treat it. However the medical establishment refused to authorize ANY treatment besides ventilators which had a 90% kill rate. Despite knowing of more than a handful of regularly prescribed drugs that did much to prevent Covid death and help patients recover. This is either sheer and utter stupidity by the people who we generally regard as highly intelligent, or the goal all along was to maximize Covid deaths to instill fear and ensure a demand for vaccines. Which do you think is more likely?
Or maybe you're just believing conspiracies generated by completely distrustable sources over science. I'll put my money on that any day.

No benefits.
Bendavid & Ioannidis have no credibility as far as Covid studies.
empirical data over the 9 months
Both of us dislike lockdowns; the difference is choosing to be honest or dishonest about the facts.
That's who we're trying to save and shutting down our economy for. People that have lived a completely full life and beyond.
Relatives are worried that this thing might knock him off, but so far, no.

What are you talking about? Sweden is doing better than the US with no lockdowns or masks. Nobody said that doing nothing will get lesser people sick. But the percent of infections and deaths are roughly the same everywhere, with lesser deaths in countries that have been using hcq and ivermectin. So keep peddling the great idea to wreck the economy on top of getting roughly the inevitable same infection curve/deaths and percentages. If you add drug abuse and suicide partially fueled by economic and social despair the US is doing much worse. Keep defending the demonrat murderers who withheld Ivermectin and HCQ purely for political (and financial) reasons! Ivermectin works.

400,000+ recorded deaths.
Stanford Medicine Seroprevalence Study of Dialysis Patients Shows Fewer than One in 10 Adults Has Antibodies to COVID-19 Indicating Herd Immunity is Far Off

Basically we're nowhere near peak infection, hospital overload, and deaths that would happen if the virus was allowed to spread freely.
