I see the pussy trolls won't post what they believe the death toll from the virus is. No surprise there. They can't because they know the number is the one I've been updating.

It's ZERO. It's always been ZERO.

It’s always been near certain that the U.S., along with every other nation, has severely undercounted the number of coronavirus cases and deaths attributed to the virus. The speed and scale of the pandemic made getting an accurate reading of its impact a challenge, but, as of Friday, the numbers in the U.S. currently stand at more than 32 million reported cases resulting in 580,000 deaths. Those numbers compiled by Johns Hopkins are grim, but a new analysis by researchers at the University of Washington puts the death toll in the U.S. far higher at 905,000 deaths.

The team at the university’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation says the undercount globally is even greater than in the U.S. and that the global death toll is approaching 7 million, more than double the official recorded tally. The researchers found that the number of coronavirus-attributed deaths in a given country is largely dependent on the levels of testing. In most parts of the world, deaths that occur outside a hospital setting don’t get attributed to Covid because they likely were never tested for the virus. The severity of the pandemic has, understandably, meant that health officials have focused their resources on treating patients and saving lives, not surveying the symptoms of the deceased.
The analysis of by the University of Washington researchers came to its revised, higher death toll by using the excess mortality from March 2020 through May 3, 2021 and comparing it to a nonpandemic year with a few adjustments. In the U.S., the researchers said just about all of the excess deaths could numerically be attributed to Covid because increases in certain types of pandemic adjacent deaths, like drug overdoses, were offset by a declines in other areas, like flu deaths, which were far lower last year because everyone was at home.
Undercounting of Covid-19 deaths is greatest in pro-Trump areas, analysis shows

Tens of thousands of Covid-19 deaths are going unreported in the U.S., with far more missed in counties that strongly supported former President Trump, according to new research.
The figures suggest that political leanings have helped suppress the true scale of deaths. In cases where the deceased didn’t have a Covid-19 test, a coroner or medical examiner has the freedom to interpret symptoms.
“There’s potentially latitude to make a judgement call conditional on a set of beliefs about Covid and whether it represents a serious problem or a hoax,” said Andrew Stokes, a professor of global health at Boston University School of Public Health who performed the analysis for STAT.

Quote:I have not known any Texas Trumptards to claim the death toll is zero. You might not be alone, 6ix, but "ZERO" is not a frequent answer when Trumptards are asked the question: "How many Americans died from Covid-19?"

Social Security Sees Slowdown in Retiree Rolls Amid Covid Deaths
The rate of growth in retired Americans who collect Social Security has slowed down sharply, and the drop may be due in part to the disproportionate number of deaths from Covid-19 among the elderly.

All those old people, who were sucking at Jack's money, who died of COVID-19 instead, should put a smile on Jack's face. Maybe he'd even cheer about COVID-19, the way RF did about his dead political adversaries.
Except - nobody dies of COVID-19. So Jack has nothing to cheer about except that all those old people are dead. Bummer.

Quote:The Pandemic: The true reasons why the West failed
Originally posted by 6ixStringJack:

Soon, over 1.5 million people will have died of COVID in Western countries. Meanwhile, in a block of Asia-Pacific countries with a population over twice as big, they lost 18,000 people.
By the way, that death count in the West is an understatement. Counting excess deaths, you get 735,000 COVID deaths in the US. That’s more than all combat deaths the US has ever had (~660k) in all wars.

The countries that did well locked down early on, if and when there were too many cases to handle in any other way. Once case numbers were under control, they kept them low or at zero with a good test-trace-isolate program that included a good border fence.
The European Union started really well, applying a Hammer to reduce cases to a manageable level. By June 30th they were so close!
But then they opened borders and never set up proper test-trace-isolate programs. The rest was written on the wall. The US, meanwhile, never even tried. There, nearly 80% of COVID deaths happened after June 30th 2020, by which time they should have already known how to manage the pandemic properly.
We can say it’s a combination of hesitations and simply poor management. If you live in the West and know somebody who got infected with COVID, ask them about their experience:
Did they immediately receive a call from a contact tracer?
Did they collaborate with the contact tracer?
Did they exhaustively go through all their contacts?
Did the tracers contact all their contacts within 24 hours?
Were they successful getting cooperation from the contacts they called?
Did they get a mandate to stay home?
Were they taken to an isolation facility?
Did an app, the police, or someone else check with them to make sure that they respected the isolation?
Were there mechanisms to penalize those who didn’t respect the isolations?
Was there a similar process for contacts, whereby these were mandated to stay home and their quarantine was monitored, enforced, and penalized if not respected?
Were COVID tests required 24h before a trip? (not 72h)
Were all travelers required to quarantine on arrival?
Was that traveler quarantine monitored and enforced?
Was there a new negative test after 4 or more days required to leave the quarantine?
Every country that has been successful has done some variant of these bullet points. For the countries that failed, they failed at doing most of these points.
For example, most Western governments didn’t get contact tracers’ powers to get cooperation from the people. As a result, many people didn’t want to cooperate, which made tracing contacts extremely difficult.
To take another example, most Western countries still only require a negative COVID test from 72h before arrival. That is an ample window for them to catch the virus and export it.
Western governments were happy fining people who didn’t respect lockdowns—Spain and France had each at least 1 million fines for that—but didn’t fine anybody who skipped isolations and quarantines.
Similarly, most Western governments didn’t set up proper isolation facilities, or didn’t give people money, drugs or food during quarantines.
