They’re changing the world again, according to models – just as they did with models for global warming (climate change). No data or facts, just “what if” suppositions based on worst-case scenarios; following guess-work advice of “experts.”
Democrat-owned media is purposefully misleading the public regarding deaths from the Wuhan virus. “Setting a record for Coronavirus deaths” has been a phrase repeated over and over for any given state, mentioned by any number of leftist news sources on most media networks every night for over four months. A number, like “147 deaths per day,” is pulled up and reported in dizzying repetition – a false, Fake News number that can be sold easily when fear is the catalyst.
A label like “single-day record,” or the trigger-word “surges,” occurs across most networks regularly to keep apprehension alive in the populace. Neither term is accurate nor is there a reason for their use, except for sensationalism, even when actual CDC data is used. The outlandish claims by media don’t wash, but accuracy isn’t the purpose is it? Numbers of “positive” cases of the Wuhan virus are combined; juggled, juxtaposed… whatever accomplishes the desired effect to keep fear going in the viewing audience and on Main Street.
We have no idea what the fatality number is for the Wuhan virus on any given day. That number for each state is not available daily, but the media picks a number and sells it anyway, even though actual data may not be accessible for a day or two after the deaths occur. Media lies to us on any given day and dishonestly paints a picture of “surges” when no surge exists and “single-day record” when there isn’t. However, this helps Joe Biden and harms Donald Trump, so all is good.
The death rate in the U.S. from the Wuhan virus since April has decreased 68%. The number of deaths by week at the peak of the virus damage, April 11-18, was over 4,000 per week. The week ending July 11, the fatality count was less 
than 500 per week, counting all age groups, according to the CDC. The death rate has plummeted from the peak in April, but no one in the Democrat-owned media or the progressive-driven national health bureaucracy wants you to know that. It’s all about new “positive” cases; the more they find, the more excited they become bashing Trump.
In 2019, 8,700 Americans died daily: 3,175,500 that year. Year-to-date fatalities for the Wuhan virus in the U.S. are 146,732.
Back in May, California had three deaths per million residents from the Wuhan virus. Historically, 760 people die in California every day; yet there are no alarms, no crisis declared, no matter the reason for the fatalities. Why now? Why with this virus and not common influenza, which takes more lives every year?
And can we really trust the numbers released concerning this virus, when nearly daily we hear of positive case counts being padded? Over the period of one week, dozens of testing stations in Florida misreported their results, many citing 90% to 100% positive cases, when the actual numbers were small fractions of that.
We also see another numbers game. Recently, a man in Florida was killed in a motorcycle accident. His cause of death was recorded as the Coronavirus, not the accident. Numerous hospitals across the nation record primary cause of death as Coronavirus (it isn’t) because they are paid a fee.
Only one equation is important: Infection = Death. The mentality of fear – that the Wuhan virus is fatal – must be maintained, at least through the election.
