The thing that is a bit disturbing is that you looked at the Flourish graph and immediately focused on millions of deaths that should be counted above COVID-19, that is if the chart had every possible means of death listed. Trivializing and discounting the thousands of people who have died from COVID-19 related complications, and even in our own town many more who may in light of the post restriction reckless behavior that is promoted by similar outlooks to your own!
You've constructed a disturbing and destructive model of reality that gets reinforced every time you read some questionable facts or dubious data relationship, while immediately disregarding the real figures and lives lost. The problems isn't the figures, COVID-19 isn't a conspiracy, it's a pandemic that is killing people and you should consider those with friends and family who have been harmed or perished before you trivialize it further.
Is that your best LP?
I saw the chart and immediately knew it was a con job as it omitted (likely by design) a dozen or so of the leading causes of death annually.
I note you don't dispute or refute the full list of causes I posted.
Your pitch refutes the data. Hard data.
Are you really a scientist? Did you fail maths at school?
Plenty of things kill us, we don't stop 'life' as we know it....the play book is well known, a pity politics got in the way.
The US? COVID is a created crisis.... IL, MA, MI, NJ, NY, PA State governors made nursing homes accept sick folk = mass deaths. Huge numbers!
The balance of US States, COVID seldom broke CDC's epidemic threshold.....
COVID is a virus that we now know can be readily managed - and contained - well it would be, but for the folk with agendas, political or otherwise.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
