CV and mad panic behaviour

[Thryleon]

.. and sobering numbers to put it mildly

Brazil had 200,000 deaths cumulative up to Dec31st 2020.  In less than three months, it's now close to 300,000!

In March 2000, it was zero !!!! 

I stated this once before, regarding cases of death being slippery.  Last time I did it was in favour of being careful with respect to how they're reporting covic deaths and to rebutt an argument about dying with covid not from covid.

My father had chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.  We were told that this is the cancer that is best to have, as it has a 95% survival rate beyond 15 years of diagnosis or some such bollocks with a really low death rate.  Anyway, in his treatment plan, just as his numbers were stabilising on the back of chemotherapy, they started prepping for a bone marrow transplant which was supposed to help him later in life.  They gave him a large dose of chemo to prep for this, and unfortunately for him, his liver shutdown about a month after the chemo treatment.  He died two weeks later, as the liver has over 200 metabolic functions. 

On his death certificate, cause of death was listed as hematemisis brought on by liver failure as a result of reactivation of hepatitis c.

Where does he sit in the 95% cause of death by clc?  I bet you he's on the other side (5%) yet he was never previously formally diagnosed with hep c, they estimate he had it in his system from the migration on ship to Australia.  As far as I'm concerned without clc he doesn't die from this cause, but its equally possible they used a dirty needle or a batch of chemo drugs that was unclean and couldn't categorically state why he died.  Ultimately the outcome for us is the same, so we didn't pursue it as it doesnt bring him back either way.

I stated this in covids benefit once, and I state it here to show that if the statistical reporting is as much an exercise of statistical gymnastics as it is truth, and that we might be being fed a lot of crap from around the world.

Even so, I dont state this for anything but truth seeking. 

What I would like to see is how these numbers stack up overlaid with the average death rate for this time in terms of influenza, and average deaths.  We should see a rather dramatic spike in overall deaths on a trend line during a pandemic where a disproportionate number of additional deaths are recorded.

Those stats are not mentioned much, and they are worthy of paying attention to.  It's data without context explainable by the overall drop in human activity during this pandemic but the death rate is not remarkable on average according tot he following link.

I am not posting this for any reason but to encourage more questions, in the hope we gain some clarity.  The pandemic has changed how we move through society remarkably, but the slums of Brazil should not yield much social distancing IMHO.
