I'm sorry, but I don't believe the numbers....before Corona, lots of people were dying from the plain old flu....now, hardly anyone dies from the plain old flu and everyone dies from some strain of Corona. Just doesn't add up. The 'gold standard' PCR test cannot tell the difference between the flu and Covid 19, or other Coronas, so it's all rolled up into what they call Covid 19. You are wise to be skeptical. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCR testing is highly specific because the tests are designed to be unique to the sequence being detected. I can explain this if you want to learn. Edited August 19, 2021 by one.opinion clarity...

I hope it helps. Thanks. CDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2018–2019 season included an estimated 35.5 million people getting sick with influenza, 16.5 million people going to a health care provider for their illness, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths from influenza (Table 1). The number of influenza-associated illnesses that occurred last season was similar to the estimated number of influenza-associated illnesses during the 2012–2013 influenza season when an estimated 34 million people had symptomatic influenza illness6.

As it stands right now, more people have died in the United States from COVID-19 than any other nation in this world. Over 630,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 since March 2020. Sorry, this is simply not true. Official John Hopkins tally, true; actual number of Americans who actually died FROM Covid, utterly false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doesn't add up. You are right Tammy. Millions have died from a number of viruses and other things. Has anyone ever had to wear a mask for these illnesses? Has anyone ever lost their job from these illnesses? There is not a safe vaccine for Covid so we just need to take precautions and you will be ok. It is those who get careless are those in jeopardy. We need to ask God to surround us with His protection with this virus and vaccine. Edited August 23, 2021 by missmuffet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's to talk about. At that point it turns to personal experience and that means everyone needs to be vaccinated and most likely take the booster shot, because none of us want to go through what my friends have experienced 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
