Considering all the nation's who lie we must be over 500000 dead

[lakerboy]

Current total is 231000

China had over 200000. They are reporting less than 5000.

Russia has 106000 cases and ONLY 1000 dead?
Turkey lying as well.

Corona seems to only affect the really old and extremely obese.

Any time I see a younger person dying from it they have had 5 heart surgeries or look like they weigh in around 400+ pounds.

Nobody knows we need to be concerned when sports are going to start

No one will ever know. Considering the fact that many deaths not actually by covid are being reported as covid in our country who even knows anymore.

In the US, they only report it as a Covid death if they had a positive test. There are 1000's dead who never got a test, even though they died of respiratory failure (the main cause with Covid). There might be a few who had a heart-attack and were counted as a covid death, but that is mainly a conservative talking point. The official death count is underestimating covid deaths.

Yes. That was a projection based on zero lockdown

The 1st reported WuhanBatVirus death in California the woman's heart was blown apart.
The inscutable disease did horrendous damage.

(CNN)A 57-year-old Northern California woman whose February 6 death has become the first known coronavirus-related fatality in the US had been in relatively good health, her brother told CNN.

She was Patricia Dowd, a Bay Area woman who worked as a manager for a semiconductor company and who "exercised routinely, watched her diet and took no medication," the Los Angeles Times first reported Wednesday.
Rick Cabello, Dowd's older brother, told CNN she didn't smoke and was in good health.
"She was an athlete in her high school days, she was always active," Cabello said Wednesday. Her sudden death was a shock to family members. They all believed it was a heart attack, Cabello said.

Patricia Dowd




California's Santa Clara County had announced Tuesday that tissue samples confirmed two people who had died in early February tested positive for coronavirus -- well before the United States' previously understood first coronavirus-related death on February 29 in Washington state.
One victim was a 57-year-old woman who died on February 6, and the other was a 69-year-old man who died on February 17, the county said. The county did not name the woman, but Cabello told the Los Angeles Times and CNN that she was Dowd, his sister.
Neither patient had a recent history of travel that would have exposed them to the virus, Santa Clara County Department of Public Health Director Dr. Sara Cody said in a Wednesday news conference, and officials are presuming both cases represent community transmission.
'She had flu-like symptoms'

Before Dowd was found dead February 6, "she had flu-like symptoms for a few days, then appeared to recover," the Los Angeles Times reported.

Five days before she died, Dowd called her brother to tell him she couldn't make it to a family visit in Stockton, California.
"She wasn't feeling well, which was very unusual for her," Cabello said. "I remember her specifically saying 'I'm not feeling well,'" he added.
She also had canceled plans to go a weekend funeral, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Dowd started working from home as her condition improved and had been in touch with a colleague around 8 a.m. on the day of her death. She was found dead about two hours later, according to the Los Angeles Times.

I think even more than that

How many in Africa that weren't counted?

[DOM-Ganador]

Zero deaths in North Korea. I buy that.

[hostile takeover]

The argument is invalid.

Any country other than the United States leading in numbers would mean we can't blame Trump for everything.
