You mean including the ones that really died of automobile crashes, cancer, heart attack, old age, or any number of other REAL causes of death and just happened to test positive for covid.

Leftists have no problems ruining their childhoods and making a bad situation worse. I’m sure a lot of leftists had crappy childhoods. So they punish the kids that are actually well adjusted. aae0130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds of Becoming a Lightning Victim (based on averages for 2009-2018): Estimated U.S. population as of 2019: 330,000,000 Average Number of Deaths Reported: 27 Estimated number of Injuries: 243 270 (death + injuries) Odds of being struck in a given year (estimated total deaths + estimated injuries): 1/1,222,000 Odds of being struck in your lifetime (Est. 80 years): 1 in 15,300 Source: National Weather Service Death is a singular lifetime event. You don't understand how to process statistics. 20 times more likely to be struck by lightning in your lifetime than to die from covid. Covid is a hoax. The CDC and now the WHO both agree on that. We have 200,000+ Covid related deaths. If you would not have died when you did, but for contracting Covid, that is a Covid death. And you are mixing your time measurements... you are using a lifetime for lightning strikes and using the past 10 months for Covid deaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you are mixing your time measurements... you are using a lifetime for lightning strikes and using the past 10 months for Covid deaths. Incorrect on all points. The CDC has confirmed there have only been ~9k covid deaths in the US. The reason lightning strikes is a lifetime event is because death by covid is a singular lifetime event. You can't die from covid twice and the odds of being struck multiple times by lightning in your lifetime is astronomically high. But let's take it your way. The chance of dying from covid is still only 3 times greater than being struck by lightning in any given year. I'm neither worried about being struck by lightning nor dying of the hoax virus. aae0130 and D_L 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albacized Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Just as a point of interest, the UK actually did go back and revise their covid death numbers for that very reason...That regardless of actual cause of death (up to and including folks killed in automobile accidents), if you contracted the virus, your death was counted as a covid death (I'm not sure if the death and the time the virus was contracted had to occur in some relatively narrow span of time...or if it was off the rails and they could've called it a virus death even if you had been healthy for several months after contracting it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CDC deaths attributed to Covid-19 are 200,499 as of today. If you'd like to measure the probability of a lightning strike using an 80 year time frame, I can work with that. What is the probability of contracting Covid-19 in an 80 year timeframe? From that we can figure the probability of the case being fatal with some correction factors for age. I'm not worried about dying of lightning or Covid, either. But I'm also not gonna stand on the beach with a 12' surf rod in the middle of a lightning storm.

But the idea that Covid-19 has only resulted in 9,000 deaths flies in the face of excess mortality data. It is a bogus talking point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm neither worried about being struck by lightning nor dying of the hoax virus. I have a much higher chance of dying from a lightning strike while out on the water than dying from COVID. I'm 52 and healthy. COVID doesn't concern me with regard to my health at all. It's a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10. A car accident, skiing accident, boating accident, stabbing by wife incident, cancer (I guess), that's what going to get me. Not COVID. People my age and health are basically impervious. to it. 3 mins ago, Slacker said: .............. I'm not worried about dying of lightning or Covid, either.

True, but we've had more than a few incidents coming back from a tuna run in July in center console that make lightning strikes a legitimate concern for us.

BrianBM Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Fishy Fisher, Little and Steve in Mass are still promoting the idea that Covid 19 is a hoax. 1) If it's a hoax, what did President Trump contract, that put him in Walter Reed? Are he and his doctors part of the hoax? 2) How do you arrange a hoax that goes worldwide, with more than 7 million infections currently known? Boris Johnson damn near died of it. Is he a secret Democratic agent, cooperating with the hoax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
