Good read, worthwhile.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Deaths are an easy thing to focus on (and should be relatively easy to count), but it's not the whole picture either.There are reports of long lasting organ damage, significant blood clotting issues, and who knows what else might show up later on? What if it does something like shingles but worse?


So there's still hope for a ZA?  [ar15]

600,000 People Who Never Took a COVID Test Were Told They Have the Virus

So it was just chance that Switzerland was one of the few countries on earth that fit your narrative and just google chance made it first? And that also explains why you hot linked graphics and had to ignore half of the other picture you linked?

Hahaha, sure bro. I guess Pollyanna would buy that hahahshs

Ah, so now I'm a liar.

Well, congratulations, I re-ran the search to see if my recollection was correct.

Seems I was wrong. It wasn't the first link. It was the first link that didn't come from March or April, as I wanted to have as recent an estimate as I could get. You got me, it was all a dastardly plan to trick everyone into thinking that I might read all kinds of different items.

As for why I discounted the CDC data, I stated CLEARLY when I posted that chart that since it was based off of verified cases and deaths, it was clearly not a valid estimate of the actual death rate. I'm obviously just a dolt listening to my "mates on facebook"
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I'm going to bookmark this and look at it again in August. Assuming I'm still around.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/forecasting-model-predicts-when-each-state-will-likely-hit-coronavirus-peak-gives-possible-total-deaths

The prediction was for about 93,000 U.S. deaths by today. Then again, there's reason to believe the "actual" number is inflated. Same thing with New York, but worse. For my state, the numbers are impressively close, although our "peak death " day came a month earlier.

Sorry. Forgot to include the link.

I guess, while not close, that's not totally off for here in Idaho, given the +- factor. They predicted 397 and we've had 202, out of 22,000 cases, with our biggest outbreaks occurring only over the last few weeks.

I wish the linked URL would have also given known infection estimates as well as deaths. They must have had that number in order to do their death estimates.

OMG!!!1!!1

I've had it for decades!


On a side note. I was admitted to the hospital over 24 hours ago and have yet to be subjected to a covid test that requires brain tissue like the one I had before my shoulder surgery in June.

There were conspiracy theories about 5G cell signals controlling COVID.

Oh, those. He's a flip-phone guy. I could probably just tell him I got my phone upgraded to 5G, and it would have the same effect.

Actually, he's probably not into the 5G stuff, as that's a blame China sort of thing. That is not his bag. There was a customer in the store today saying that we made the virus here, and sent it to China for testing, and Conspiracy Bro readily agreed with him that this was well-known.

Also, he's all about Freemasons controlling the world right now.  :facepalm:
