So what do you do when they stop reporting Covid deaths?

The Fed.Gov is going to stop asking hospitals to report deaths from Covid.  Since all that will be reported is case counts (and possibly hospitalizations, although that is far from clear), what do you do over the next few months?

Retired ER doctor Tim Wolter has an outstanding summary of the current - and likely last - set of actual data and what it means.  I recommend that you read the entire information-dense post and bookmark it.

In particular, the data he shows from Florida are extremely interesting: 7 day moving average of cases in January: 60,000.  7 day moving average of deaths in January: 9.  That's a case fatality rate of 0.015%.

And this is particularly telling:

Digging deeper into [Minnesota] stats you find that the average "case" is 36 years old, the average ICU hospitalized patient is 63 and the average age of those dying from Covid is 80. That stat caught my eye. To have an average age of 80 there must be some real oldsters in the sample set. Indeed, deaths were recorded in patients ranging from age 1 to age 109.

Remember, this data will no longer be reported so it will no longer be possible to use actual death data to show that Covid is a disease that is dangerous almost exclusively to the very old and very sick.  Remember to get your 2 year old quadruple vaxed and always masked up - never mind that she's not yet talking because she's developmentally stunted.  Got to protect those sick Boomers!

It's getting very hard indeed to avoid straying into the fever swamps when you look at the crude propaganda coming from our health care institutions.  Qui bono, indeed?

Note: it's been a while since I've tagged a post with my tag "evil".  But here's an excerpt from that last post which seems more and more to apply to the CDC and other "elite" institutions ostensibly tasked with keeping the population safe:

The ancient Romans were said to make a land into a desert, and then call it peace.  I mean, there were no more folks opposing their rule after they had killed most of the folks, amirite?


The Fed.Gov will make a desert and then call it "health".  This is the end game.  Don't let a crisis go to waste.

* It's not The Virus From Hell.  You want to see a disease from Hell?  Here you go.

Yeah, this is a bit ranty.

There is no rant big enough to characterize what has been foisted on people. No one has a clue as to long term effects of this experiment.

Natzsofast, Guido:

1) Fatalities aren't instantaneous with any pandemic disease.
For COVID, either tell us what cases were 14-21 days ago, or what deaths are 14-21 days from now, before you gin up an imaginary CFR, on a disease that takes 14-21 days to kill a person.

Otherwise, you're simply guilty of lying with statistics. We usually let the government do that, bowing to their many years of experience and acknowledged expertise.

2) "To have an average age of 80 there must be some real oldsters in the sample set."

False.
All the deaths could also simply be clustered right around the 80-year mark.
Considering that's exactly where they are clustered already, it's nothing unusual that they're still there. The average age of death in the U.S. is 78.79 years, and the highest death rate from all causes is (duh!) those 85 and up.

Life itself is "dangerous almost exclusively to the very old and very sick."
Since ever.
You could look it up.

This is either simple statistical sloppiness, or confirmation-biased agenda-shopping.
I spot you the benefit of the doubt.

Neither of those points makes the CDC and the other PTB either honest nor altruistic; in fact, they are neither.

But there's enough ginned-up hokum and horsesh*t about this two-year pustulent open civilizational sore without adding to the collection, don'cha think?

Damn them for what they actually do (like hiding the data in the first place), and leave damning them for made-up things to someone else.

They've lost control, so now making it go away... sigh

Aesop raises a good point. An average age doesn't tell you much. The average age of those 109 and 1 year old deaths is 55, and says nothing about the population. The two week gap between getting infected and getting sick enough to pass is a first approximation, too; I've heard of people getting treated many times longer than two weeks, like months, but the scale doesn't go negative, so it's got some serious kurtosis.

However...

While I tend to not put any weight on generational labels like Boomer or millennial, it has been obvious since that cruise ship in Japan in early '20 that this was a disease that takes out the older and sicker members of the population. And what infectious disease doesn't affect the oldest, frailest, sickest members of society the most? They were calling it "the Boomer remover" by February of '20.

Sacrificing all of society from the youngest to the oldest to protect the oldest, sickest portion is just plain wrong. Is it a coincidence that Fauci, Birks, FJB, and all the other leaders sacrificing the children are in that Boomer demographic?

I'd lay my life down to protect my granddaughter or my kids and I could never consider sacrificing them to add a few years to my life. I don't see how any adult could consider sacrificing their kids or anyone's kids to do so.

Unfortunately (ref. "sacrificing the children"), we probably should see it coming. My fellow Boomers, after all, have an awful lot who are happy enough to beggar their grandchildren for "free" boner pills.
