But you won't find anybody in the MSM pointing that out. I heard an in-depth report today speculating on the reasons why Africa has done well. All sorts of speculation imaginable, but no mention of this.

Pointing what out? Some unfounded speculation that it might be due to a drug that has yet to be fully studied for its effectiveness with a novel virus? All the while ignoring all the evidence so far that says it's not an effective treatment?

C'mon man...this need to somehow make trump actually credible about something in all this quite is troubling.

Also, maybe everyone is blowing this virus out of proportion.

True...6 million+ have had it in the U.S. How many people had the flu last year? No one, for the most part, freaks out about that or shuts the whole damn country down.

True...190k people in the U.S. have died while having COVID-19. How many actually died of it? Don't forget that there is not a financial incentive in Africa to call every death COVID related.

You're still trying to claim this is a normal flu?

This country is so ******. SMH

4% of 190K. 96% have other underlying chronic illnesses.

First, your number is complete malarkey...second, doesn't the seasonal flu also hit those same people with underlying illnesses? How many of them die each year?

Quote:In other words, 6% of people who died when they had COVID-19 didn't have underlying conditions, such as diabetes, asthma or heart disease, and didn't experience any medical complications, such as kidney failure or sepsis. But the other 94% of deaths were still caused by COVID-19, infectious disease experts said. That's because many chronic, underlying conditions can make diseases that a person might otherwise recover from, such as COVID-19, suddenly deadly.

"When you look at the number of excess deaths this year in comparison with previous years, it's staggering," Dr. William Hanage, a professor of epidemiology at Harvard University’s School of Public Health told Live Science. That's an estimated 228,200 additional deaths in the United States, according to the Weinberger Lab at the University of California, San Francisco. Hanage noted that many of the people who have died so far had nonfatal diseases and would not have perished but for contracting the new coronavirus as well. For instance, someone with diabetes or high-blood pressure might have lived decades longer if they had not contracted COVID-19. Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of preventative medicine and infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Tennessee, echoed the same reality. "The point is that those people would not have died except that they were carried away by COVID," Schaffner told Live Science.

Viral claim that only 6% of COVID-19 deaths were caused by the virus is flat-out wrong

WHATCHA TALKIN’ ‘BOUT WILLIS

Ask the commie to show his "evidence" that it's not an effective treatment. And "CNN says so" is not evidence.

My daughter's friend tested positive back in April. Lives with her mom who didn't get the virus............and has Lupus taking hydroxy. Purely coincidence since Covid isn't very contagious.

His side isn't required to show actual proof of anything. Merely stating something is proof enough.
