The coronavirus outbreak was all about the number of dead. The narrative was intended to boost governors like Cuomo in New York and Whitmer in Michigan, who turned their states authoritarian under the false notion that destroying people’s jobs, freedom, and lives would somehow keep a virus from doing what viruses always do: spread through a population until eventually losing strength and dying out.
The “death count” was always the headline.

I respect Ron Paul, but if he uses numbers they better be correct. There has only been a single day where deaths were at 10% of the April peak and that was on June 21. June 28 was another day that was close to 10%. Since that peak the number of deaths had constantly decreased and in mind June ranged around 30-25% from that April peak. They are currently approaching an average of 20%. This is the nature of a peak and a curve, it will reach a top and then the numbers will diminish. But to say that they… Read more »
