Yes.

McRib's small rural hospitals in southern middle TN are weighted down by so much administrative bureaucracy.

"Pandemics are curbed by caring and by persistent urgency. The lack of these may cost us as a nation in many ways."

"Although the U.S. has 4.25% of the world’s population, it has now borne approximately 16% of worldwide deaths from Covid-19. It is the primary cause of the sharp drop in U.S. life expectancy over the past two years. This summer, we reached a bleak plateau of around 40,000 hospitalizations each day and 500 daily Covid deaths..."

Thanks

 

[McDad]

Helpful.

Is the one lesson to lose weight?

What a total piece-of-crap of an article. Basically all of it is meaningless.

Several mentions of children not being "vaccinated" as part of the faux problem, yet none are in the hospital and virtually zero healthy children suffered serious illness during the more aggressive strains. Continued worry over case numbers, yet ICUs are empty and vents sit unused. New variants continue to emerge despite mRNA shots, and they are weaker/more natural/akin to common coronaviruses, and they will continue to do so.
Time spent on the relaxation of mask, school, testing, and isolation policies, none of which made a difference.

It's over. Move on.

Now do you think losing several hundred thousand 80+ citizens hurt our life expectancy more than losing 200k under 40 citizens to drug overdoses? Who lost more years off their expected lifespan?

But Vol Main posted some super scary stuff. Youre just a health care provider, while he has proven to be an expert on a great many topics.

That is an excellent point.

 

[newyorkvol]

Per CDC:
>65 - 75% of deaths
30-64 - 24% of deaths
<30 - 1% of deaths

Why are you so worried about the #1 killer of healthy, younger adults in this country when there's A DAMN PANDEMIC GOING ON?!?!

For perspective: a quick statistical analysis puts the average age of death with a diagnosis of CV19 @ around 73 years old in the U.S.

Life expectancy is around 76.

Opiods (esp synthetic) are the leading cause of death for those 18-45 in the U.S, exceeding 100,000 in the last year alone. Assuming the average age of overdose death is around 35, opiods were responsible for a loss of approximately (76-35)*100,000 = 4,100,000 person-years in 2021. If the trajectory continues, that would be around 10,000,000 person-years lost since the start of the pandemic.

Now, tell me which is a bigger problem.

We discussed this very early in the pandemic with regard to the outrageous reactions to it. The actions did not match the man years being lost. We were sabotaging education of youth, destroying supply chains, increasing poverty, etc. To fight a virus that by and large kills people that were already close to their deaths.

It’s almost like the powers that be were following Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals.

1. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. "
2. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."
3. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative."
4. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
5. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

I wonder how many people across the world died of covid in the hospital vs. died of "covid" in the hospital and the hospital got a boatload of money

Plenty. I would also pose the question how many died post shot, my answer would be close to the same.
