It is amazing that was considered something to be censored off of Twitter. My supposition is part of the reason why Covid registers even less deadly than the flu, is that it was tested far more so the CFR rate was bound to be much lower to the higher number of testing. But the actual numbers are also lower.

Actual numbers for a fradulent CoD are zero but you are correct that the level and magnitude of testing for SARS-CoV-2 dwarfed testing for seasonal influenza by a quite a bit. Similar was true when H1N1 was launched

Of course, your right. My suspicion early on that it was just another cold/flu variant in 2019, but one of my earliest arguments as more testing increased is that it would prove to be far less dangerous...as many "asymptomatic" tested positive.

Bergamo and New York events were used to "prove" it was dangerous and justify illegal mass quarantines. Virus drops like a bomb in the largest city in the US and kills 20K people. I mean, that WOULD be cause for concern, wouldn't it?

Imagine these aren't entirely-as-depicted. Yikes. https://www.woodhouse76.com/p/yes-we-believe-the-bergamo-italy
