They really think you are stupid

That's how they get ya. In my state they got caught counting all deaths as covid deaths. Instead of shit canning all the 'medical professionals' involved, they explained that it was impossible to tell who had it due to testing issues and they just had to use their 'best guesses' as facts. Funny how the media let em get away with that...

Funny those 2020 stats are for a year that's only 3/4 through, so I guess we should take them as real numbers and not estimates.

Well, what you do is divide by three and times by four to get a projection of what the numbers will be by the end of the year.

The point is that they are expected numbers, not actual. Keep reaching. The op is using satire to point out that all the numbers are skewed for politics, but not everyone can grasp truth from satire.

You want to use three quarters of the number instead? It still only knocks off about 600 deaths from the 200,000+. The argument does not add up. The ONLY reason to think the coronavirus death toll comes from non-coronavirus deaths if you just did not look up the numbers for yourself.

You're conflating your argument now. The covid deaths are 6% of the total number, according to the Cdc. Compare that to other illnesses, such as the seasonal flu.

Thanks for proving those facts, you're the best. Of course, I inserted the part about mass shootings myself. I don't have any fancy 'facts & figures', but I have hardly heard of any mass shootings since March, mainly because there are no mass gatherings at schools, work, or churches.

You really think you can just say that my comments meant the opposite of what they meant?

At best, you can credit Trump for lowering traffic deaths by about 400.

So, 199,600 deaths left on the balance.
