Twinblade★ 4,233 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 What a misleading thread. Death rate =/= Deaths. In fact, the death rate for not just covid but influenza related illnesses in general is falling Also, there is still a VERY good likelihood that the numbers are being inflated. Don't ask for me sources, but if you do your own research you'll find that the numbers aren't as accurate as they should be. Link to post Share on other sites

We're still at 1k+ deaths a day here in this country. Link to post Share on other sites

Don't ask for me sources right-wing mentality, in a nutshell. I'm laughing because it would otherwise just be depressing. I'm literally posting "pneumonia deaths" statistics being completely out of whack, and this guy thinks that the deaths are being OVER-counted. Link to post Share on other sites

So you just want to make unfounded claims without having any accountability of actually backing up what you said with sources. So what you just posted not only did not have a source, its akin to a conspiracy theory because you just pulled it out from thin air. That's two rules you broke in one post. Rules 7. claims need to be backed up w/ links 8. no conspiracy theories Why even make the rules if Mods can't even follow it @Alphonse and @-GD- Edited August 3, 2020 by Goukosan Link to post Share on other sites
