At the rate Covid -19 deaths are going , I have my doubts that every single death is from Covid -19 and not from other underlying conditions !!
The progressive DINOCzars - the media, democrats in congress, in governors mansions and mayors offices, Google (youtube), Facebook and twitter - have politicized Covid-19 and are using it as a weapon, they have politicized HCQ, the only existing effective prophylaxis, in order to condemn it. They have condemned a bevy of reputable doctors and medical scientists who not only have used HCQ successfully but are speaking in support of its use.
Look what the leftists have done to "combat covid" - they've shut down our businesses, schools, churches, stores, entertainment, recreation, travel, and many other areas of human interaction and relationships. They have demanded we wear a cloth mask and maintain an arbitrary distance of 6 feet from all other human beings. And, they have implemented penalties for non-compliance. This is the "science" of the left.
We are being dehumanized, PR, no better way to control us.
There is no doubt that the death rate is being inflated.
We should thank our lucky stars that this is not a global Ebola pandemic.
As lethal viruses go, Covid-19 is relatively tame compared to the hottest killers. Like the flu virus, the coronavirus agent is a bristling sphere, somewhat like a peppercorn, and it is selective in who and how it attacks - 8 out of 10 covid deaths are among those over 65 years and who have serious health issues like heart and/or respiratory diseases and diabetes. The Covid-19 virus essentially overwhelms an already weakened immune system.
By contrast, the Ebola agent is a filovirus - they are long and thin, resembling fibrous threads. Filoviruses cause a type of disease called a hemorrhagic fever, characterized by very high fever, excessive bleeding, and lack of blood coagulation.
(In his book, The Hot Zone, Richard Preston gives a detailed description of the way in which Ebola kills - it is horrifying to say the least, like something you would see in a SciFi horror movie. Essentially, the Ebola virus attempts to become the host and it is a bloody antibiosis that destroys everything but skeletal muscles and bone. Once Ebola gains a foothold in its host, it grows and spreads at a phenomenal rate. It separates the skin from underlying flesh, turns vital organs to jelly, and the last shit an Ebola victim takes is black feces engorged with blood and parts of the intestinal walls.)
Ebola does not discriminate, it attacks any human or primate regardless of age, race, or physiological health. Ebola can jump between humans and animals in a flash and its mutation rate is very high, it can even mutate within a host already infected.
Among the five known Ebola strains, the death rate is between 50% and 90% - the Zaire Ebola being the hottest kills 9 out of 10 people infected. Pregnant women are doomed. The Ebola virus has been classified as a Class A bioterrorism agent.
Currently there are no licensed vaccines to prevent Ebola virus disease. However, multiple investigational Ebola vaccines have been tested in numerous clinical trials around the world. There is no cure.
I cannot imagine the death toll if a global Ebola pandemic broke out and the progressive left politicized it as they have with Covid-19 and then implemented such Draconian measures intended to control the people and not the virus.
In the case of Covid-19, the DINOCzars don't give a tinker's damn about human life, their objective is solely to destroy president Trump and our Republic. The more deaths from Covid, the more powerful the weapon they wield against us.
The most dangerous "virus" we face is not Covid or Ebola, it is the leftist progressive movement.
