Winter is Coming - the COVID chronicles

[Cuddles]

What facts are those? The ones where you claim you understand the Scientific Method, but continually show examples on this forum where you don't?

Or maybe the fact is that you are so hyper partisan that you pretend to be someone other than the "moderate" you claim you are in real life?

Or maybe a different fact? Can you tell me the fact?

You might want to put me back on ignore if this is the best you've got, man.

What point is there to showing facts to cultists who'll dismiss them as fake news?

Who could've seen that coming? Oh those that understand science and exponential growth

Also, source?

Heard it on CNN earlier this morning.

So that's your excuse, then? Ok, your failure to provide your "facts" is noted!

I think I've shown that I am open to discussion if you've got something. But if you don't, well I totally understand.

Let me say that COVID is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. this year. I deeply question at this point that it has increased its ranking to number 1 or 2.

I've been posting articles from reputable sources for years now. Not my fault you find facts "partisan" and "untrustworthy".

This is as of today. Because of the latest death toll. 3rd place is so November.

This is as of today. Because of the latest death toll. 3rd place is so yesterday.

I only see third but from October. If Trump's CDC is to be trusted (lol), heart disease seems to be leading. Then again I'd have to see how those heart deaths differ from the last two years and if they're being shifted from COVID

This is as of today. Because of the latest death toll.

According to the CDC the two top causes of deaths in the U.S. are (with numbers)

• Heart disease: 655,381
• Cancer: 599,274

I don't believe we have gone above 300,00 for documented COVID deaths yet.

I'm not saying you haven't posted anything reputable. But we were talking about the Scientific Method.

I'm not saying you haven't posted anything reputable. But we were talking about the Scientific Method.

Hypothesis:
Novel virus kills people.
Testing:
Millions infected
Results:
Hundreds of thousands of deaths above previous year averages
Conclusion:
COVID causes an increase in deaths exacerbating the odds of those with comorbidities

The above was clear to anyone familiar with the scientific method back in December of last year (at a much lower death count mind you).
