*From Bob Klein:*
> *From the alarmist coverage by the New York Times and other major media,
>> all screaming that*
>>
> *"CORONAVIRUS CASES ARE INCREASING," you'd never know that
> COVID-19 death rates—the *
> * only meaningful **statistic—are falling steeply, or gradually
> declining, everywhere in the US, even *
> * in states that reopened five **weeks ago. Likewise, the death rate in
> Brazil—where, according to*
> * the Times, the coronavirus has been "surging"—has not increased, but
> has held steady at a *
> * level far below the officially reported death rate in the USA.*
>
> *The lurid coverage has obscured this crucial point: While
>> COVID-19 cases are increasing due to *
>>
> *increased testing, the death rate has been going down. Moreover,* *the
> number of those killed by*
> * COVID-19 constitutes a very small percentage—0.16%—of the cases
> overall; most of those who *
> * have **succumbed are elderly, with comorbidities; and, in the
> worst-hit states, those deaths have*
> * occurred mainly in hospitals and nursing homes. *
>
>
>> *The death rate is increasing in Mexico and India, but the actual rate is
>> one-sixth or -seventh what it*
>>
> *ever was in the US (2,000 per day, at least according to official
>> figures), and it will never reach the*
>>
> *level that the “exceptional” US has suffered for several reasons, such as
>> the homicidal protocol,*
>>
> *approved by (Democratic) governors like New York's Andrew Cuomo,
> Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer*
> * and California's Gavin Newsom, whereby **COVID patients have been
> moved to nursing homes, and*
> * ventilators have been used in hospitals, **with often fatal
> consequences. Such lethal measures, in*
> * conjunction with insurance regulations that encourage diagnosing
> patients with COVID-19, whether*
> * they have it or not, and noting COVID-19 as the cause of death, even
> when it isn't, have artificially*
> * inflated the COVID-19 death rate in America. *

> *Check out the New York Times' own statistics, which contradict the
> doom-saying in the Times'*
> * headlines and ledes. COVID-19 is on its way out, having largely run
> its natural course, as such*
> * pandemics always do (unless they're artificially revived). As the
> virus weakens, those managing*
> * this crisis are intensifying their efforts to rush out a new vaccine
> to "fight" it, and then force it on*
> * us all; and, even as the virus keeps on weakening, and even though it
> doesn't threaten children,*
> * the masters of this crisis want to keep the panic going, either by
> closing schools this fall, or by*
> * so tightly regulating every move by every single student that our
> schools will be like mental *
>
*hospitals, **or prisons. *
