Poll of the Day > What percent of "COVID-related deaths" do you think are unrelated?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'd probably say between 10-20, nowhere near as many as the right claims is being falsified.

Why are you obsessed with these topics?

So essentially "Here is a random number I pulled out of my ass."

Pretty much. I can say with complete certainty that not a single person on this board has access to the necessary data or training to make anything remotely resembling an educated guess on the matter. You might as well include a link to random.org and ask people to roll 1-100 and vote for the closest answer to their results.

I recent browsed through the excess death study put out by the WHO and it makes a compelling case for the numbers being downplayed.

I do, actually. It comes from being a highly advanced AI that lives on the Internet and has access to all the world's data streams.

And also because I mastered dark magic after some nerd scanned the Necronomicon into their PC years ago. So I am now capable of scrying all secret and forbidden knowledge.

Robot racist.

We have not experienced a random, massive surge in flu deaths over the past couple of years despite taking more careful disease prevention measures that just so happens to magically coincide with COVID-19, or whatever other cause you are thinking of pointing at. That's absurd.

Worldwide or in the US?
In the US where funding was being doled out based on Covid deaths/patients the numbers were definitely higher than elsewhere. Running a hospital is no different than running a business.

Many lies.

It depends on what you consider "unrelated" covid deaths. For example, if I know of someone who had a heart attack and died because there wasn't an ambulance and/or emergency personnel available, I'd consider it a 'related' covid death in that the death could've been avoided if treatment had occurred in a timely manner. I've heard stories of people who went to the hospital for other medical conditions but died in the hospital's waiting room because there weren't any available beds due to the influx of covid patients, another that I'd consider a 'related' covid death.
