Wondering how all of these people are catching Corona? The government should be gathering data from those infected as understanding how/where/why would help stop the spread.

Eg. do they work in a public facing role, regularly use public transport, fail to wear a mask, or wipe down a trolley, or sanitise their hands when shopping (seen many people not doing at least two of these), illegally meet up with family living in a different household etc

In covid deaths per capita there were 3 countries ( at least with populations of over a million ) with reported deaths of over 100 per million last week ( Saturday to Friday ) - ie. over 1 in 10,000 in just a week. The UK was in between the contingent parts of the old Czechoslovakia.

1. Czech Rep. 116 per million
2. UK 110  ( 7462 in 68.08 million ) 
3. Slovakia 105

Every silver lining has a cloud

We did it! In less than a year, too.

Numbers are starting to drop - lockdown effect. Still very high though.

 Death rates will continue to rise probably for a month or more, really only now looking at the sickest patients having had a months worth of ITU.

Those who die who've had a month's worth of ITU, though, won't show up on the covid figures - it's only the people who die within 28 days of the test.

(They'll be in the general mortality figures, of course)

An article about COVID deaths in the US, they do in fact appear to rename COVID 19 deaths, and there is a corresponding drop in all the other main causes of death. Article remains in the internet archive as it was pulled from public use shortly after putting it up, says loads really!

 Yup. And the additional 400,000 deaths over other years are just "unexplained". Definitely nothing to do with Covid.

 The article was definitely withdrawn because of a cover up as it is indisputably the truth, and nothing at all to do with it being wrong. From the "internet archive" linked:

Editors Note: After The News-Letter published this article on Nov. 22, it was brought to our attention that our coverage of Genevieve Briands presentation COVID-19 Deaths: A Look at U.S. Data has been used to support dangerous inaccuracies that minimize the impact of the pandemic.

We decided on Nov. 26 to retract this article to stop the spread of misinformation, as we noted on social media. However, it is our responsibility as journalists to provide a historical record. We have chosen to take down the article from our website, but it is available here as a PDF.

 In accordance with our standards for transparency, we are sharing with our readers how we came to this decision. The News-Letter is an editorially and financially independent, student-run publication. Our articles and content are not endorsed by the University or the School of Medicine, and our decision to retract this article was made independently.

 Briands study should not be used exclusively in understanding the impact of COVID-19, but should be taken in context with the countless other data published by Hopkins, the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

 As assistant director for the Masters in Applied Economics program at Hopkins, Briand is neither a medical professional nor a disease researcher. At her talk, she herself stated that more research and data are needed to understand the effects of COVID-19 in the U.S.

Briand was quoted in the article as saying, All of this points to no evidence that COVID-19 created any excess deaths. Total death numbers are not above normal death numbers. This claim is incorrect and does not take into account the spike in raw death count from all causes compared to previous years. According to the CDC, there have been almost 300,000 excess deaths due to COVID-19. Additionally, Briand presented data of total U.S. deaths in comparison to COVID-19-related deaths as a proportion percentage, which trivializes the repercussions of the pandemic. This evidence does not disprove the severity of COVID-19; an increase in excess deaths is not represented in these proportionalities because they are offered as percentages, not raw numbers.

Briand also claimed in her analysis that deaths due to heart diseases, respiratory diseases, influenza and pneumonia may be incorrectly categorized as COVID-19-related deaths. However, COVID-19 disproportionately affects those with preexisting conditions, so those with those underlying conditions are statistically more likely to be severely affected and die from the virus.

 Because of these inaccuracies and our failure to provide additional information about the effects of COVID-19, The News-Letter decided to retract this article. It is our duty as a publication to combat the spread of misinformation and to enhance our fact-checking process. We apologize to our readers.

 -- As a general principle, I would suggest not getting ones view of the news from sites with a subhead "Revealing Mystery Babylon". From elsewhere on the site:

God has put it clearly on my heart that it is not enough for me & my family to not take the vaccine. He wants me to continue to share the damaging effects of this vaccine with not only His people but also non-Believers. The complexity and weight of this responsibility can feel difficult at times but I believe ALL of us must try to help others gain wisdom about this
