- nickysielicki 6y ago> Unless, we believe magically more people are dying this year due to heart attacks or respiratory diseases I wouldn't say it's "magic" but I do think that this year has been very abnormal to the point that mortality rates aren't directly comparable. Nobody is saying coronavirus isn't real. A lot of people are dying from it, but that doesn't mean it can't be overreported.
- dmode 6y agoIf you are trying to say that there is a global conspiracy across multiple nations to over count COVID deaths, you have do better than say "this year has been weird" to account for excessive deaths.
