THIS IS STRANGE: TOTAL US DEATHS IN MARCH 2020 ARE ACTUALLY DOWN 15% FROM AVERAGE OF PRIOR FOUR YEARS + The Worldwide Lockdown May Be the Greatest Mistake in History – What Really Went Down?
[INTRODUCTION BY ADINA KUTNICKI: Whereas hard data {emphasis placed}can’t be denied, wished away, smoked or fudged, “modeling” charts can be skewed “six ways to Sunday.” Yes, honest brokers know that this is the case — never mind that crooked docs, professorial types and a gaggle of science-based professionals attest to the “result!”
Introducing, the smugger than smug (science) Prof Neil Ferguson and his single-handed, non-scientific-based modeling; his affinity for the brutal “WUHAN response” which influenced global lock-downs, as well as his inability to “shelter-in-place” — you know the type, “do as I say and not as I do, so, just shut up and sit down” — even as he hectored the masses otherwise! Not only that, Ferg was so hot to trot, you know, his pants were on fire, he just had to meet his married mistress to get “busy.” Making matters wildly hypocritical and even more egregious, the prof had corona, still yet, he had to get laid! Listen to the whole sordid truth…..
By extrapolation and to the nth degree, their so-called “modeling” predictions may very well depend upon what political outcome is most desirable. Understood? Alas, reality has a way of biting back, therefore, the following tells the tale: Fauci lied, the economy died. Period.
In this regard, if ever a tailor-made moment in time existed for the totalitarian-bent to grab onto a crisis at hand for dear life, it was the unleashing of the CHINESE WUHAN-designed virus! Incontestably, the evidence is piling up that the CHI-COM regime — a beyond the pale dictatorship — created a bio-terrorism weapon, still yet, America’s fascist Dem leaders can’t bring themselves to register any fury at their malevolence, rather, they are busy pummeling President Trump!
In light of the above, plus so much more, is anyone shocked that fudging death stats became the ultimate political weapon, of course, leading to an unprecedented national lock-down? Read on….]

WHAT IS GOING ON? AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT AND KILLING THE GREATEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD DUE TO DEATHLY ESTIMATES FROM SPECIALISTS ON THE CORONAVIRUS, THE DATA IS SHOWING THAT THIS MAY BE ONE GREAT BIG MISTAKE OR HOAX.
According to data obtained from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics Mortality Surveillance System website, total U.S. deaths for the first three weeks of March are DOWN 10% from the average of the prior four years for the same three week period.
The average for weeks 9 through 11 for the four prior years was a total of 170,555 deaths. For weeks 9 through 11 this year, the total is 153,015, meaning 17,540 fewer people died in America during the first three weeks of March than could be reasonably expected. And the gap between historic deaths and weekly deaths is widening. For week 11, just 47,655 Americans died, 8,773 and 15% fewer than the average for week 11 in the prior four years. And while data on week 12 is not complete, it is trending similar to week 11 and will likely be down by 15% (around 8,700 deaths less than expected) even though 1,919 COVID-19 deaths were reported (in week beginning 3/22).
NOW AFTER DEATHS FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF MARCH ARE REPORTED, THE RESULTS SHOW THAT DEATHS IN THE US THIS MARCH ARE 15% LESS THAN THE AVERAGE OF THE PAST FOUR YEARS!
IN MARCH OF 2020 THERE WERE 34,000 (rounded) LESS DEATHS THAN THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF DEATHS IN THE US OVER THE FOUR YEARS PRIOR!
According to the CDC’s website, in March 2020 there were a total of 193,000 deaths in the US. The average number of deaths in the US for March over the four years prior to 2020 (2016 – 2019) is 227,000. The difference between this year and the average for the past four years is 34,000. 2020 deaths are 85% of the average of the prior four years.
THE US IS EXPERIENCING 34,000 LESS DEATHS IN 2020 THAN IN THE PRIOR FOUR YEARS BUT WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT A VIRUS THAT TO DATE AS OF MARCH 31, 2020 THAT HAD A TOTAL OF 4,000 US DEATHS? WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BROKEN ESTIMATES AND CONSISTENT MESSAGING IN THE PRESIDENT’S EAR TO SHUT DOWN THE US ECONOMY?

Now that the stats are accurately charted, as opposed to the hype of all hypes, it is imperative to point out the whys and wherefores of the greatest mistake in history; the worldwide lock-down!!
PJMEDIA.com By DENNIS PRAGER May 5, 2020
The idea that the worldwide lockdown of virtually every country other than Sweden may have been an enormous mistake strikes many — including world leaders; most scientists, especially health officials, doctors and epidemiologists; those who work in major news media; opinion writers in those media; and the hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people who put their faith in these people — as so preposterous as to be immoral. Timothy Egan of The New York Times described Republicans who wish to enable their states to open up as “the party of death.”
That’s the way it is today on planet Earth, where deceit, cowardice and immaturity now dominate almost all societies because the elites are deceitful, cowardly and immature.
But for those open to reading thoughts they may differ with, here is the case for why the worldwide lockdown is not only a mistake but also, possibly, the worst mistake the world has ever made. And for those intellectually challenged by the English language and/or logic, “mistake” and “evil” are not synonyms. The lockdown is a mistake; the Holocaust, slavery, communism, fascism, etc., were evils. Massive mistakes are made by arrogant fools; massive evils are committed by evil people.
The forcible prevention of Americans from doing anything except what politicians deem “essential” has led to the worst economy in American history since the Great Depression of the 1930s. It is panic and hysteria, not the coronavirus, that created this catastrophe. And the consequences in much of the world will be more horrible than in America.
The United Nations World Food Programme, or the WFP, states that by the end of the year, more than 260 million people will face starvation — double last year’s figures. According to WFP director David Beasley on April 21: “We could be looking at famine in about three dozen countries. … There is also a real danger that more people could potentially die from the economic impact of COVID-19 than from the virus itself” (italics added).
That would be enough to characterize the worldwide lockdown as a deathly error. But there is much more. If global GDP declines by 5%, another 147 million people could be plunged into extreme poverty, according to the International Food Policy Research Institute.
Foreign Policy magazine reports that, according to the International Monetary Fund, the global economy will shrink by 3% in 2020, marking the biggest downturn since the Great Depression, and the U.S., the eurozone and Japan will contract by 5.9%, 7.5% and 5.2%, respectively. Meanwhile, across South Asia, as of a month ago, tens of millions were already “struggling to put food on the table.” Again, all because of the lockdowns, not the virus.
In one particularly incomprehensible act, the government of India, a poor country of 1.3 billion people, locked down its people. As Quartz India reported on April 22, “Coronavirus has killed only around 700 Indians … a small number still compared to the 450,000 TB and 10,000-odd malaria deaths recorded every year.”
One of the thousands of unpaid garment workers protesting the lockdown in Bangladesh understands the situation better than almost any health official in the world: “We are starving. If we don’t have food in our stomach, what’s the use of observing this lockdown?” But concern for that Bangladeshi worker among the world’s elites seems nonexistent.
The lockdown is “possibly even more catastrophic (than the virus) in its outcome: the collapse of global food-supply systems and widespread human starvation” (italics added). That was published in the left-wing The Nation, which, nevertheless, enthusiastically supports lockdowns. But the American left cares as much about the millions of non-Americans reduced to hunger and starvation because of the lockdown as it does about the people of upstate New York who have no incomes, despite the minuscule number of coronavirus deaths there. Or about the citizens of Oregon, whose governor has just announced the state will remain locked down until July 6. As of this writing, a total of 109 people have died of the coronavirus in Oregon.
An example of how disinterested the left is in worldwide suffering is made abundantly clear in a front-page “prayer” by a left-wing Christian in the current issue of The Nation: “May we who are merely inconvenienced remember those whose lives are at stake.”
“Merely inconvenienced” is how the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, a Protestant minister and president of the North Carolina NAACP, describes the tens of millions of Americans rendered destitute, not to mention the hundreds of millions around the world rendered not only penniless but hungry. The truth is, like most of the elites, it is Barber who is “merely inconvenienced.” Indeed, the American battle today is between the merely inconvenienced and the rest of America.
Michael Levitt, professor of structural biology at Stanford Medical School and winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize in chemistry, recently stated, “There is no doubt in my mind that when we come to look back on this, the damage done by lockdown will exceed any saving of lives by a huge factor.”
To the left, anyone who questions the lockdown is driven by preference for money over lives. Typical of the left’s moral shallowness is this headline on Salon this week:
“It’s Time To Reject the Gods of Commerce: America Is a Society, Not an ‘Economy,’” with the subhead reading, “America Is About People, Not Profit Margins.”
And, of course, to smug editors and writers of The Atlantic, in article after repetitive article, the fault lies not with the lockdown but with President Donald Trump. The most popular article in The Atlantic this week is titled “The Rest of the World Is Laughing at Trump.” The elites can afford to laugh at whatever they want. Meanwhile, the less fortunate — that is, most people — are crying.
