Or a hoax. Whatever.
Maybe you believe that the pandemic is overblown. Or that the government is handling it badly. Or that it was released by or being used by some cabal to advance a new world order.
Whatever you believe a lot more people are dead than usual.
Calling it fake or a hoax is a pretty crummy reply to anyone who is ill with it, has a relative who is hospitalized, or friends/family that have died.
The US is closing in on 275,000 dead. That is closing in on the total casualties of multiple wars combined omitting WWII (more than three and a half years) and the Civil War (4 years; prior to modern medicine) - 278,854.
Yes, the elderly and unhealthy are more at risk of dying. I doubt that is any comfort to their families. Some very fit and healthy looking people are dying earlier from it too.
We haven't hit Spanish Flu numbers yet (675,000) and I hope we won't.

Uhhh you’re wrong.
No more people have died than normal, several studies have shown this. They have all been subsequently “retracted” because... you know why.

Edit: labeling them all as dying from something doesn’t change the fact that no more people have died than normal. Don’t give in to their lies

Can we stop quoting those numbers. The majority of those covid deaths had other underlying issues. I would hardly attribute covid played a significant part in the majority of the deaths that occurred. It has a survival rate of over 99% for 70 and under. And the average lifespan of human is like mid 70s. Why are we even taking this chit serious?
Also, so many tests have been proven to generate fake positives. Those numbers are not reliable at all and its annoying how no one addresses this

It's not fake.
It's not as dangerous as people are making it out to be and is being used as a political tool.
People bring up numbers but they dont bring up the number inflation and how Flu deaths are pretty much non-existent now because they are being classified as Covid. I believe all overall deaths are lower than normal right now.NDSU Crew

Not a hoax but blown as far out of proportion as humanly possible. It's a Flu that isn't very deadly unless you're a fat or unhealthy in general. Time to move on and stop being stupid bitches.

Markus Paul of the Dallas Cowboys has not been listed as a COVID death yet that I'm aware of (it's listed as a Non-COVID medical emergency). Cause of death is pending. Not a great article to use for your point here when many believe that lots of deaths are being attributed to COVID when in reality an underlying health factor was the real cause, the person just happened to test positive for COVID.

Did you read your own link?
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.
If you think the reporting on total deaths is being manipulated this is from a poster on another board who has been tracking/modeling the virus. FWIW he is a Trump supporter who thinks the election was corrupted:

if Obama was President these people (right wingers etc.) wouldn't call it a hoax
they'd say Obama is killed 250k+ Americans and hold a million hearings about Obama's failure and how he coordinated with China to attack America with Covid19
the only reason they dont care about 250k+ Americans dying is they cannot criticize their favorite President, or else they'd be banished from the Trump cult forever (srs)

people are calling it "fake" to bring attention to how subsequent lockdowns have completely destroyed people's lives and how government are using it as an excuse to take away your basic rights, encroaching on your freedoms and be completely at their mercy. governments have been using the tired excuse "it's because of covid!" to enforce every draconian measure under the sun.
yes people die but in Japan alone in the month of October more people have died to suicide (it's up more than normal) than Covid-19, WHO projects worldwide that many more people will starve and be thrust into poverty due to these lockdowns so you have to ask yourself are these lockdowns really worth it and are they really effective? We are looking at massive wealth transfers/inequities, high unemployment, money just being pissed away from the government like candy, increased government dependency, etc. It makes no sense that they are locking down Gen Z'ers and millenials, these will be the generations that will feel the full brunt of these lockdowns for years to come in an era where boomers already hold most of the wealth.positivity brah crew

It’s not fake but why should I give a fuk? I’m a healthy 28 year old man... I’m more likely to be killed by a yeti than I am by covid.
Ironically it is the portion of the population which is least likely to be effected by this virus in terms of health which has been the most impacted by it (it being the regulations lol).

Just lol if you believe those bullsh*t numbers.. some 23 year old died a few weeks ago in a motorcycle accident in my town.. Wanna guess what they put down as cause of death?? I'll give you a hint, it wasn't the SUV that he hit while flying through an intersection.
