It's not a hoax but was horribly managed and was, is, and will continue to be used by people to gain power and feed into the corruption.
Virus is real

Coverage is overblown

Reaction/Plan was planned and orchestrated

Measures and Management is horrible and hypocritical


TLDR...

Things could be getting real interesting here over the next couple weeks. We had 0 ICU patients and were averaging 30 cases per week as we were generally pretty good at following the rules. Even though we met none of the criteria we were forced into another hard lockdown and 24 hours into this new lockdown it appears that people have decided they aren't really going to be staying at home.

Over 300,000 dead ?

Glad this went away as soon as the election was over!
At our current rate we'll see another hundred thousand dead before a substantial portion of the US is vaccinated.
2000 plus Americans dying every day will hit another 100,000 by sometime in February.
Is your area getting hit hard? I'm thinking it's going to be even worse.


332,000+ COVID19 deaths as of today.

12 days and did 30k+ deaths

holy shit.

Wow. Did anyone think it would actually get this bad?

Didn’t Trump predict 200k as the highest the death count would go. Even his administration has to be realizing they fucked up bad.

Way too many families losing loved ones. Way too much strain and stress on the health care workers.
Way to much long term damage to America.

Some of us said >>300k confirmed by the end of the year. IIRC @Splinty said >250k confirmed by EoY and was mocked in the "Coronavirus Panic" thread.

I remember posting that and saying that if we did that much it would really put a point that we screwed this up badly.
Ever since the summer I have not been surprised by almost anything regarding this pandemic. We have screwed this up completely beyond my wildest dreams.

With some basic interventions ahead of time We probably could have halved the number of deaths and significantly improved the economic situation that is harming so many.

Our leadership has sold us a this or that option.

In March everyone thought it would be way worse.

Edit: Ah, here we are:

The spread of the deadly disease could be far worse than officials claim, with 480,000 Americans expected to die from the virus and 4.8 million hospitalized, according to a presentation hosted by The American Hospital Association (AHA) in February.

those were always with the caveat of 'if we do nothing'...this underscores how ineffective and half-assed the things that we did actually were...

"If we do nothing" was supposed to be in the millions.
the source you linked was one researcher based on data available in February. I don't remember anyone saying "millions dead" in the US at the end of the year.

Maybe 'millions dead' worldwide?

The context was another poster looking at 300k deaths, clutching their pearls because Trump, and pretending that no one ever thought it could be this bad. I pointed out that in the early days of covid you didn't have to look far to find people who thought it would be worse. I just went back in this thread and pulled a quote from the first predictive article I came across. The early days of this thread have aged incredibly.

Remember the early days when they were releasing videos of people collapsing in the streets like they'd been gunned down by Lee Harvey Oswald? Good times.
