The "perfect virus," as some have called it because it doesn't kill children (by and large) clearly didn't end up in NYC by accident. The economic engine of the world. Just like it took a few years to uncover the Russian hoax, the "bat virus" will prove to also be a hoax.

How/when/where this virus was planted will someday be told.
When diseases transfer from animals to humans it's called zoonotic spillover. It's very common. Bats and poultry already have Corona viruses and why they aren't affected by them might be a key to finding some kind of cure. Bat biologists have to be very careful not to transfer Corona back to the bat population (horseshoe-nosed bats) that they don't get a novel strain that would harm them. Wet markets with many different species of stressed, diseased, dehydrated, and malnourished animals are the perfect environment for zoonotic spillover. It's happened before. Rabies is also a virus and it's transmitted through saliva, whereas COVID (SARS Cov 2)is transmitted through respiratory droplets.

The only thing I find fishy is the absolute lack of critical thinking and math skills taught in the USA schools. I am not analyzing every place - it's not necessary - but here are three points. There are 300 more before you can cry "conspiracy."


1. COVID tends to kill "old" people more than young. USA / NY have a much higher average age than India. Go look it up. So all things being equal - you can expect fewer people to die in India than the USA, proportionately.
2. NY had more deaths than any urban USA area for two reasons: A late start closing things up, and a population density unmatched by practically anywhere in the world - except maybe Mumbai. Where they locked down - VERY early.
3. Evidence is mounting that summer weakens the virus - maybe only by limiting its "shelf life" outside when ya touch things - but whatever the case - it hit New York in March - gray-winter NE USA March - and it's hitting India NOW - today's temp in Mumbai? 90.



There are many - many - other variable that ALL make perfect sense before I get to any that seem fishy. If a solid FIFTY PERCENT of NY deaths were "fake" somehow - it would change nothing. Because this was not - and is not - about dead people. It's about hospital beds.


Did a single NY hospital ever get "full" during this pandemic? Why, yes, yes they did:

Close enough for me. That was before it got "worse." Ya think they're all lying? ALL of them?

Instead of 31,000, maybe it is 50,000 by now? Below from April:

Again it doesn't matter, the excess deaths stat will tell the whole story for every state and country

It’s also funny that we’re flipping from suspicion of a conspiracy of overcounting to news articles about undercounting.

Fishy numbers."

Just want to confuse the people who pretend to be brown or black:-) Can you write another essay? Make sure to wear a mask while typing though.

That’s fine if you’re doing it for or just saying it to cover for how obviously dumb the original post is—still brings out the folks who actually believe the things you said! Besides, I write fast and these essays are mostly autocomplete.

Impossible because it wasn't until May, did Coumo and his people switch the categories in which they added "possible-related covid19 deaths" as a separate category.

If they can get NY to 50k and US to 200k by accounting for missing or suspicious deaths as Covid, it would make it easier to defeat Trump in the elections.

As an aside, George Floyd had Covid too:

Yea, and if the US ended up having an as good or even better response to this than the majority of other developed countries, then the administration could have been riding high into re-election. Playing stupid games means we won stupid prizes.
