got a feeling in 10-20 years or so world governments will start to admit excess covid deaths.

india might have the most egregious number of covid deaths.

Admit EXCESS deaths? Or admit underreported deaths?

More people died in a couple years from covid than all the wars and natural disasters put together in since the turn of the 20th century.
Republicans can't manage shyt..they actually denied the existence of covid initially.

They've chosen to live in a different reality than the rest of us. Part of it is the right wing propaganda machine which essentially tells them everything they hear is a lie. The other part of it is them just not being able to handle how bad things are because it would require them to admit they've been wrong about a ton of shyt over the course of their life.

They're dead fam, it would help if this dogshyt country would accurately report COVID deaths instead of trying to cover their ass because they did a fukking horrific job of handling this shyt. The media didn't help anything either. Just wait till something worse than COVID comes along, we're gonna see any actual fukking culling in this country.

Yep. It's obvious that more than 1.1 million ppl died. Folks seem to forget that republican states admitted they were tweaking the death numbers at the height of covid. And those were the states where ppl refused to mask up or take precautions. It's probably 2 million or higher that actually died.

meanwhile, you're lying that covid deaths caused millions of US workers to stop working, when simply looking at the covid death percentages by age negates that

but this thread is about workers, who retire at 65

Haven't we been reporting excesss deaths for quite some time now? I know a lot of people with long Covid too and they're barely able to work consistently.

The stats are wrong due to republican states who ADMITTED they were changing the numbers and not accurately reporting COVID deaths. You're using incorrect data to make your argument.

Wait until Climate Change becomes a national emergency because its too hard to continue denying. Republicans are going to further delude themselves with all types of wacky conspiracy theories to deflect from the fact that their policies made the problem much worse than what it had to be.

whatever your opinion or speculation, 8 percent of covid deaths were under age 50. to say that covid is responsible for workers stopping working just isnt true

and frankly, theres as much evidence that stat changing went the other way too

It's what he does, it's why I don't waste time even reading his posts anymore.

Moved out the country, remote work, formed start ups with their ex co-workers, doing work that makes happy, etc

Thing is underreporting of excess deaths has been found to be a global issue. This isn't just a uniquely American issue.
