What are your thoughts on the cdc numbers saying that the death rate didn't increase?

And that the flu and pneumonia numbers went down last year in 2020 because the flu is now covid

    Wearing masks and social distancing decreased the incidence of flu.  And no, covid isn't "the flu".  I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you are very rarely sought out for your keen insight and wisdom.

    2020 deaths were 22% higher than the expected number.  Your lie is transparent or you have real problems understanding data. Yes flu deaths were negilible.  The same mitigation measures used for Covid-19 spread work even better for influenza. 

    Take a look at the graph as well. since it shows the time progression of excess deaths.   https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_...

    Firstly, I'm not going to lower myself to your level trying to debate your ridiculous opinions. Life expectancy in the US has ticked up every yr. since 1950-2020 w/ one exception (2017). These are facts I believe. The data behind it is too complicated for you and too much for me to begin expressing to you because you already made up your mind.

    I think it is a way for control us.

    We still can not figure if mask work or not.

    Still the doctors that go against the cdc they are ban from practicing medicine and having their license pulled.

    Amazing that flu numbers went down when they are money for covid
