Ok, let's back up a step because someone here needs to do a few deep knee bends...
My point has been that you can do the math yourself - but you know that the numbers are not accurate. Which coincidentally is the reason why the press isn't reporting it. Therefore it is nothing more than "faux outrage" to complain that the number isn't being reported!
As I said, they don't report the number of people who survive a heart attack or who don't die in an auto accident - because we know that the numbers won't be accurate or even mean anything. And today, COVID-19 is exactly the same where the "survivor" numbers are just as inaccurate and just as meaningless - and coincidentally also not worth reporting.
When someone here comes out and says "but they aren't reporting the numbers of survivors" and I point out that that number is meaningless and therefore not news, please don't make my point for me then blame/shame me for agreeing with you.
Ahh, but there is a big difference you seem to be overlooking.
They don't crash our economy, trash our rights, and put 20 million people out of work when there's a spike in heart attack deaths. Or flu deaths. Or auto fatalities - or deaths of any other kind. Those things and the stats about them also aren't covered as the ONLY news story for weeks on end either.
If they are going to present the information over and over 24/7 for weeks on end, then at least we are entitled to a complete and
balanced presentation of ALL of the available info. Not just a one-sided slant on everything that paints the worst, scariest, possible picture they can possibly conjure up. The negative numbers they are reporting aren't accurate either. They are inflated, just by the nature of what is being reported as a "COVID-19" death. We know for a fact that over 98% of people who are confirmed infected survive. But they put ZERO emphasis on that. They just keep on screaming about the NUMBER of dead.
But even in times of worldwide crisis they can't seem to be fair, balanced, or honest about presenting the info. They have to KEEP sensationalizing and jockeying for maximum ratings, no matter how much damage it does. This is the type of situation where we all need to rally together, but they keep working at dividing us.
Just watch one of the President's daily coronavirus briefings to see what I'm talking about. Pick up any newspaper or watch any broadcast or log onto any major media website and try to find the "other side" of the story. You can't. In times like these you SHOULD BE ABLE TO. But the positive spin is nowhere to be found. Ever.
What you call "faux outrage" is actually
genuine disgust.
