You don't speak for me, ****.  I'm personally enjoying this riveting discussion.  If there's one thing the world needs, it's more arguments about COVID.  

you would think we could agree that a virus that has conservatively killed 7M people worldwide over the past few years could be referred to as "very deadly", but I guess some people think differently.

might be even better if this forum had a covid thread to discuss this.

Clearly additional variants complicated things, as it changed the reproduction index and the death rate. 

Are you trying to treat every variant as a new virus?

At this point I'm not sure what you're arguing. Despite a lower death rate than other viruses, it had a relatively high transmission rate compared to those others mentioned which is why it was still deadly in nominal terms. 

So is it deadly (I agree) or very deadly?  There is still a lot of data to be reviewed until a full understanding of what worked and what didn't work is attained.   For the record, I have argued against the conspiracy theories regarding the vaccine.  It was absolutely necessary despite disagreeing over the mandate.  Took advantage of existing vaccine work for SARS, thus the speed of development. Lab leak is possible.   Bioengineered, no.

 

COVID is the unfortunate consequence of living on a planet where simple organisms can outevolve human immunity which has happened over history and will happen again.  When viewed in that context, I have a problem with the label "very deadly".

Or could it be that the omnicron variant appeared?

Omicron didn't emerge until late November or early December of 2021. Most of omicron deaths were in 2022. Calendars with another devastating haymaker to a trumpbot!

Look at that huge worldwide peak in January.  Data analysis is a fun thing.   Funny how the slope was relatively constant until omnicron.  And for the record the WHO statistics for 2021 don't end on 31 December.

 

Oh no!!!!  Wgb is wrong again!

Again, Omicron deaths were mostly in 2022. You are thoroughly incompetent. Bad at English, Math, reading a calendar, and Lord knows what else. Lets see how many more fails can you stack up in one day.

Actually if you look at the 5 million death st it incorporates most of the month of January where the spike is.  In the US, the delta spike was in decline in the fall and the spike due to omicron started in December. 

Was Covid a climate change disaster?

Yes, Delta was the deadlier variant and killed more people in 2021 than Omicron did that year because of how late Omciron emerged as I already stated. How any of this matters at all in your inane rambling argument is anyone's guess, but I'm more than amused to see you fumble around and continue to make a complete ass of yourself on the subject.

How many died with Covid, not because of it?

We do know that if you died with Covid you died because of it.

The point was the spike due to Omicron at the end of the year which in an increase to over 5% from the relatively stable 3.5% to 3.6%. With the total number of deaths per week doubling in the last month and a half.  Further with the drop in rate during the fall, you can see when a change happened.

Delta was a far bigger contributor to the 2021 death toll than Omicron was but it's irrelevant either way because Omicron is still covid, it's not a different virus. And again I'll ask whether HIV killed more people in 2004 than covid did in 2021 because you keep evading that for some odd reason...

You're barely intelligent enough to confuse yourselves.

How your families have escaped imprisonment for the level of inbreeding required to create you morons is beyond belief.

How many deaths were caused by Covid and not attributed to it?

Excess death numbers suggest it's a huge number. Bigly even.

Much less than those falsely attributed to Covid.

All those excess deaths globally must be from heartbroken trumpbots that just couldn't go on living in a world where he's not throwing plates of ketchup against the white house walls.
