Mongering&#8221; Will Persist or Dementia Has Destroyed Joe Biden&#8217;s Ability to do Simple Math<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve not written much on the disgusting and wholly fallacious fear-mongering of the Democrats\/media in general and the Biden campaign in particular.<\/p>\n<p>From nearly the very beginning \u2014 having been \u201ctrapped\u201d for the first couple weeks away from my family and with nothing but time on my hands to read and learn \u2014 I\u2019ve long known that the number of \u201cdeaths\u201d CAUSED by COVID-19 would be wildly exaggerated in that once there was a financial incentive to \u201cID\u201d COVID-19 deaths every other categorized \u201ccause of death\u201d would dramatically decline while COVID-19 \u201ccaused\u201d deaths would skyrocket, as that would promote the narrative in the press\/campaign that the Trump Administration was incompetent.\u00a0 It was simply a given, and the claims would be impervious to actual facts \u2014 like tens of thousands of people, mostly elderly, die each year from all types of other viruses because their bodies are not able to fight off the infection.\u00a0 People who might have died mere weeks faster while suffering from \u201cend-stage\u201d cancer are being classified as COVID-caused deaths if they were infected prior to passing.\u00a0 Morbidly obese individuals who were walking and talking strokes and heart attacks waiting to happen become COVID-caused deaths because they become infected with a virus that has a 99% recovery rate.<\/p>\n<p>And now we are in the middle of a \u201csecond surge\u201d that is being blamed on government policies, guidance, and\/or unwillingness of people to follow the same when the truth of the matter is that back in March and April infectious disease efforts predicted the virus would begin to spread more rapidly AGAIN in Oct-Nov. when cool weather returned, people went indoors more, and the \u201ccold and virus\u201d season got underway.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a virus.\u00a0 This time of year is called the \u201ccold and virus\u201d season for reason.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>But what is really happening is simply the table being set for a coming (maybe) Biden Administration triumph over COVID-19 \u2014 after a year of failure by the Trump Administration \u2014 when we have the return of warm weather in the spring and the increased availability of one or more vaccines becomes available.<\/p>\n<p>But, there are still several more weeks of the Trump Administration to suppress, so the \u201cfear-mongering\u201d must persist for now.<\/p>\n<p>Enter Joe Biden earlier today when, during an economic \u201cround table\u201d discussion via video conference, he said \u201cI don\u2019t want to scare anybody here but understand the facts: we\u2019re likely to lose another 250,000 people, dead, between now and January, because people aren\u2019t paying attention,\u201d Biden said during an economic round table on coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\"
