When it comes to hiding real figures then many countries are at blame, like India, Pakistan, Iran and most dictatorships, left or right.
Coronavirus
- Thread starter C.B. Brown
- Start date
Unfortunately those are only the reported #s. The real number is excess mortality, where they compare the total number of deaths against the typical # of deaths in a year. That's the true impact of COVID.
Back in May, they were estimating the true number of covid casualties in the world was 100% more than reported:
New Study Estimates More Than 900,000 People Have Died Of COVID-19 In U.S.
The total, estimated by researchers at the University of Washington, is 57% higher than the official death toll. Worldwide, they said, COVID-19 deaths are nearing 7 million, twice the official total.

Short term solution is mandatory masks and social distancing. Mid term solution is mandatory vaccines.....2 shots and later 3 shots.
Look at New Zealand for an idea of how dangerous the Delta variant is. In a country that is on total lockdown and had 0 cases 2 weeks ago ....then one case a week ago....to over a dozen now. Unfortunately their population is only 20% fully vaccinated so if they can`t control the present small outbreak, they`ll be in a critical situation in a month.

Compare that to Quebec`s 500 new cases. BTW those 500 cases are a 5 fold increase since July. Time to close all the borders again.
Alabama: les than 36% fully vaccinated, no available ICU beds in Alabama out of the 1,562 units in the state.

It's patheticAlabama: les than 36% fully vaccinated, no available ICU beds in Alabama out of the 1,562 units in the state.
Earlier this month Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene received applause from the audience during a Republican fundraiser in Alabama when she said the state is “one of the most unvaccinated states in the nation.”
And some here will blame the current administration for this...

This is not 2020. A good portion of the population are already fully vaccinated. Look at the UK - big spike in cases in May/June from Delta but no matching spike in deaths, unlike previously. Cases don't mean much in vaccinated populations since people now have the tools to fight the virus. We need to finish the job and get to 95% plus vaxx rate.

GULF SHORES, Ala. — The U.S. Gulf Coast is glowing like a bad sunburn on maps that show COVID-19 trouble spots in red.
Alabama's coastal counties lead the state in new cases, and some events have been canceled in Florida and Louisiana because of the latest surge.
Health officials believe the spike is due to a combination of some of the nation’s lowest vaccination rates, unabated tourism, a disregard for basic health precautions and the region’s carefree lifestyle.
