The charity I picked was St. Jude’s. Good for them but I’m sorry to win this contest. Been a tough couple of years for everyone. I remember when this contest was posted and I was having breakfast at a cafe in Thailand with Viejo and another friend Mike. I had watched a documentary about the pandemic 100 years ago and how it spread. And back then some cities were more strict or not about masking. And how the second wave was much worse than the first because people let their guard down.
Anyway when I made my prediction Mike said I was crazy. I asked his guess. He said at most 500 people would die. That it was no big deal. Incredibly there are still people who think that way.

The Spanish flu was a much more lethal virus, it was a hemoraghic flu, people would die within 24 hr of getting it. This was a book cooking, money grabbing, man made power controlled BIO weapon made by the new world order. The lockdowns and Vaccines were far more lethal than the virusThis is bullshit. The huge second wave was due to a more virulent and transmissible mutation in the Spanish flu virus (sound familiar?). Of course, they didn't know about viruses at the time and wasted millions of dollars trying to find the bacteria responsible. Fortunately, they saved samples so that when the electron microscope was invented 10 years later, they could characterize the virus.

Only one possible position change left. Puckhandler will take 3rd when deaths exceed 1,040,000. Unfortunately, that is likely in 4 to 5 months.
Donation of $200 will be made to St. Jude this coming week.
OldSandbagger, in whose name shall I make it?
DM if you prefer to keep that private.
per worldometers we are currently at 925K. who knows what the true number is (higher or lower)
World O Meters - Covid USA numbers
I am still waiting to hear from Sandbagger.Donation of $200 will be made to St. Jude this coming week.

I like Bob' s estimation of cases 4 months from now but at this rate I think we could see 60k more deaths a lot sooner. Unless one category supercedes the other in rank for the contest, I hope it's not the case.

If I don't hear from him in another week I'll make the donation in the name of EOG.

It's now well known that about 50% of people hospitalized "with covid" are not there because of covid - so that means they are sick or injured people who are seriously ill, So all of them who die are now recorded as covid deaths, all the heart attacks, strokes, aneurysms, gun shots, etc who dont make it are added to the totals.to say that one believes the deaths are overstated or even understated, for that matter, is one thing - but to call them fake? that is shortsighted.
this doesn't become real for *some* people until their mommy or daddy or granny or grandpa kick the bucket because of it, then it becomes real and the pendulum usually swings all the way to the other side, meaning they totally freak out and start wearing 12 masks wherever they go and dousing themselves in Purell.
or a hoaxer type dies and you cannot even say "i told you so" because the dumb phukker is DEAD !! LOLOL

That is why they are fake.
I'm not talking about the total death toll during the pandemic, I'm talking about the numbers that are being put out now - the 2000/day. Total hospitalizations nationwide for all causes are maybe 800,000 - right now there are about 90,000 people listed at "with covid" perhaps 40,000 of that 90,000 are just random people who went to the hospital for all kinds of things and then were found to have covid(they test everyone who comms in), so if they die it's listed as a covid death - even though it's not.okay so let's use your theory that the number is 50% that means that instead of 950K deaths the last 23 mos, it's actually 475K the last 23 mos. just for argument's sake. still pretty bad right?
and let's not forget that tens of thousands of people died between 1/1/2020 and 4/30/2021 when we knew very little about Covid and tests were only available in hospital settings. that is 4 mos early on in the pandemic after China unleashed the bioweapon on the world, when we had no idea what was going on and how to tame it.
there were people in NY state found dead in their homes for days and i am pretty sure 90% of those were sent to their graves with Covid as the final nail in their coffins.
like Jimmy's and Puckhandler's answer from page 1Page 1 of this thread is interesting.
Very interesting.
There's never going to be a final number.
14 million cases, 1.2 million deaths
Too many Americans not taking Corona serious. Spanish Flu killed 650000 Americans
with zero book cooking and zero co morbidity, people that died of covid is 100X less than spanish fluYep, Spanish flu was much worse per capita equivalent is almost 2M today.

Great. Will get it out this week.In my name, John Kendall. Thanks guys! Been busy.

Considering the original strain of covid had a 99.7% survaval rate, and that the current omicron is maybe 99.9%, none of us are taking much of a chance. if you're fat or 80 -90 years old yea it's a concern, for the rest of society not at all.then i say to hell w/ the vaccines errrrrrr shots and to hell with washing my hands and wearing a mask.
let's go take our chances against the Chinese bioweapon and tell that mutha-effin virus who's boss !!!
No need for any more updates, the numbers dont mean anything anymore since most tests are now at home and are never reported if positive, likewise the death numbers are meaningless as since it doesn't factor in incidentals.Update:
Oldsandbagger has had the lead for 82 days, the only change (between #3 and #4) will be at 1,040,000 deaths, months away, perhaps August:
