If you weren't already aware, the target group in all populations that are most easily affected by whatever COVID-19 is, are the elderly. And where are there a lot of elderly? In nursing homes.

Just for a little review, looking at the nursing home fiasco regarding the "protection" and "safety" that the lockdown was supposed to bring, 1/3 of all alleged "COVID-19 deaths" in the US come from nursing homes.
In New York, where Governor Cuomo decided to force nursing homes that care for the elderly to accept COVID-19 patients. Forced them. The result? Thousands of nursing home elderly dead. Way to go genius.
Then weeks later he admitted he was wrong. He said the nursing homes didn't have to obey it, they could have challenged it. What a piece of shit. He's telling people that when he gives orders, you don't need to obey, after the fact. That they are just "suggestions". But when he makes them, he expects you to obey and that they aren't "suggestions".
The US isn't the only one screwing it up. The same happened in Italy. And in Canada, the chief public health officer Theresa Tam said that about half of the counties alleged "COVID-19 deaths" (like when you die of dehydration) are from nursing homes. And she said this back on April 13th.
Surely, with such knowledge, they would have refocused their time, money, resources and efforts to protect them more than focus on everyone else in the country? Nope.
On May 7th, Tam gave an update, and now the nursing homes deaths represent a whopping 82% of the total alleged "COVID-19 deaths". While countries are locking down the whole population, they are preventing herd immunity from developing where 99.97% of people in the non-elderly population will survive the infection.
People going into nursing homes are going there because they are reaching the end of their lives and need help to care for themselves. That's the purpose. These elderly don't have much time left. Many of them die each year.
I wanted to know how many of them survive in any normal year, to see how that related to alleged attributed "CVOID-19 deaths" in nursing homes.
In a 2018 study, it was determined that the median survival time for the elderly to stay alive was 2.2 years. Each year, 31.8 % of the occupants in nursing homes die. That's nearly a third of nursing homes patients dying each year.
Median survival in NH was 2.2 years (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.9–2.4). Yearly mortality rate throughout the three-year observation period was 31.8%. Mortality was associated with higher age and comorbidity at BL, and more severe dementia, higher ADL-dependency, less severe psychotic symptoms, and a lower BMI throughout the study period.
How many elderly actually died from COVID-19? I don't think it's what we're told. GIven that 1/3 of them die each year anyways, subtract that from the other deaths attributed to COVID-19.
As with all the death counts in most countries, no autopsies are done, and everyone dying with COVID-19, or assumed to have it, or has symptoms that can be just the common coronavirus cold or a flu, are added to the total death count. Even people who die of neglect from nursing home care where they die of dehydration, are counted as COVID-19 deaths. It's a nice convenient way of whitewashing neglect and incompetence. It even happens in hospitals.
I heard somewhere that deaths in nursing homes are still within the usual levels. I don't know the source, though, so can't vouch for its accuracy.
the sources in this article prove just this fact! Ugh, can you believe it? This is nuts.
Seems so obvious when you think about it.
Sadly, it is not common to think in the moment. Only in hindsight.
Yeah I don't know what the ratio of deaths in NH during the "crisis" is. It would be interesting to compare.
The crisis' was not so much the virus as the for profit corporations running many of the world's old age homes. In my Provence as of about a month ago 45 of the 51 deaths attributed to covid-19 were from one old age home in our capital run by a corporations and subsidised by the government. This home had been the jewel in the crown of retirement homes when built in the '70s and run by the government. Since being taken over by a corporation those dwelling there are now 2 or 3 to a room designed for one occupant and reports have revealed that covid sick occupants were left in rooms with those not yet infected.
Profit seeking in health care was the crisis!
Yeah its a sham when greed takes over.
For real...? 🤦
That is my main concern with all this lockdown train. We're probably going to be worse on the long run because of this. 🤔
Are you in the US? I was talking to my sister in the UK and from what she describes, it seems to me like Covid was already well and truly doing the rounds before they locked down. In my sister's office alone, she said 30 people were off sick and isolating before they officially forced isolation. So it wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't much of a change in cases if they just lifted lockdown anyway, because most have already had it. It's been 6 months now since the start of the outbreak there, which is pretty much the run period for any flu virus in one country.
No, I am in Portugal and I feel the same way. In my company, while the virus was only being talked about in China, about half of us were sick. I never saw so many people coughing in the corridors at the same time.
Then one of the guys in our office got sick. The following day, all 5 of us were sick and our boss as well.
We all got feverish and 5 days later we were all back to normal. Except our boss who stayed ill for 2 months.
I suspect that was the coronavirus.
Wow! Just imagine this was the news that spread instead of the death scare paranoia! Thanks for sharing your 1st hand experience :)
Yes, worse off in the long run FOR SURE! I mean also consider the fact that we shut down an entire economy for this. I am just saying -- the us dollar is going to crash. I am living here in the US stunned that this is happening. We are becoming a nation full of sheep that do not think for themselves --- only what CNN or FOX says.
It's been said by many experts who look at socio economic factors and trends. Increased unemployment, poverty, domestic abuse, child abuse, sexual abuse, suicides... the effects aren't fully materialized yet.
I'm curious what numbers are for Japan given they are more caring for their elderly. The elderly are shipped off to a box somewhere to waste away until they die in the US and other countries. In Japan they have a bit better respect for their elders and take care of them in house more often.
This whole thing is a pile of dog shit that needs to be thrown in a hole and buried. I love to see more and more people waking up to the lie that this pandemic has been. We shut down the world to protect the frail and already susceptible with numerous co-morbidities.
Yeah it's madness. And we're all supposed to just accept it. Japan has done well with basically no lockdown.
sad reality
COVID-19 is an excuse for politicians and powerful corporations to destroy the economy so that ordinary people become more dependent on the government than ever since they can now play hero by handing out financial aid packages. It is also a tool to whitewash ignorant people into hating Asians. Before the pandemic got blown out of proportions, there were Asian students on their respective country's scholarships getting intimidated by White locals. Basically, these White locals were so afraid of losing their jobs that they drove their cars passed these students then stopped at the curb before shouting at them to return to their home countries. These locals were unaware that those Asian students had to return home to serve eventually since they were bonded by scholarships. Probably some family members of dead elderly in nursing homes benefited from possible inheritance causing repercussions due to COVID-19 even more complicated to fathom.
