As I write this:
The U.S. Census Bureau (https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/MT) estimates the Montana to be 1,068,778 as of July 1st. Given the amount of out of state plates we’ve seen this year, we can reasonably predict that number is higher, but that is the number being worked with here.
The Montana State site for covid, as I write this, (https://montana.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=7c34f3412536439491adcc2103421d4b) states 656,021 tests have been done. That’s 61.38047% of the Montana State population tested for covid19.
Out of those 656,021 tests, the Montana site states 62198 were positive. That means 5.1890107% tested positive for this virus. Just over 5%.
The Montana site states 681 deaths from covid. So, from that just over 5% testing positive, that is a 98.90511% survival rate.
So… less than 6% of our state has tested positive for the covid19 virus, and of that less than 6%; that’s almost 99% survival rate. Almost a 99% survival rate!
Out of all the Montana tests conducted, the survival rate is 99.89619% (from just being tested).
The CDC lists (as I write this) 261,051 deaths from 13,295,605 cases. That’s a 97.99896 survival rate. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases_casesper100klast7days
Now… how many tests were actually false, but not corrected? How many people actually die of something else, but covid19 was listed as the cause (https://www.newsweek.com/florida-man-killed-crash-listed-covid-19-death-raising-doubts-over-health-data-1518994)? There are more!
How many people actually had something else, such as the flu (very similar conditions) but that was counted as covid19. Oddly enough, flu cases are down this year according to the CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm).
Why is the government paying the medical people more for a covid19 diagnosis?! Talk about misplaced incentive for false diagnosis! https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/healthcare/2020/08/04/qa-do-hospitals-get-paid-more-for-covid-19-patients/112873160/
Unless your mask is capable if filtering out the .1 micron-sized covid19 virus, your mask is USELESS; it will NOT stop the virus. You may as well use a window screen to filter giardia out of your creek water before you drink it; that’s how useless almost every mask worn is. Ironically, the cases are higher where masks are worn more; look at the numbers. Wearing a mask that doesn’t stop the covid19 virus actually increases your chance of getting this 99% survivable virus, as it catches the virus laden moisture droplets from other people and harbors/stores them directly in front of your mouth and nose, then your hands touch the virus that lives for up to three days.
If you’re really so scared of a +/- 99% survivable virus, you’re really going to lose it over the fact that your chance of committing suicide is higher, and getting higher yet because of all this mask-mongering fear. Domestic violence is up because of this, also.
Since so many of you are wrapped up over ‘needless deaths’, where’s your outcry about “More than 480,000 deaths annually (including deaths from secondhand smoke)” the CDC mentioned?! THAT’S something to be concerned about! https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/health_effects/tobacco_related_mortality/index.htm
Respond with your ‘social virtue’ cries all you want. That doesn’t change the facts and links I’ve presented here. A +/-99% survival rate, people. Stop being Chicken Little. The world is NOT ending. STOP allowing yourself to be manipulated for a control agenda.
