I'll certainly tell all of the medical community around my home how pathetic a bunch of anonymous people who hide behind the wall of an internet bulletin board have said they are.Quote:

Yes, I believe the death toll is inflated by at least 25%.Quote:

I do not need to explain my professional opinion to you regarding the death rate, I am stating personal observations.
Assuming your opinion is correct, that puts the death toll around 187,000, which is more than the raw total was when you first started claiming the death toll was inflated.Quote:

I wasn't even talking to you with that, that was purely for dbroncsleftyQuote:

That last part was very likely me. I’ve made that point numerous times.Quote:

But what we DO know by statistics is that the number of deaths in the country from ALL causes has spiked this year, so in the big picture it doesn't much matter, those people are gone.Quote:

Ya know, there are things people THINK about other people's beliefs, but typically, unless they're deliberately INTENDING disrespect, they don't SAY those things to those people. So, while I haven't seen you say it for awhile now, I still occasionally allude to it simply to give you the opportunity to explain which it is. If you denigrate a group of people KNOWING a member of that group is actively in the conversation at the time, do you mean to disrespect that person? Or are you just to ignorant to understand the idiocy of your comments?Quote:

Obviously, sarcasm is lost on you. Unfortunate that you can't laugh at funny things. I find most of the posts here very humorous, as they come from an incredible lack of actual medical knowledge and are held out to be "expert" information.Quote:

In fact, it actually makes you look even worse than if these same sentiments were coming from a mechanic or something.
