De-mystifying the Coronavirus Statistics. Read Carefully: The Risks Are Exceedingly Low!
Please
pay attention to the following statistical facts that contradict what is
being propagandized on every media outlet, including television, radio
and national, regional and local print media:
As just
one example, it must be noted that only 0.1% of the population of China
ever got COVID, despite well-propagandized media reports that
successfully made most of us think that the entire population of China
was at risk.
The assortment of statistics concerning the risks of actually getting COVID as of mid-April are far less that the 1 out of a 100 (as heralded by the media), which if true might even make me concerned. Hint: The risks are far, far less.
1] The
reported number of COVID infections (not all lab-confirmed!) in the US
(as of today) is 564,000 cases. The US has a population of 330,000,000
(330 million), which, when divided into the
564,000 calculates out (at
0.0017) which represents a miniscule percentage chance of getting infected with COVID (170 infections out of every 100,000 Americans).
2] The risk of
dying of COVID in the US (23,000 deaths so far, again an inflated
number, mainly because of the many false positive PCR tests and the
actual over-counting “guesswork” involved in filling out the death
certificates) is even more unlikely at 0.007% (23,000 divided by
330,000,000 equals 0.0000696, or 7 Americans dying from COVID out of every 100,000 Americans).
3] Most of
this miniscule risk of dying, it must be emphasized, is borne by the
frail, the chronically ill, the elderly, the malnourished, the
over-medicated, the over-vaccinated, and the terminally ill patients
that are vegetating, often bed-ridden, in nursing homes. etc.
4] An important, but rarely mentioned statistic is the number of presumed COVID-19 deaths per million population [9which
does not even prove COVID-19 infection] of any given nation. In the US,
that number, as of mid-April is 15 (per million), meaning that only 15
Americans out of every 1,000,000 have died of COVID. That means that
999,985 out of every million Americans HAVE NOT DIED from COVID.
5] To put the
US presumed COVID deaths per million into perspective, the number in the
Scandinavian countries is in the high teens or twenties per million.
Italy’s COVID deaths per million population is 218; Spain’s is 201;
Germany’s is 11; Canada’s is 3; Israel’s is 3; China’s is 2 Brazil’s is
1; etc, etc!!)
6] Another important number to understand is the number of all cause deaths that occur each day in any given country,
a number that has been averaged out over recent decades. As an example,
2,500 Germans die every day and 7,755 Americans die each day.
Naturally, the vast majority of deaths occur in the elderly population
that are mostly pre-terminally ill for one reason or another, including
what happens during every one of the viral influenza pandemics that
occur every year.
7] America’s All-cause Daily Death Number is 7,755 (= 2,830,690 deaths per year);
India’s Daily deaths amount to 26,670 deaths; Japan’s is 3,630; Italy’s
is 1,737; France’s is 1,647; Russia’s is 1,444; Canada’s is 780;
Brazil’s is 920; Australia’s is 447; Sweden’s is 250; Israel’s is 122;
etc, etc.
8] And, it is
important to realize that the locations of deaths in America occur 60%
of the time in a hospital, 20% in nursing homes and the other 20% occur
at locations outside of institutions, usually at home.
9] For
Minnesota (population 5,600,000), the risk of contracting COVID (total
Minnesota cases, as of mid-April = 1621 cases) is a miniscule 0.00289%
(1641 divided by 5,600,000 = 0.0000289). The vast majority of the cases
are in high density metropolitan areas that are in the southern half of
the state.
10] My Duluth
home is in St Louis County (population = 199,000). As of April 18, there
are 52 cases with 8 deaths, which yields an incidence of 0.000026 (or
0.026 % chance of getting a COVID infection; that is, 26 people are
infected out of every 100,000 county residents) and a death rate of
0.000042 (or a 0.004% chance of dying from COVID = 4 people dying out of
every 100,000 county residents).
11] The risk
of contracting COVID for those of us that live in the northern half of
Minnesota is even tinier. There were zero cases Up North until
mid-March, following which the numbers only gently trickled up from zero
by a handful of cases each day.
12] One must keep in mind that the CDC’s
Bureau of Statistics is strongly encouraging (actually ordering?) all
American physicians to list “COVID” as the cause of death on discharge
and death certificates of every patient that was either
test-positive or simply suspected of having COVID during the
hospitalization, illness or death at home or on the street. This is true
even if the patient was actually a terminally-ill, Do Not Resuscitate
(DNR) elderly patient who would be expected to succumb to their
pre-existent cardiac, pulmonary, renal, immunologic and/or hepatic
diseases that were therefore also being “treated” with large numbers of
potentially toxic prescription drugs.
13] Because of the significant incidence of faulty and unapproved PCR tests, it is important to be mindful that an unknown, but significant percentage of coronavirus test-positive cases are actually false positive cases
and therefore patients with common colds (or even no symptoms at all)
can easily be erroneously confirmed as COVID-19! There are also known to
be a certain percentage of cases of benign coronavirus illnesses,
including A] cases of the common cold that can be caused by a
coronavirus; B] cases of MERS or SARS-type coronavirus infections; or C]
asymptomatic carriers of one of the many other non-COVID-19 strains of
benign coronaviruses.
14] In
Iceland’s extensive screening system, there is a 50% false positive rate
in totally asymptomatic Icelanders that never developed any flu-like
illnesses. Were these folks just on the verge of getting a common cold,
carriers of a benign, non-COVID-19 coronavirus or was the test flawed?
15] So, I say
to those of us who are fortunate enough to live in non-metropolitan
areas like northern Minnesota, take a deep breath, take a walk, take a
drive, go to the grocery store, exhale when passing someone on your
un-masked walk, consider even giving a big hug to a fellow, un-infected,
hug-compliant friend that has quarantined him- or herself for the past
couple of weeks – and stop worrying so much.

Dr Kohls
is a retired rural family physician from Duluth, Minnesota who has
written a weekly column for the Reader Weekly, Duluth’s alternative
newsweekly magazine since his retirement in 2008. His column, titled Duty to Warn, is re-published around the world.
He practiced
holistic mental health care in Duluth for the last decade of his family
practice career prior to his retirement in 2008, primarily helping
psychiatric patients who had become addicted to their cocktails of
psychiatric drugs to safely go through the complex withdrawal process.
His Duty to Warn columns often deals with various unappreciated health
issues, including those caused by Big Pharma’s over-drugging, Big
Vaccine’s over-vaccinating, Big Medicine’s over-screening,
over-diagnosing and over-treating agendas and Big Food’s malnourishing
food industry. Those four entities can combine to even more adversely
affect the physical, mental, spiritual and economic health of the
recipients of the medical treatments and the eaters of the tasty and
ubiquitous “FrankenFoods” – particularly when they are consumed in
combinations, doses and potencies that have never been tested for safety
or long-term effectiveness.
