Tennessee GOP Lawmaker Reverses Stance on COVID After 8-Month Hospitalization: 'Pure Agony'
Glenn Garner
Rep. David Byrd has adapted a new stance on the COVID-19 pandemic, after he was hospitalized with the coronavirus for eight months.
The Tennessee Republican, 63, said in a statement on Friday that he was diagnosed with COVID the day before Thanksgiving and admitted to a hospital on December 5, according to Nashville's News Channel 5. He subsequently spent 55 days on a ventilator.
"Like most who contract the disease, I had no major underlying health conditions," Byrd said. "Up until this point in my life, I've been pretty healthy and active. Foolishly, I believed this virus only seriously affected people who are at high risk."
He was transported via helicopter to a hospital in Nashville back in December, where he was treated for COVID pneumonia, according to The Tennessean. Byrd previously attended a House Republican Caucus retreat days before he was diagnosed, and he was later seen without a face mask on the House floor.
"It is a disease that wants to kill us. Please take it seriously," Rep. David Byrd said in a statement, after he was hospitalized with COVID for eight months and spent 55 days on a ventilator.
"Covid took over my lungs with lightning speed. I developed pneumonia, I got sicker and sicker, and more and more anxious," he added in his statement. "Every breath was pure agony."
Byrd went on to detail his harrowing ordeal, as well as the impact it had on his family. As his condition progressed, he developed jaundice and was diagnosed with COVID Cholangiopathy. "I was told I would need a liver transplant or else I would die," Byrd wrote, noting he received a transplant on June 12. "Again, my family prepared for the worst."
The lawmaker added that the experience "brought much clarity" after he was one of the Tennessee Republicans who voted for House Resolution 340 last June, which congratulated the state's citizens "for clearly seeing that the mainstream media has sensationalized the reporting on COVID-19 in the service of political agendas."
"I hope that by sharing my experience it helps others to act against an enemy that knows no skin color, economic status or political affiliation," Byrd said Friday.
"I have never been against taking the Covid-19 vaccine, but I understand the concerns of those who are hesitant. To them, I would say Covid is real and it is very dangerous. It is a disease that wants to kill us. Please take it seriously. Please consider getting vaccinated. This is an issue that should not divide us." -

Totally true. If the idiots would even take a single minute out of their mindless blabbering, they would see for themselves there was no noticeable death increase in 2020. What they do instead is pretend the data doesn't exist and try to delete and discredit and harass those who do their research properly. These mindless idiots are the greatest danger and threat society faces today. -

Republican Arizona official says GOP legislator admitted there was 'nothing to' election fraud allegations
Tim O'Donnell
Karen Fann, the Arizona state Senate president and a Republican, has supported the state legislature's "forensic audit" of the 2020 presidential vote in Maricopa County, which was won by President Biden. Fann said earlier this month that the audit is "not about" former President Donald Trump, who continues to claim widespread voter fraud — especially in states like Arizona and Georgia — cost him the election. "This is not about overturning the election," Fann added. "This has never been about anything other than election integrity."
But a Republican member of the Maricopa Board of Supervisers named Bill Gates (no not that Bill Gates) told The New Yorker's Jane Mayer that Fann had previously confided in him that she knew there was "nothing to" the fraud allegations. Mayer writes that Fann then ultimately "buckled under the political pressure and authorized a subpoena of the county's ballots." Fann did not respond to Mayer's request comment. -

I tried to make a graph of number of deaths per year for adults using Google Public Data Explorer but it won't allow me. Am I doing something stupid? It will show me anything else, like number of maternal deaths for instance.

Chart comparing 2020 US death toll with previous years is flawed, uses incomplete data
A chart that compares annual U.S. death tolls using CDC data is incomplete. It doesn’t accurately represent the number of deaths in the country in 2020.
The health agency has reported that an estimated 198,081 excess deaths between late January and early October 2020 in the U.S. are attributable to the virus.
Posts on social media are attempting to downplay the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic using a chart that shows that the 2020 U.S. death toll hasn’t changed much from previous years.
The chart, titled "US deaths per year," displays figures comparing deaths in the country for the last five years, ranging from just over 2.7 million in 2015 to 2.9 million in 2019. It says the toll for 2020, as of Nov. 16, is "2,487,350." Some versions also include a whole-year projection of 2,818,527.
"People died before Covid. Amazingly the death rate hasn’t changed. How can that be with such a deadly virus????" one user wrote.
But the comparison is flawed for a few reasons. The 2020 statistics cited are not the final figures, and the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention has estimated that hundreds of thousands of excess American deaths are attributed to the virus this year. Lastly, it ignores that COVID-19 has killed over 290,000 Americans to-date, the highest virus death toll in the world.
The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)
The numbers listed from 2015 through 2018 are legitimate and come from the CDC. The health agency reported 2,712,630 deaths in the U.S. in 2015, 2,744,248 in 2016, 2,813,503 in 2017, and 2,839,205 in 2018.
While the final numbers for 2019 have not been released, the CDC’s provisional count for the year — 2,855,000 — comes close to the chart’s 2,900,689 figure, though it’s not clear how they reached the number.
The chart’s 2,487,350 figure leading up to the week of Nov. 16, 2020, reflects CDC data, but it’s not a complete depiction of how many Americans died in 2020.
Not only does the figure not account for the final six weeks of the year, it doesn’t represent the first few weeks, either. The weekly provisional deaths table doesn’t begin until the week ending Feb. 1, 2020. What’s more, these numbers are continuously updated due to reporting lags, which the CDC says can range from one week to eight weeks or more, depending on the jurisdiction and cause of death.
The provisional tally for the year, as of Dec. 11, has already gone up to 2,728,104.
Meanwhile, in another report, the CDC estimated that COVID-19 has caused almost 200,000 excess deaths in the U.S. from late January through early October. Excess deaths are defined in the report as the number of persons who have died from all causes, in excess of the expected number of deaths for a given place and time.
"Overall, an estimated 299,028 excess deaths occurred from late January through October 3, 2020, with 198,081 (66%) excess deaths attributed to COVID-19," the agency reported.
Lauren Rossen, a data scientist with CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, told PolitiFact that the numbers of deaths in 2020 are "without a question NOT on par with previous years" and that claims that the numbers are equivalent are based on misinterpretations and misuse of the available data.
Since we don’t have all the data for 2020, Rossen said a more accurate analysis would need to involve comparing the number of deaths that occurred in the first 44 weeks, or so, of the year with the number of deaths that occurred over those same weeks in previous years.
"Looking at the number of deaths each year through week 44 (the most recent weeks are incomplete in 2020 due to the length of time it takes to receive and tabulate death certificates), we can see the totals over the same time periods each year. There have been nearly 317,000 more deaths in 2020 than in the same time period of 2019," Rossen said.
Our ruling
A chart circulating online claims to demonstrate that the annual U.S. death toll has not changed significantly in 2020 amid COVID-19.
This is wrong and ignores that the virus has killed more than 290,000 Americans to-date, the most in any country in the world.
The data used for 2019 is not final and the figures presented for 2020 are incomplete. Other CDC data also refutes the claim’s premise, with an estimation of hundreds of thousands of excess American deaths attributed to the virus this year.

False.
Read that debunking again, carefully. It makes no sense. And did they even show you the graph? Of course they didn't.
They even admit the graph is correct for fucks sake. But it doesn't matter. Reasons.
They treat you like an idiot.
