“About 17% of study participants reported being infected with SARS-CoV-2 during the Omicron BA.4/BA.5 dominant period. This equates to 44 million cases, which is much higher than the 1.8 million cases estimated by the CDC during that period.” news-medical.net/news/20230227/…
Back in September, we learned an estimated 4%-5% of Covid cases are reported nationally. nbcnews.com/politics/covid… NBC: “The number of reported Covid cases is currently a qu
May 2022, & this was a median estimate. There’s no doubt the real numbers are much closer to this estimate. Even if we don’t officially record & report cases, people are still infected, disabled, & killed by Covid—but quietly, & behind the scenes. washingtonpost.com/health/2022/05…
By December 2022, when CNN published this article, only something like 15 states were reporting Covid data, and we pretended it’s not all Covid so it’s fine.

We also pretend this isn’t going to happen again in a month or two, and it’s really BIZARRE. cnn.com/2022/12/08/hea…
Thread, up and down. This isn’t going to magically change amid no public health measures.

Best of luck with this. 🥴

3300 Americans are expected to die of COVID this week. At the current wastewater levels, the US would be reporting 7M new cases per week if we had testing & data.

This is remarkably out-of-touch & “chronic absenteeism” will spiral out-of-control. UFT: No more ‘COVID days’ September 5, 2025 New York Teacher In a sign that the pandemic has drawn to a close, the city Department of Education’s special COVID-19 leave policy has ended. Over the DOE’s initial objections, the UFT was able to squeeze out one final year of COVID leave last school year after citing a provision in state law, which has since expired.
Since these changes are coming amid a very large Covid wave, it almost seems like they’re TRYING to drive teachers out.
As people continue to drop dead in public, governments & media all refer to the pandemic in past tense as they cheerfully take away all our protections and rights.

2022: US deaths increased 40%, when a 10% increase is a 3-sigma, 200 year catastrophe. We were 6 months into Pretend Normal.

2023: 34% more Americans ages 35-44 died than expected. Largest increase in pediatric mortality in over 50 years.

2024-2025: Why are Millennials dying?
Quote from this article: “We are seeing, right now, the highest death rates we have seen in the history of this business—not just at OneAmerica. The data is consistent across every player in that business.”
By 2023, they were lying.

“Among working people 35 to 44 years old, a stunning 34% more died than expected in the last quarter of 2022, with above-average rates in other working-age groups, too.” usatoday.com/story/opinion/…USA Today: “More young Americans are dying and it’s not Covid. Why aren’t we searching for answers? Without a thorough and collaborative exploration we can’t know what’s killing us or how to stop it” dr Pierre Kory and Mary Beth pfeiffer

It’s 2020. You almost die after acquiring a novel pathogen humans had no experience with. After “recovery” you’re permanently disabled & seeing 10 specialists in your 30s.

It’s 2025. Kids are disabled/dying in record numbers, but society blames individuals instead of the virus.
In 2022, we learned disability claims TRIPLED for UK teens in a single year, but the US had already quit testing & reporting Covid data.

We have NEVER counted the number of Americans who are disabled by COVID—on purpose. Collapse cometh. ifs.org.uk/publications/n…IFS.org.uk Report “The number of new disability benefit claimants has doubled in a year Robert Joyce Sam Ray-Chaudhuri Tom Waters Published on 7 December 2022 “The number of working-age people received PIP payments doubled between July 2021 and July 2022. This report investigates that increase.”
“The increase in claims has been seen across ages and conditions. Essentially all ages have seen their claim rate roughly double, although for teenagers it has tripled. Claims for most major conditions also increased by a similar amount. Around a third of the new claims are for mental or behavioural conditions, although among claimants under 25 that figure rises to 70%. The share of claims for mental illnesses, has – like other conditions – changed remarkably little during the rapid rise.”
The “pediatric piece” is still “pretty neglected” to this day, & I tend to believe that is deliberate.

These kids are going to grow up disabled & dying prematurely—robbed of their futures—all while the adults gaslight them & blame everything but the virus.

The UK is about to go through some things.

In December 2022, the UK announced disability claims had DOUBLED for all age groups & TRIPLED for teenagers over a ONE YEAR period.

In 2025, the UK decided under-22s will be excluded from incapacity benefits, & they’re still going.

Behold, The New Normal everyone begged for. This will ultimately collapse society, but we have been forced to ignore it all in order to maintain record profits.

The wealth held by U.S. billionaires has increased 90% since 2019.

RECORD disease, disability & death is LUCRATIVE.
An old post + 2024 facts

They sacrificed humanity at the altar of End Stage Capitalism knowing it would kill a ton of us, & they did it for record profits… wsws.org/en/articles/20… x.com/lauramiers/sta…Wealth concentration in the United States has reached grotesque levels, with a tiny elite controlling more wealth than the bottom half of the population. The wealth of US billionaires is now more than $5.5 trillion, up nearly 90 percent since the beginning of the pandemic. The extreme concentration of wealth is defended by both parties, and the election campaigns of Harris and Trump are fueled with unprecedented sums of money from the rich.
The U.S. reported the largest increase in pediatric mortality in over 50 years way back in 2023. The public never really heard about it. And we’re still culling the kids with a smile.

Chronic absenteeism is high nationwide (BECAUSE KIDS ARE VERY ILL) so this Tennessee school district will no longer excuse sick kids. Families are referred to juvenile court after 8 absences.

As everyone gets sicker & sicker, policies will become increasingly unhinged. Oklahoma voice: Tennessee school district will no longer excuse students with a doctor’s note BY: ANITA WADHWANI - JULY 30, 2025 11:01 AM
“After a student is absent for three days, school officials may begin an intervention. The policy doesn’t specify what type of intervention.”

Ominous. oklahomavoice.com/2025/07/30/law…Oklahoma voice: And if you’ve got the sniffles, that’s fine. You’re going to have them when you go to work one day. We’ve all gone to work sick and hurt and beat up. I think as a group and society we’re losing that reliability and that opportunity begins in the school house.” But parents in the district have expressed outrage over the new policy.
They’re going to ban phones and doctors’ notes and kids will still be chronically absent in record numbers because we won’t ban Covid.
