It is very interesting to me that, in the beginning, like in March, April and possibly May, the media kept prominently featuring statistics about how many people had died of COVID, and how many were hospitalized, and how many hospitalized were in ICU. However, for weeks or even months now they have switched to telling us nothing but "cases", or the even more ridiculous statistic of percentage of those testing positive, as if that told us anything. Oddly, a "case" is anyone who tests positive, whether they are healthy or not, or whether they have a sneezy tingle in their nose, or at the door of death. Another magic thing about "cases" is that they never recover. Now getting COVID is like getting a sacramental character on your soul -- nothing can ever remove it, and it is there for ever and ever, world without end, Amen. No one is ever removed from the case statistics, as if people don't get better from it, ever.

Another interesting thing is that they have long since stopped giving us any information about age statistics of those who supposedly died of COVID. I remember for the first two weeks or so, at the beginning of March, Italy was releasing statistics of COVID fatalities broken down by age range. Once people starting noticing that practically everyone who died was in their 80s and 90s, that information was suddenly taken away. The United States learned from Italy's mistake, and has never released this kind of information that I have seen. They are worried that people will think that someone who dies of COVID at 95 is actually dying of old age, which they are, and every sane human being would choose to die of old age if he were given a choice how he will die.
