The media is heavily complicit in the firestorm of fear surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. They blast out the total numbers every night trying to get people too scared to leave their homes or they might suffer a life-ending encounter with the virus. Of course, the numbers they blast out are highly suspect. When the cause of death is monetized (as it is with Medicare and Medicaid patients), the one that pays the most is going to wind up on line one of the cause of death. The COVID-19 mortality rates are actually very similar to the flu.
