A recent academic paper asked the question: "How did a health crisis translate to an economic crisis?"
The reality, as pointed out after the CDC began posting the weekly death numbers from all causes -- plus ten target causes they track -- shows that COVID-19 has not changed a single number or thing. What did change was where the death was classified. The comorbidity which had been the primary number became secondary to the existence of COVID.
To add to the mess, we have a "VACCINE" that is not a vaccine -- it does NOT stop transference of COVID, and it does not prevent someone from catching it. It might have an effect -- causing weird blot clots that are inches long or disrupting the female menstrual cycle. And, because it was an "untested", DNA base, vaccine we have no idea what the long-term effects will be on the general population or future generations.
It is very possible that the global population would have been better off ignoring Covid -- treating it like a common cold and, as they do in Asian nations, having people simply wear masks.
For Christians, COVID should be something to cheer and give thanks for. That too sounds weird. But it was predicted that, in this century, the population of all living things would decrease by a third. Climate Change is reducing vegetation and sea life, and land animals are going extinct. A third of life will, over the next few decades, vanish.
Thus PROPHECY WILL BE FULFILLED...which should have Christians cheering -- clear proof of their accuracy and the divine origin that allowed the future to be predicted nearly two millennia ago.
Left alone, one percent of all people will die annually... Covid just speeds the process by a few months or, at most, a year. Here are the numbers for the COVID period:
As we can see from the population numbers -- the population is increasing even though COVID is attributed as claiming lives.
The current population of U.S. in 2022 is 338,289,857, a 0.38% increase from 2021.The population of U.S. in 2021 was 336,997,624, a 0.31% increase from 2020.The population of U.S. in 2020 was 335,942,003, a 0.49% increase from 2019.The population of U.S. in 2019 was 334,319,671, a 0.66% increase from 2018.
CONSIDER -- it is increasing during a BABY-BUST complicated by this "bad&nasty" pandemic. Granted, the increase in 2019 was more. But, in 2018, people were socializing more and that resulted in more 2019 babies. But reproduction peaked in 1959... and we are on a steady decrease where those born in 1959 are, by 2023, turning 64 -- so that boom, and those women born before 1980, are not likely to be reproducing.
Try this view -- it shows how we got to where we are and that COVID is insignificant:
What is the projected data for the rest of the century?
Seems
those creating this chart only see the population going up. POOR CHRISTIANS, their prophecy is worthless. This also means their Pro-Life crap is also worthless... HUMAN Life will continue regardless of their abortion stance. So when their prophecy says "a third of life" it means the death from Climate Change that will affect lower life forms.
How does the site say the USA compares to the population in other nations {Left-hand table}? OK -- their list has us pretty large ... so long as we ignore China and India ... and just focus on European-dominated locations.
How has our growth rate changed -- that's the right-hand table.
Seems the lowest rate since 1950 was in 2021 (when the government had everyone too scared to go out).
The highest growth rate was in 1958 -- after the soldiers came back from Korea, found wives, and settled in.
A decade later, in 1968, we hit a low that can be associated with Vietnam and the Hippy movement... and with a small bump, we hit another deeper low in 1976.
After another small bounce... we started the declining years that got us where we now are -- with a Baby-Bust that started in 2002 or 1992. The 1992 one would put the blame on REAGOMICS kicking in and then the first Bush Administration. Things tried to stabilize under Obama and Trump, but BIDEN killed it.
GEE for all the global nonsense about the Pandemic and its mutations, the rest of the world is growing faster than we are and will be better situated for a World war in 2033/34 -- if Christians still want to promote their nonsense beliefs and hold to REVELATION being a human-based, rather that Garden of Eden (animals) based prediction...
BUT... The Pandemic Economy... it's only serving to decrease the American growth rate -- which explains the need for Open Borders {and the Pro-Life insistence that women have babies, even if it can kill them} to supplement the loss.
How's all this tie into the economy?
As the paper says: "First, the spread of the virus encouraged social distancing which led to the shutdown of financial markets, corporate offices, businesses and events. Second, the exponential rate at which the virus was spreading, and the heightened uncertainty about how bad the situation could get, led to flight to safety in consumption and investment among consumers, investors and international trade partners." Gee, if you can't GOP to work, or socialize, it's unlikely you'll reproduce -- you're not meeting those who could partner in the process.
How bad is Covid? According to the paper: World cases 464,655,799 / total deaths 6,082,998 / recovered 396,971,917
SO! Out of 8 BILLION PEOPLE, about 5% got the disease and of them, only about 1% died (ONE PERCENT of FIVE PERCENT). Hum -- you're more likely to die of a stroke or ischemic heart disease (a silly way of saying "serious" heart disease).
But you'll notice, for all the time and money spent on Covid, NOBODY gives a damned about giving you free, examinations, medication, or treatment for heart disease.
Comically, if you have heart disease and Covid they will blame Covid ... so they do not need to deal with the heart problems caused by smoking, dirty air (like from automobile exhausts or other burning fossil fuels), or simply a lack of proper exercise.
YEP... screw the economy, screw population reproduction, and play to the pandemic that is NOT a pandemic... so you can inject people with an untested mtDNA-based "vaccine" that doesn't meet even the lowest standard to be called a vaccine.
