    We can prove that there have been more excess deaths than can be accounted for by the confirmed covid-19 fatalities.

    We also know that false positives are outweighed by false negatives.
    Do you have a source for any of these claims?

          No proof of any point you made to me. I do consider diagnoses of fatalities a problem, because of multiple testin in hospital sttings. It is public testing in screening that has problems.

          There are a number of sites that provide graphs comparing the average rate of fatalities in years without COVID-19 to this year with COVID-19. In fact based on the evidence the rate of fatalities is under counted in many countries especially China, Brazil and Russia. The USA remains #1 in all categories of fatalities and cases regardless. There is alos good evidence that the fatalities in the early history of the pandemic in the USA were undercounted, not diliberately, but to other factors a lack of awareness of the virus, wrong diagnosis due to the lack of testing.

                If I pointed out to you the possibility covid fatalities are being under-reported in a lot of countries, how would that make me a pandemic denier?

                    You are not clear on accepting the fatality rate of the USA. Question: What did you supposedly prove?

                      No, bro. I said why gloat about how high US fatalities are compared to other countries when it's not a certainty that those countries are not under-reporting their fatalities? Capeech?

                        So what, nearly half of all americans, probably more, have pre-existing conditions.

                            No Capeech! What did you supposedly prove?

                            It is a fact that the USA rate of fatalites are the highest in the world, likely by terrible management by the Trump adminiatration early in the pandemic, and ridiculing and minimizing its severity, but countries that do not manage the pandemic like Indai, Brazil and Russia may catch up.
