So, I have gone back on my word and am re-posting again in this thread but it wasn't my intention, I swear! I was looking to create a page in 'Suggest an Article for SOTT' and did not realize this thread was inside the sub-forum.
The main issue I have with the pandemic story being presented in the media and enforced on the planet's population is the data. The data is simplified. We never get the data about the data even though it's there. In some cases it's not easily accessible and you need to look for it. What we do get however are exaggerated statistics and biased reporting to evoke an emotional response in the audience it's being presented to, for example, it's always a tragedy when an overweight, diabetic with heart diseased person catches and dies from the coincidental virus that was not only a contributing factor but THE factor.... or when a 90-year-old who has done pretty well in exceeding their life expectancy passes away, and they also had a virus which was therefore the only reason for their death. While death is a part of life, these people are being used as numerical pawns which is bad enough, but when their deaths are politicized and abused as examples to introduce a draconian shift to society, that is a step too far.
As such, I thought about what's lacking right now - the opposite of the data that's being presented 24/7 relating to death counts and positive testing. My thought was to create a website displaying the flip-side of the reported data for each country - mostly to highlight the extreme ridiculous-ness of the relative numbers and provide some real perspective, simply based on the real data that's out there. My thinking was to display the reciprocal data, based on real-time available data regarding births, deaths, and current population. But in considering this I'm well aware that I'm a nobody. I also lack the knowledge required to program/replicate other websites but I am sure there are some folk here who are gifted in that skill set. Would a side page on SOTT be a reasonable place for that?
In my head a 'survivor count' page, updating the numbers who have so far survived the virus, based on countries and the global population too. Something simple. I could have a go at setting something like that up separately, but I wanted to convey the idea here first in case people thought it was useful and might like to set up a page inside an already established and well-visited site.
