Jeff Clark: Perspective on Stats


Note: This post is from my fellow Elder at CRBC, Jeff Clark, and is shared with his permission:

This is not an attempt to minimize the present Covid_19 emergency.

Numbers are rounded off.

The number cases Covid_19 cases (340, 000) 
Covid_19 Deaths (10,000)
Recoveries (18,000) 

Number of Abortion Cases this year in USA: 227,000
Number of deaths 227,000
Number of recoveries 0

Which one is the larger threat to human life?  Which one is preventable? Which one is caused by humans?  

If there is a political advantage to be gained? Who will benefit from both the abortion numbers,  the $2, 000,000,000,000 pork-laden spending bill, Covid_19 disruptions, deaths, and job losses?  

Just wondering?? Corrections welcomed.

    Hello Dr. Riddle,

    As of today 73,839 deaths worldwide are reported due to COVID-19.

    I don't downplay the virus as a virus (and I'm certainly of the persuasion that the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions should be protected, just like with any nasty virus or bug), but I do dissent the utterly disconnected response to contextual data.

    Yes, this year so far, and as of today:

    11,231,602 on-purpose deaths (murders) by abortion

    Additionally, this year so far, and as of today:

    3,430,022 deaths by communicable disease
    128,480 deaths by seasonal flu
    2,170,026 deaths by cancer
    259,171 deaths by malaria
    356,674 deaths by road traffic accidents

    (Source: https://www.worldometers.info/)

    It does us well to compare and contrast the data.

    Risk and life go hand in hand, as does responsibility. Shuttering the world is irresponsible, unjust, dramatically foolish, and incredibly risky.

    I think we are witnessing the results of a world that denies God on so many fronts. A seismic social shift has boiled over, and COVID-19 is the pot on the stove.

    Every death is a tragedy, a result of sin: "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sin" (Romans 5:12).

    Thanks be to the living and only Sovereign Lord God -- for grace in the midst of ruin! "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:1,2).

    Praise God from whom all blessings flow,

    Howie
