It turns out that in Larimer county things are not quite what your mobile phone warbling tones from Emporer Polis would have you believe.
For instance, if you are pre-retirement your risk of death from C19 looks like the red on this chart:
I’ll wait while you zoom and try to find it. Don’t worry, it took even some very smart people longer than expected.
What people don’t dwell on — so they rightly don’t go insane in everyday life (everyday life seems like a distant memory now doesn’t it?) — is that the everyday background risk of death pre- the appearance of C19 was not trivial. But it was also correctly largely ignored other than the obvious occasional considerations of avoiding the risk of doing monumentally stupid things on top of it.
Were you terrified last year of a 0.25% risk of death? If you were exhibiting symptoms of that then your friends and family would have rightly suggested you check yourself in with a shrink.
But now that that risk has “ballooned” to 0.2522% — a less than 1% increase! — you are hiding in your basement terrified.
Your friends were right last year of course but sadly they’ve all been psyop’ed into similarly quivering jelly piles now also, haven’t they?

And what of those retired folks that are about to die any second now? Their risk looks like this:
Well, they properly should have been concerned about death already! That’s hardly a shocker now is it?
But is adding an incremental 3% risk — moving up from a 4.55% risk of yearly death to 4.70% — a clear and present justification for destroying civilization as we have known it?
I’m quite confident I know who the crazy ones are…
And yes, this can also be analyzed with finer granularity to reveal an exponentially rising risk of death with age — ALSO just as with normal life’s pre-existing risks. In fact, if you read the charts you will notice that nobody in the county younger than 46 had died which is actually a much lower risk of death than “normal life” for the young! And the median age of death here from C19 is 84 which is strikingly high. Here’s what that curve looks like:
And did I forget to mention that roughly half of our local C19 deaths are in care homes/ hospices? Which is also not surprising since the average life expectancy of someone admitted to such a residence was about 6 months pre- clown world?
I’ll quit now so you can read the yellow text box yourself…
