Boston University Initiative on Cities
United States
Приєднався 24 чер 2016
The Boston University Initiative on Cities (IOC) was created in 2014 as a university-wide hub for urban research, learning, and practice. The Initiative catalyzes research in, on, and with cities, hosts critical conversations, and creates experiential, place-based learning opportunities for students. We marshal the talents and resources of wide-ranging disciplines across Boston University, lead ground-breaking research on mayoral leadership, and forge ties to cities locally, nationally, and globally in pursuit of sustainable, just, and inclusive urban transformation.

Between 2/24/21 and 12/9/20 CDC logged 1,038,084 deaths from ALL causes, 3,163 per million. During the same period CDC logged 217,382 deaths involving C-19, 662 per million. 65-74 accounted for 21.8% at 3,286 per million. 75-84 accounted for 28.9% at 8,363 per million. 85+ accounted for 31.8% at 22,914 per million. 30% of C-19 deaths are among those 85+, 2% of the population. 32.4% of C-19 deaths occurred in nursing homes, hospice or residence. To date 388,352, 81.1%, of ALL C-19 deaths are among those 65+, 16% of the population. 85.7% of the C-19 CASES are among those UNDER 65. 81.1% of DEATHS are among those OVER 65. Japan has the highest percentage of 65+, 27%, yet still under 8,000 deaths, 60.5 per million. What do they know/do the rest of the world does not? C-19 is not a problem for the young and healthy herd. Mother Nature and her buddy Grim Reaper are just doing their jobs, culling the herd of the too many, too old, too sick warehoused too close together as Medicare/Medicaid cash cows in poorly run (BLUE) contagious lethal elder care facilities. If C-19 is mostly killing off old sick people why are super-legislator Chancellor comrade Biden, his squad of t*&ts, Fauci, their minions and our elected morons suspending civil liberties, due process, bankrupting the country with lockdowns, distancing and masked clown shows? And the lying, fact free, fake news MSM left-wing coup de’tat propaganda machine has betrayed its responsibility to democracy and an informed public.
