Rarely do I hear them up here in Québec but I do know 2021 (spring) is the big year for them in North America. I remember them in Kentucky, South Dakota and Chicago one year...it was like a damn storm and the weather was hot / humid anywhere we went in the mid-west. In Kentucky, near the military base, we had a Vietnamese family that would go out and capture those things...then cook them (deep fried), some brown / white rice with vegetables. Those little fuckers were tasty. wrbtrader
Yeah... whatever.... we will give you another one to read so you can educate yourself and stop continually pushing ignorance. Global COVID-19 death toll more than double official estimates - IHME https://www.reuters.com/business/he...an-double-official-estimates-ihme-2021-05-06/ The COVID-19 pandemic has caused nearly 6.9 million deaths across the world, more than double the number officially recorded, a new analysis from the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) estimated. Deaths go unreported as most countries only record those that occur in hospitals or of patients with a confirmed infection, the report showed. The IHME is an independent health research organization that provides comparable measurement of the world's health problems and has been cited in the past by the White House and its reports are watched closely by public health officials. The reported COVID-19 mortality is strongly related to the levels of testing in a country, the IHME said. "If you don't test very much, you're most likely to miss COVID deaths," Christopher Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, said in a briefing call with journalists. IHME estimated total COVID-19 deaths by comparing anticipated deaths from all causes based on pre-pandemic trends with the actual number of all deaths caused during the pandemic. In the United States, the analysis estimated COVID-19 related deaths of more than 905,000. Official figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday estimated 575,491 deaths due to the novel coronavirus. The CDC did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the report. The report only includes deaths caused directly by the virus, not deaths caused by the pandemic's disruption to healthcare systems and communities. "Many countries have devoted exceptional effort to measuring the pandemic's toll, but our analysis shows how difficult it is to accurately track a new and rapidly spreading infectious disease," Murray said.
They are expected any day now depending on soil temperature and this is the big one. There are articles popping up on how to cook them and eat them but fuck no. Aint never getting that hungry! I am sure the birds will be living large for 3 weeks like at a buffet. Surrounded by trees, those buastards will climb and shed their "skeleton" and it is going to be raining shit like the Walking dead!
Growing up in the United States for awhile...I remember having the chore of cleaning the yard, swimming pool and the patio of those critters. Not much of a problem but the "noise" (concert loud) they made was relentless. Billions to Trillions of them this time around. I always knew I was home when I heard them. The aftermath is just as bad...felt like I had to go out and rake the leaves out of the yard. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-is-brood-x-us-cicada-infestation-coming-in-2021/ wrbtrader
When the lawn guys come around and the rider mower is shooting out chopped up cicadas... I play in a softball league and if I am standing in the outfield in a swarm every ground ball hit to me is a frickin inside the park home run.. telling you now...
In fact, falsification of the numbers is what got us over 500k. The actual number is much much smaller.
CDC numbers reveal hospital counted over 130k deaths from pneumonia, influenza, heart attack, as covid-19 https://rightsfreedoms.wordpress.co...pneumonia-influenza-heart-attack-as-covid-19/ Over 84% of all Covid-19 deaths are in Democratic states, according to the CDC. Hospital systems are accused of counting patients who died from serious pre-existing conditions as Covid-19 deaths in order to receive more money from the government for Covid-related deaths. The CDC updated their death counts to reveal that Covid-19 is rarely the actual cause of Covid-19 deaths. According to the CDC, 87,000 patients died from bacterial pneumonia and influenza. Another 17,000 died from chronic respiratory diseases, and another 26,000 died from adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by bacteria. Additionally, 44,000 patients died from hypertension not related to Covid. Yet those patients were also counted among Covid deaths. According to One America News (OAN), hospitals counted 51,000 patients who died from heart attacks as Covid-19 related deaths.
