Thank you "cleeds" for your info link...

A lot of misinformation going round (even for an audiophile chat room;-)

I burned my bridges @ audioasylum due to the political leanings of (Rod) the owner and the fact that one of his moderators thought that a positive post about a date rape drug was OK/hilarious.

I also see that MC has not come back to "defend" his FACTUALLY WRONG post.

Ooo, a non-believer.  All worship at the rona alter.  And what’s the word for those who wish ill will on others?  I think the word of the day is mean spirited.

"If this is such a geeky audio site why are you here."

If you have to ask....oh never mind. By your late 40's I would hope someone's  "get it" quotient has increased. 

I guess it's a skill to interpret forum posts sometimes? I don't consider it one, but in this case......?

Using the lack of decline in SS payments as a reason to doubt Covid mortality figures is specious reasoning. There are multiple factors in play determining SS payments. According to the Social Security Administration's published monthly statistics, it looks like SS recipients in the broad "retired" category has increased about 1% between March 2020 and March 2021. (seemingly a more reliable metric to judge participation in SS than total $ payout.) The census bureau's birth statistics shows boomer population numbers increasing steadily from 1951 through 1963 before birth numbers start declining. If birth rates among those dying from Covid and those eligible to participate in SS (and the years they start SS payments) were equal year to year, such suspicions would have validity. However, when you factor in a rapidly increasing population of SS eligible citizens and an increase in people taking early SS/retirement because of Covid, it's not surprising that we haven't seen a decline in SS participation and payouts.
