(Covid-19 death certificates make up for more than the higher percentages reported)
Numbers are not fully up to date, but still statistically accurate |
Apparently not enough people have died from Covid-19 for liberals, naysayers, and stay at homers to be satisfied. So the latest ploy by the left is go ahead and spin the numbers even more to come up with some more satisfactory numbers. Many different sources have gone out on the rampage to "prove" that there are way more Covid-19 deaths than are being reported. The logic for this is that we have a much larger amount of people dying over the past few weeks than can be explained by Covid-19 deaths.
In the simplest terms, the argument is that while we normally could have expected 100,000 deaths over XX time period, we have actually experienced 120,000 deaths. But since we only had 15,000 Covid-19 deaths reported, the other 5,000 are unaccounted for. The logic implies that those other 5,000 deaths should be (without any actual evidence) attributed to Covid-19.
I don't like the logic for a variety of reasons, but that doesn't matter, because the numbers simply do not bear this out. According to the official death certificate numbers from the CDC, there are more Covid-19 reported deaths than would be necessary to account for the larger percentage of deaths for this time of year. Even if these numbers grow (and they will as death certificates come in) there is no reason to believe that this analysis will change (as it is so far been incredibly consistent statistically).
Act Deaths | % of expected | Exp deaths | Difference | Covid-19 | |
57430 | 103 | 55757 | 1673 | 2712 | -1039 |
64313 | 115 | 55924 | 8389 | 8080 | 309 |
66577 | 120 | 55481 | 11096 | 12262 | -1166 |
55062 | 101 | 54517 | 545 | 10408 | -9863 |
243382 | 221679 | 21703 | 33462 | -11759 |
In other words, according to the official one place tracks everything CDC death certificate numbers, if it wasn't for Covid-19 deaths, we would have continued having a lower than average death count in 2020. According to these official death certificate numbers, there are no "extra" deaths being unaccounted for.
In fact we would have less than normal expected deaths. A more realistic argument would be that there are more "reported" Covid-19 deaths than statistically makes sense. By that logic, it could be argued that people who would have otherwise died of another cause are being lumped in as Covid-19 and thus over-inflating the numbers.
So where or how are these other people garnering such statistics saying otherwise? Well generally speaking they are using reported numbers from over there with official numbers from another source, and generally hodge-podging together a statistical analysis that draws the conclusion that they were seeking to prove in the first place.
It will be some time before all of these numbers are 100% up to date and complete. Perhaps things will change somewhat in the official death certificate count to back up some of these other statistical analysis... but it certainly seems very unlikely at this point.
In the meantime "conventional wisdom" (aka political talking points rhetoric) will continue to be that there are "extra" deaths and that Covid-19 is being under counted. You will hear blue state Governors and liberals talk about it to justify their positions. But make no mistake, conventional wisdom (at this point) is little more than bad analysis being used as political fodder.

Once again, Lil Schitty shows he cares more about trump then all the people who have passed because trump has done such a fantastic job....Notice that donnie the fuck just doubled his previous estimate of fatalities to 100k as if they are just numbers....Similar to Lil Schittty's handling of this new thread.....not giving a fuck about the suffering and costs we must endure to protect the fat assed obese idiot in charge....HIs legacy will be a destroyed economy and debt your spawn will never be able to pay off!!!!!
“Basically, every death certificate that comes across our desk now has COVID on it,” said a funeral director in Williston Park, N.Y., on a recorded phone call with Project Veritas in a newly-released video. James O’Keefe has been asking for people inside the medical system to blow the whistle if they see corruption or inconsistencies in reports about the Chinese WuFlu known as COVID-19. In conversations with several funeral directors across New York City, O’Keefe uncovered a shocking narrative where, without fail, every director he spoke to expressed his or her concern that coronavirus deaths are being inflated and every death in NYC is being recorded as a COVID death with or without testing to confirm.
“They are putting COVID on a lot of death certificates because people who are going to their hospital with any kind of respiratory distress, respiratory problems, pneumonia, the flu — the flu-like symptoms lead into the COVID-19,” said Joseph Antioco of Schafer Funeral Home. “To me, all you’re doing is padding the statistics. You’re putting people on that have COVID-19 even if they didn’t have it. You’re making the death rate for New York City a lot higher than it should be.”
One funeral director talked about a family who is related to an unnamed Supreme Court Justice who insisted on a private autopsy that discovered their relative did not have COVID-19. “I had one that was autopsied because the sister was famous, and apparently, and I don’t know who the Supreme Court Justice is, but the Supreme Court Justice was related to this family, and she says I know my sister didn’t die of COVID-19,” said Josephine Dimiceli of Dimiceli & Sons Funeral Home. “She said she had Alzheimer’s and they didn’t suction her. You have to suction because they forget how to swallow. And right away they put down COVID-19 on her death certificate, and the Supreme Court justice, whoever it is, contacted the hospital. They did an independent autopsy; bingo. No COVID-19.”

3. Another key issue for New York is stabilizing its finances, but the state needs funds from the federal government, Mr. Cuomo said April 17. The government has not yet passed any bill providing unrestricted funding for states, and states cannot begin to plan for reopening without help from the federal government.
"[Reopening] is up to the governors, it’s up to the governors — okay, but where is the funding?" he said.
"That is passing the buck without passing the bucks," Mr. Cuomo added, quoting A.J. Parkinson, the fictitious character invented by Mario Cuomo, Mr. Cuomo's father and former governor of New York.

un-fucking-believable.
Any of you trump slurpers care that trump just called out your hero W on his tv ad over the weekend promoting unity.....I'd be willing to bet not a single one will be outraged or care that W who occasionally could show empathy was attacked by Trump.....Even I cannot understand how you losers just keep swallowing as the country slowly spirals into the grips of trumps stupidity!!!!
And the dumb fuck rat applauds while swallowing!!!!!!!!

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump had a quick reaction on Sunday after former President George W. Bush called for national unity. He attacked Bush.
National unity, Trump made clear, was not on his agenda for the day, even as the death toll from the coronavirus pandemic that has ravaged the country passed 67,000 and tens of millions of out-of-work Americans struggled to get by.
Amid the death and devastation, the president was busy not only assailing Bush but another predecessor as well, embracing a fringe conspiracy theory to accuse former President Barack Obama of masterminding a “hoax” to take him down. Trump also attacked a prominent Democratic congressman, denigrated the media and threatened to withhold aid to states hard hit by the virus unless they bowed to his demands on immigration policy.
Then he planned to end his day with a long appearance on Fox News aimed not at speaking to the country as a whole but to his political base six months to the day before the November election, headlining a virtual “town hall” on the pandemic at the Lincoln Memorial, named for another previous president who famously once warned that “a house divided against itself cannot stand.”
L:il Schitty's remarks that the virus is not dangerous for his age group........WISHFUL THINKING AND BULLSHIT!!!!!
Younger adults are getting seriously sick and ending up in the hospital because of the coronavirus, and it's alarming doctors

Doctors on the frontlines say they're astonished at how many relatively young people are becoming severely ill from the novel coronavirus.
Business Insider spoke with one 31-year-old New York doctor who was about to be admitted to the ICU before starting to recover from COVID-19.
"For someone in their 40s, 50s, you want to try every thing you can to get them to survive," one ICU doctor told Business Insider.

When Dr. Anar Yukhayev's patient told him she'd developed a fever after a recent trip to Italy, he ran out of the room and grabbed a mask for each of them.
By that point, the 31-year-old obstetrician-gynecologist had been face-to-face with her for 20 minutes.
It was the first week of March, when reports of the novel coronavirus were starting to emerge in the New York City area. Westchester county, north of the city, was already seeing a cluster of cases.
Nancy Pelosi is blocking the house investigating China virus origins because she only wants to investigate Trump. This is outrageous. Worst house speaker in history.

Trump Scales Up His Estimate of Death Toll
May 3, 2020 at 8:39 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
“President Trump scaled up the estimate he has used for the number of expected dead from the coronavrius — projecting that the U.S. toll may be as high as 100,000,” the Washington Post reports.
“Trump had previously said that about 65,000 Americans would probably die of covid-19, the disease caused by the virus.”

Total Coronavirus Deaths Likely Greater Than 100,000
May 4, 2020 at 8:34 am EDT
“The United States recorded an estimated 37,100 excess deaths as the novel coronavirus spread across the country in March and the first two weeks of April, nearly 13,500 more than are now attributed to covid-19 for that same period,” the Washington Post reports.
Dr. Larry Brilliant notes that confirmed and “possible” coronavirus deaths now exceed 100,000 in the United States.
Others are now predicting it could go as high as 400,000 if federal guidelines are not followed (see below).

Housing Market Faces Its Next Crisis
May 4, 2020 at 6:38 am EDT
Washington Post:
“While aggressive federal and state intervention and temporary corporate measures have prevented a surge in evictions and foreclosures, the housing and rental market has fallen into a severe crisis that threatens the ability of millions of Americans to stay in their homes even if the coronavirus pandemic eases in the coming months.
“The speed and broad reach of the disruption are likely to pit landlords and mortgage companies against homeowners and renters, with each side claiming it needs more assistance and fueling calls for billions in new aid for the housing sector.
“The tension could explode this week as mortgage and rental payments come due for millions of Americans who have lost their jobs as the novel coronavirus has shuttered the U.S. economy.”

Trump Puts Florida In Play
Reuters:
“Trump had been considered the favorite to win Florida again over the prospective Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, despite edging out Hillary Clinton there by just 1.2%.”
“But two months into the biggest crisis of his presidency, the Republican has received mixed reviews for his response. Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis, a staunch Trump ally, meanwhile, has been criticized for being slow to close beaches and blamed for a faulty unemployment compensation system that locked hundreds of thousands out of benefits.”
“Recent polls now show Biden neck-and neck or slightly ahead of Trump in Florida as well as nationally. Trump’s internal polling shows the same.”

Meanwhile everyone swoons over Cuomo, whose nursing home plan was to force facilities to readmit hospitalized CV-19 residents or accept suspected CV-19 residents, making it a death trap for helpless seniors. But the spring breakers!
Florida will go even stronger for Trump in 2020
Dr. Fauci stresses that states should follow federal guidelines and should only reopen if they have
1) a two weeks decline in coronavirus cases
2) and are able to contact trace people who test positive
"The only thing I can do ... is just continue to urge the ones who don't have that capability to really go very slowly, and those that do, go ahead and go by the guidelines. The guidelines are very, very explicit and very clear. There is a lot of leeway because we give the governors the opportunity to be very flexible, but you have to have the core principles of the guidelines.
You can't just leap over things and get into a situation where you're really tempting a rebound. That's the thing I get concerned about. I hope they don't do that.
"I can't stress that states should follow the federal guidelines and only reopen if they have a two week decline in cases and the ability to identify, isolate and contact trace people who test positive.
It doesn't seem that we have that."
LOL I already told F'n that he misuses the word CONSCIOUS when he means to say, CONSCIENCE.
My cat is conscious, and I think she even has a bit of a conscience.
