Can you provide a link for this number or that deaths are being held back for election purposes?


He's referring to the number of "excess deaths" above historical average that have not been included as COVID deaths yet.

Not going into the deaths being held back for election purposes. These data departments are swamped everywhere. Even Florida is still reporting deaths from 2-3 months ago (about 1/3 of their daily deaths are more than 6 weeks old).

I was shocked to see the UK has tested more than the US per capita and then Denmark is blowing everyone out of the water. It's remarkable.

First, the whole concept of COVID death harvesting is stupid and wholly political. But even if you believe that a "public health administrator" should have the final say on Cause of Death rather than the doctor of record or medical examiner, why does it take 8-16 weeks to go through death certificates and see if the record shows a positive COVID test or 2 symptoms consistent with COVID regardless of the actual COD?

And now let's pretend COVID Death harvesting and taking forever to conduct the surveys makes sense, why are they reporting these harvested deaths on the days/weeks of the survey?
