re: Another Corona Virus Story About Falsified Data

Could also be a reflection of the algorithm being influenced by your browsing/search history. It's going to provide results on Corona since that is what you spend time researching.

That certainly has an affect.

Another thing that’s happening in home health is that nurses perform COVID tests on patients. If the patient tests positive, that’s one case. The nurse then visits the patient on a regular schedule and performs a COVID test on every visit. If the same patient tests positive again, boom, another case. Depending on how long the patient is actually sick, that same person can be responsible for multiple cases based on being tested multiple times while “sick.”

Last week on the Today show one of their medical news reporter stated that strokes and heart attacks were down over 20 percent to date than last year. Hmmm.

My brother works at a local business where a co-worker was diagnosed with Covid-19 so they tested everyone there.

The initial test showed 9 people including my brother had it as well. He was sent home. About a day and a half later it was found that all 9 were false positives and none had it.

I wonder if the 9 were still counted as positive cases? My brother does not know.

Sounds like the nurse he was talking to was little more than a stranger too.

In a perfect world we would have people in the hospital with covid, people in the hospital because of covid, and only count deaths that covid was the main culprit. In reality, that is a logistical nightmare. That, however, doesn't give politicians and media free reign to use those numbers to misrepresent reality.

Y’all are making a bigger deal out of this than it really is. At the worst of times in NYC the % of folks with COVID was probably 3%. So the odds of a person in the hospital, who tests positive for COVID, being there for a different reason is 3 % AT MOST. Take off 3% of the cases, and the picture barely changes. Quit focusing on that.

The term “new cases” has been tagged to coronavirus within google’s algorithm so that almost any search term added to the words “new cases” will cause google results to display links to corona virus articles on page 1.

It’s nothing more than the search engine manipulating results.

Google provides results that are most relevant. Calling that "manipulation" is kind of silly.

Considering there are millions and millions of articles about this virus, it’s quite easy for them to do.

Or, you know, considering there are millions and millions of articles about new cases, they are highly likely to be included in the results.

And btw, for me "new cases sunflower" only has 1 result on the first page about covid, and it is result #10. There is a Sunflower County in Mississippi.

Similarly, there is only 1 result about covid for "new cases rhino". The website is Rhino Times.

"New cases bicycle" has several results because people are buying more bikes in NYC due to covid.


HUGE nothingburger here.
