So it begins. I wonder what the final (reduced) death count will be?

quote:

A quarter of all deaths previously attributed to COVID-19 in Alameda County weren’t actually caused by the coronavirus, the Alameda County Public Health Department announced today.

That puts the county’s new official COVID-19 death toll at 1,223, down from 1,634.

The 25% decrease—or 411 cases—is due to the fact that COVID “wasn’t a direct cause” of death in these cases, according to county health officials.

County officials decided to revise the numbers after they reviewed guidance from the California Department of Public Health about how to classify deaths as being caused by COVID-19. The new count more accurately reflects how many people died as a direct result of, or complications from, a COVID-19 infection.

“There are definitely people who died from reasons that were clearly not caused by COVID,”

said Neetu Balram, a spokesperson for the Alameda County Public Health Department. 




I mean. I'm kind of over the majority of the country being dumb fricking bastards.

This is what the majority of the OT has been saying the whole time. If every state started recounting, the numbers would drop drastically.

There are few true Covidians remaining on the O-T from what I can see. Most have seen their error and have converted to the light, but some still remain.

They've been awful quiet this past week, I know that.
