There are 846 fewer active cases today than yesterday, a decrease of 3.62%.
Hope this is the beginning of a trend

Next question that probably gets asked here all the time.
What is a "probable" case?
Someone that's sick but hasn't gotten a confirmed test, someone healthy that is probable due to contact tracing?

Probable cases from what I read here are the rapid tests ... actual cases are the PCR up the nose test.

How is a rapid test administered? They don't swab up the nose?

Wut.
Currently, all deaths in individuals with COVID positive lab results are being counted, this may include individuals with pre-existing conditions, individuals who have met the "end of isolation" criteria prior to death, or individuals ultimately determined to have another cause of death.

All this stuff said on here regularly is so dumb.
No, this is not true. Covid deaths are counted when Covid is listed on the death certificate. It is listed on the death certificate if it is considered among the reasons for death. If a patient is hospitalized with Covid, and dies of a heart attack, or pneumonia, or even septic organ failure, if Covid is even remotely considered among the contributing factors, it will be counted. If you think the majority of Covid deaths don’t really involve Covid, you are showing how little you know.
Same with hospitalizations. If someone is hospitalized with a broken leg, and they test positive for Covid, of course they need to be moved to the Covid area for safety concerns. They will be counted among those hospitalized with Covid because of this reason. If you think this is even a sizable minority of Covid hospitalizations, you are projecting your agenda. The vast majority of Covid hospitalizations are people sick with Covid.
It may not be worthy of lockdowns and restrictions, but that doesnt mean it doesn’t make some people very sick, and is the cause of death for others.

If you can prove this and somehow get it to the masses COVID would end tomorrow.

Yes but it run differently. It's HERE & NOW test .. the other takes 2/3 days to return results.

This doesnt mean someone who does of something unrelated months later is counted as a Covid death. It means if someone dies of a heart attack several weeks into a bout with Covid, even after seemingly recovered, they are likely to put Covid on the death certificate. This is not the majority of deaths. Most people are dying from complications obviously related to Covid.

The question is how far back are they going, if an 96 year old has Covid, recovers & passes a month later from natural causes based on LDH it will be a Covid death

It’s a nose swab as well... didn’t really go very deep on my test yesterday

Likely true, if they feel the natural causes were even remotely related to Covid. This happens, but do you think these scenarios are 20, or even 10, of the deaths per day?
Posted on 11/25/20 at 1:10 pm to MiloDanglers
Probably 5-10

LDH does not state that they count COVID deaths based on what is on the death certificate. They specifically state all deaths in individuals with COVID positive lab results are being counted. Where do you get your interpretation of LDH's statement?

I’m pretty sure it’s around 4500 deaths are over 70 in Louisiana
Between people that could drop at any minute from obesity & heart attacks to end stage dementia patients I think there are a lot of deaths being counted as Covid especially with LDH being transparent that a positive is counted even if it’s not the cause of death

Correct and it does not require a positive test nor symptoms. Anyone can claim covid "might" have been a factor with zero evidence and get the death classified as a covid death.
Take the 2 kids who died in a car accident. The doctor when interviewed and asked why they were considered covid deaths, the doctor said it was possible that the driver might have had covid and the symptoms caused the accident.
Also, don't forget NYC classified over 7,500 deaths as covid because they didn't want to take the time to do autopsies or tests. It was a blanket categorization with zero evidence to base it on.
