PA removes 200 deaths from state coronavirus count as questions mount about reporting process, accuracy
quote:

Pennsylvania has corrected its coronavirus data multiple times over the past week to account for irregularities, according to new reports.
Earlier this week, Pennsylvania started to include “probable deaths” in its fatalities. As a result, the total number of coronavirus deaths grew by 276, then 360, in successive nights, almost doubling the number of deaths in the state in two days. The Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) subsequently removed 200 deaths from its count after facing mounting questions about the accuracy of the count.

quote:

A “probable death” is one that a doctor believes is caused by COVID-19, even though the patient is never tested for the virus.

A lot of politicians and medical experts need this to be deadly.

They've staked their reputations on it.

If you don't believe in agendas being pushed during all of this then you're fricking retarded.

That's my thought as well. One thing people should know about our government is they are not to be trusted. I'm not saying that I think all numbers reported are bullshite, but when you do the research on some of the crooked shite they've done in the past, it shouldn't surprise you that stuff like that is still going on today. I'm not a conspiracy theorist nut, I'm just talking about some of the things that have been proven.

Americans have become too reliant upon our government, and that's a scary place to be.

Drudge ( I know... I know...)

has their American death toll at 51,049 in bright red at the top of the page....

missing the asterisk that any death at the time is always related to Covid... but sure let's keep trying to scare everyone

The CDC changed their policy on April 14th to include presumptive and probably cases in the Covid case and fatality numbers and most of the tracking websites followed suit. New York added almost 4000 deaths on that day from nursing home patients who had died without being tested. I'm sure the additional toll is much greater by now. Kind of makes me wonder how many nursing home patients are dying from traditional old age diseases these days.

So "flattening the curve" is now kind of a useless term because "the curve" is made of separate datasets (hard count vs estimates) and criteria that are likely being applied differently around the country. And it also means that comparing data from one country to another is more difficult, maybe impossible.

The potential for fraud is sobering.

I'm wondering where they'll be placed...pretty sure this is the first year the U.S. has had 0 cancer/heart disease/heart attack death.

Corona getting it in.
