Colorado has made a stunning and significant change to the way it counts COVID-19 deaths that reduced the statewide figure from more than 1,000 to 878, according to a report.
The change came after Colorado’s Department of Public Health admitted that its COVID-19 death toll was counting those who tested positive for the coronavirus but had died of other causes, Fox 31 Denver reported late Friday.
The department now says 1,150 Coloradoans who died had COVID-19 but only 878 of those deaths were “due to” COVID-19.

Ka ching
I bet that doesn’t include people murdered by released prisoners.
For your interest.
Your kidding?
Meanwhile in Michigan...coronavirus stats are being cooked ip this very minute!
About a 24% decrease! Extrapolate that for the country - as it would not surprise me if many states have been measuring the same way. (especially when government money is involved)
Make it a crime to miss report a death as Covid. THen, watch as tens of thousands are recalculated.
no no no- can’t be- the lying msm are telling everyone cases are ‘skyrocketing’ now that states are reopening- This is the “NEW TRUTH”- we must comply
I’m shocked that gov. polesmoker’s people would lie.
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
Parolee accused of murder left prison early due to ongoing COVID response by state..

Reported one third over actual.
I came up with the same percentage and I’m no statistical analyst but if nearly 24 percent had covid 19 but DIED of other causes wouldn’t that mean that danged nigh everybody in the state had been a carrier of the virus? Otherwise it seems impossible to me. I am very sick and have to use oxygen most of the time so maybe I’m overlooking something?
That’s a good estimate.
Don’t know much abut stats except for what Mark Twain would suggest how they can be used. Whatever it is - stay safe FRiend.
Well that’s one way of flattening the curve.
Truth be told, the lockdown probably killed more people than the pandemic in states that didn’t intentionally infect the nursing homes.
How do we know this is true...maybe they want nursing homes deaths to go down...are you listening Gov Cuomo
Thanks, george
