U.S. Covid-19 deaths top 140,000 amid rising worries about data integrity, racial disparities

WASHINGTON, July 19 (Xinhua) -- The United States has reported 140,000-plus COVID-19 deaths and more than 3.71 million cases as of Sunday morning, both figures ranking first worldwide, as the global tally of cases has topped 14.3 million with a death toll above 602,000.

Despite skyrocketing caseloads, U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday he won't issue an order at the national level mandating the use of masks, even as the country continued to break its single-day coronavirus case record amid a pandemic that is far from being contained.

By contrast, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday called on people in a statement to wear masks to prevent the pandemic's spread, with CDC Director Robert Redfield saying, "Cloth face coverings are one of the most powerful weapons we have to slow and stop the spread of the virus."

In this challenging era brought about by the pandemic, another move by the White House has led to increased worry among health experts, as the Trump administration on Tuesday ordered hospitals to sidestep the CDC and report real-time patient data directly to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) via a new platform "HHS Protect," or through a system called "TeleTracking."

Although the move casts doubt upon data transparency and credibility, Redfield defended the policy change, saying this would reduce their reporting burden, while the CDC team and other COVID-19 response teams still have access to hospital data, according to a CDC statement.

However, Senator Patty Murray of Washington, the top Democrat on the Senate health committee, was skeptical about the TeleTracking contract, describing it as a "non-competitive, multimillion-dollar contract" for a "duplicative health data system," according to a report by The New York Times.

If you believe 140,000 are dead from the Corona beer virus you just might be a STUPID Liberal

If china is creating bio weapons, you can darn well bet they
Put a few ethnic targets in as well.
I dont know anyone stupid enough to have a test that will be COVID positive, even if it is a different coronavirus. Everyone i know,is smart enough to keep this off their record which is shared with every government agency through ed ili tracking.

The Governors of Florida, Texas and Arizona should have on-going investigations into date collecting - there is so much smoke with stories of improper reporting surely there is a fire.

Fauci reviewed the situation of minority groups in the country, who are facing a higher incidence of chronic diseases and are at greater risk of infection with the coronavirus,...

This does not mean race is a causal factor. It could mean that blacks simply choose not to wear masks or practice social distancing to the extent of other demographic groups.

RE: Xinhua?

Yes, But the 140,000 number was not concocted by them. It is reported in all other news agencies — Reuters, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, etc.

and as admitted by Dr. Ezike, director of Illinois Department of Health, the actual number of people who died of coronavirus itself is in the single digits.

“...This does not mean race is a causal factor. It could mean that blacks simply choose not to wear masks or practice social distancing to the extent of other demographic group....”

Fauxi, working with the CCP, most likely “engineered” this thing to take all of the communists’ so-called undesirables; blacks, the sick, the weak, the elderly, etc. He and Scarf, both, should be locked up in GITMO as domestic enemy terrorists for what they did to the economy. Especially Fauxi, for allocating millions of taxpayer dollars, all under obama’s approval, to that CCP bioweapons lab to develop this crap for the very purpose it’s being used for. Public hanging of the little, PIAPS-loving ,commie bassturd is too waaaaaayyyyy good for him.

We’ve come to a fork in the road, and to paraphrase Yogi Berra Trump needs to take it. Either he dumps Fauci and the corrupt CDC and appoints honest, rational people to lead us back to normalcy, or the Deep State may have finally won.

If Trump did issue a nationwide mask order, you can bet that democrat governors and mayors would automatically recind their mask orders, and the media would start screaming about how ineffective masks are and only a fool would ware one.

Here is your racial disparity, because it has been thought that the virus has infected more people of color,they should infect an equal number of whites to even the score. Mental illness is wide spread and not being treated

Let’s just ignore the fact that racial disparities are conduct related because it doesn’t fit the Leftist narrative.
