Just how inaccurate are the coronavirus death totals around the country? If past reports (see The Real Cause of a ‘Coronavirus Death’ In Florida Will Have You Questioning Everything) and the latest data out of Palm Beach County are any indication, the answer is that the numbers are nowhere close.
The local CBS affiliate did an investigative piece on deaths being reported in the Florida county. What they found were multiple falsely reported deaths for COVID that turned out to be nothing of the sort. We aren’t talking about people who had cancer and were classified as a coronavirus death because they also were infected, which would be back enough on its own.
No, we are talking about stuff like this via 12 News.
A 90-year-old man who fell and died from complications of a hip fracture.
A 77-year-old woman who died of Parkinson’s disease.
These are some of the deaths in Palm Beach County recently, and incorrectly, attributed to COVID-19 in medical examiner records.
The CBS12 News I-Team uncovered several examples in Medical Examiner reports of people counted as a COVID death who did not die of COVID.
It gets worse though. In total, they found eight people listed who not only didn’t die of COVID, but who didn’t even have COVID listed as a contributing factor. And to be sure, “contributing factor” is already being used incredibly liberally by these medical examiners.
In total, of the 589 people on the spreadsheet they received from the medical examiner, only 169 actually died singularly of COVID. All the rest had preexisting conditions, some of which would have killed those people regardless.
Gov. Ron DeSantis says he’s aware of the issue and wants to see them fixed.
She said of the 581 deaths on the spreadsheet, only 169 deaths are listed as COVID without any contributing factors.
Governor Ron DeSantis said in a recent appearance on Fox News that his office is aware of deaths incorrectly attributed to COVID-19, like the case of a man in Orange County who died in a motorcycle crash, but was listed as a COVID death.
“I think the public, when they see the fatality figures, they want to know who died because they caught COVID,” said DeSantis.
While the coronavirus is in fact deadly and contagious, anyone in their right mind should be questioning the numbers we are seeing out of these states. If a single local news station can go to a single county and find eight glaringly false submissions, imagine how many thousands of “errors” there are across the country.
All of this matters because the level of fear being stoked directly affects the countries operation, from opening businesses, to going back to school. If people are told the truth, which is that the vast majority of people dying of COVID have preexisting conditions, and in some cases, would have died anyway, that makes the numbers look a lot different. It would allow people to make smarter decisions, including remaining socially distanced if they are in a high risk category.
Instead, we are getting this fear porn scatter-shot, where people falling off ladders are counted as coronavirus deaths. It needs to stop. People deserve real information so they can make proper decisions for themselves.
And counted as a COVID19 death.

end there
Thanks for the help mod !
It’s a test to see how much the compliant sheep will believe. So far it has been a rowsing success.
It sounds like Gov. DeSantis should fire Dr. Rivkees, and appoint a new Surgeon General to take charge of the Florida Department of Health and put a stop to these shenanigans.
Orlando has a motorcycle crash and the guy died but listed as Covid. When the officials were asked there why was this Covid the reply was that the guy tested positive and it could have caused the crash.
This is all a massive scam
Why isn’t the Administration pounding on the rigged virus data? This BS is going to be used to keep many if not most Schools closed which will play into court ordered mail voting. It is beyond frustrating
With a Federal cash bonus for Covid deaths this is called Embezzlement and Fraud.
As my 10th grade history teacher said, you will always get at least 50% credit for any question as to why someone did something by answering “for the money”. Immediately prior to the COVID crisis (early March), my mom went into the hospital and was there for roughly 2 weeks prior to dying (1 day in ER and the rest in Intensive Care). We still have not gotten the “official” bill from the hospital, but we did get a letter from the insurance company saying they were billed in excess of $400K and they denied 100% of the charges. So ... why was the bill $400K? Because the hospital made an assumption that the government would step in and “save” the medical profession? Maybe. And why did the insurance company deny 100% of the charges? Because the insurance company wants mom’s death to be classified as COVID so that it is covered by the government? Maybe (probably). Mom was never tested for COVID, and it was not mentioned on her death certificate, but billing is in limbo because everyone wants to screw the taxpayers. There need to be serious consequences for those that are willing to bankrupt our country for their personal gain!!!!!!!!!!!
Palm Beach County is uncommonly interested in reporting “facts” that in any way could cast doubt on the transparency and veracity of both the DeSantis administration at the state level, and the Trump administration at the Federal level. They cannot even be expected to deliver an accurate count on elections on a timely basis.
They have people in charge of things in that county who would lie....
HAHA, wait till November with the mail-in ballots
The courts will be busy deciding who won hundreds of races.
My theory...
President Donald Trump knows that we are steaming hot, with many more catching on.
We have about 100 days of escalating chaos ahead of us. Trump will let the SHTF the day after the election.
I was wondering what incentive the hospitals have to call all deaths COVID deaths too.
I assume because Mom is dead the hospital is out of luck, can they go after her estate?
Chances are they are sleazy Democrats so it’s all good.
exactly. Trump acts like the false information doesn’t even exist. Hell, pretty much ALL leadership acts like it doesn’t exist. We’re the only ones seeing it yet are being forced to play their stupid, fake game!
Every one of us who are able should volunteer as either election judges or poll watchers. The attempts to cheat are going to be unprecedented and brazen, now that the Left knows they are entirely above the law. I’m also fully expecting them to use Antifa/BLM to cause chaos at polling places in predominantly Republican precincts.
Trump has a knack for knowing if and when he should become involved in a situation, or whether he should just let it play out. He’s done that expertly in Seattle and now in Chicago. Let the local authorities handle it so that their voters will see right up close how tyrannical and / or stupid they are.
I think he knows full well how the COVID numbers have been messed with. He’ll choose a very good time to bring it up.
