BTW, I’m not convinced governors were/are cooking the numbers down.

I think there’s a decent chance they were and are inflating the number of deaths due to WuFlu.

We need a census done of every residential care death, no matter where it occurred, in the country since at least March of 2020.

No assumptions.

And let the chips fall where they may.

Agreed!

My Dad died in a long-term care facility during this cluster-farkle and I made d@mn sure his death was listed from his cancer and that he was NOT a, ‘Covid gimme more cash for Government-Inflicted Death’ statistic!

Still makes me SO angry! Grrrr!

There’s clearly a lot of chaff both ways. ‘Real’ statistics on deaths for flu take until the latter half of the following year, and are still rather uncertain.

That said, folks were trying to explain the difference between NYCs 4500 typical deaths in a month and 19,000 deaths that month as mis-categorizations.
