On Friday, July 17, during a press conference, a spokesperson mentioned that 85 infants under the age of one had tested positive for coronavirus,” Judge Canales said in a statement, KRIS 6 reported. “This number reflects the cumulative total of positive tests for infants under the age of 1 since the beginning of testing in mid-March, which has resulted in 8,171 positive test results.”
“For context, the spokesperson was using that statistic to illustrate that no one is naturally immune to this virus. While the elderly and those with existing medical conditions are at greater risk of illness and death, anyone can get the virus, from the elderly to infants, and without regard to race, gender, or economic status. The number was used to illustrate this point.”
“However, without this context,stating this number during our press conference led many to believe that we had a sudden surge in infants under the age of one testing positive. We have NOT had a sudden surge of 85 infants testing positive,” she said.

They just ran this on NBC as news....
So the MSM can now report with confidence that you had a sudden surge of 85 infants testing positive.
Report, retract quietly. Rinse, repeat, lies can not harm credibility that way.
(If 100% of us contracted this Covid Virus only 99.997% would be left to tell our story.)
Much of this ChiCom virus reporting is total BS!
Can anyone point to the results anywhere, anytime for the antibody testing? And for the new positives, was the report for a first test on a person, or the fifth test on the same person? It’s all crap.
Trump needs daily Truth Squad pressers to counter these narratives.
Not surprised. There are too many people involved in the fraud to keep a lid on it.
What a tangled web we weave...
You can’t trust authorities who manipulate numbers like this.
CNN spread the misleading story - documented in comments at the following, beginning with #2 -
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3866246/posts
note how USA Today knew the figures was from the tests “since March”, yet CNN did not report that and the world’s FakeNewsMSM did no checking.
also, even after Canales clarified the matter, I haven’t heard of anyone in “MAINSTREAM MEDIA” CORRECT IT! WHY WOULD THAT BE?
from the comments at GP:
Annette Rodriguez Should be in jail for
spreading lies and basically yelling fire in a theatre
indeed. she said they hadn’t had their first birthdays, when she must have know plenty had.
False? ANOTHER LIE!!! WTF! ZERO accountability for these lying MOFO PSYCHOPATHS.
The LIE is the WEAPON used most often by the SUPERCRIMINALS in OUR republic.
Such as it is, the press has become the greatest power within the Western World, more powerful than the legislature, the executive and judiciary. One would like to ask; by whom has it been elected and to whom is it responsible? - - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
An electronic curtain has descended over the republic.

Why? Lost cause since he takes direction from Fauci.
another scam, which I haven’t seen being picked up the US FakeNewsMSM as yet!!! why not. this is huge:
16 Jul: Daily Mail: UK’s daily death toll is INFLATED: Academics say fewer than 40 people are dying of Covid-19 per day and accuse government of adding historic deaths in batches ‘for some time’
By Sam Blanchard
The way officials lump historical deaths onto random days — and include fatalities that happened weeks or even months ago — give a misleading picture...

17 Jul: BBC: Hancock calls for urgent review into coronavirus death data in England
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has called for an urgent review into how coronavirus deaths have been recorded in England.
It follows confirmation from Public Health England that reported deaths may have included people who tested positive months before they died.
Other UK nations only include those who die within 28 days of a positive test.
Officials say the publication of daily death figures will be paused while the issue was “resolved”...
A note on the government’s website read: “Currently the daily deaths measure counts all people who have tested positive for coronavirus and since died, with no cut-off between time of testing and date of death...
Prof Carl Heneghan from University of Oxford, who spotted the issue with the data, told the BBC there was “huge variation” in the numbers of daily deaths reported in England by PHE.
While NHS England currently reports 30-35 deaths per day, Public Health England (PHE) data often shows double that or more, he said.
The reason is that anyone who has tested positive for coronavirus but then died at a later date of another cause would still be included in PHE’s Covid-19 death figures.
“By this PHE definition, no one with Covid in England is allowed to ever recover from their illness,” Prof Heneghan says.
“We need correct and accurate statistics so we can really understand the trend - otherwise it’s very difficult to know what’s going on,” he added.
Figures release from PHE today show that just under 10% of coronavirus deaths in England happened more than 28 days after a positive test.
In almost half of those cases, Covid-19 was recorded as the main cause of death...
Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales only include deaths in their daily count if someone died within 28 days of a positive test...
Dr Susan Hopkins, from Public Health England, said there was no agreed method of counting deaths from Covid-19.
“In England, we count all those that have died who had a positive Covid-19 test at any point, to ensure our data is as complete as possible...
