Second therei is data that includes an estimate to fill in for the missing data (light blue bars): https://public.tableau.com/profile/dataviz8737#!/vizhome/COVID_excess_mort_withcauses_07152020/WithAndWithoutWeighting which shows a drop below expected deaths. Even with ordinary deaths misreported as COVID, there are fewer deaths overall. There's simply no way they can cover up that drop in the near future no matter how much misreporting they do about the cause of death.
For a test that is supposed to be so definitive and accurate, there sure are a great many firms in development of testing for the diagnosis of COVID-19
Actually, 750(it was 746 yesterday) of them the diagnostic pipeline at the time of this post as a matter of fact. https://bit.ly/3clw4Za
If the testing on this is so definitive, why are 746 companies still developing testing for it?
Possibly because they still have not effectively isolated the virus and still don’t know what exactly it is that they are looking for.
Or could it be that it is extremely difficult to detect this SARS-CoV-2 virus because it is easily defeated by the immune system? (Note: SARS-CoV-2 virus. Hmmm…thought this was something so novel we have not seen it before? When then is it so similar to the SARS virus that it is called SARS-CoV-2 then? That would indicate that it is similar in nature to a virus we are well aware of so similar to a known virus that it is labeled as -2.
Gee, maybe not so novel after all huh? No more novel than any other mutated SARS virus which is quite common with RNA viruses like this SARS-CoV-2 virus btw. All RNA viruses mutate regularly which is why these virus vaccines are so ineffective, their target changes so quickly.
Or possibly that it is so immensely difficult to test an individual for a specific virus when the samples are always contaminated with all kinds of germs including bacteria, other viral strains and other DNA/RNA bearing tissues?
This product is intended for the detection of 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV). The detection result of this product is only for clinical reference, and it should not be used as the only evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment. https://bit.ly/2KnJ4kP
In other words: Don’t use the test result alone to diagnose infection or disease.
Pretty confident about their testing huh?
Perhaps that is why the CDC includes “probable cases” in their statistical counts:
What is a COVID-19 probable case?
A probable case or death is defined by
Meeting clinical criteria AND epidemiologic evidence with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID-19; or
Meeting presumptive laboratory evidence AND either clinical criteria OR epidemiologic evidence; or Meeting vital records criteria with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID-19. https://bit.ly/3bdziMV
Translation: You don’t even have to have “confirmatory laboratory testing performed” in order for the case to be considered a COVID-19 case.
I guess that could be helpful to the hospitals who have had their cash cows of elective surgery eliminated (80% of many hospitals incomes) and are losing money now.
They could just drop a medicare patient into the “probable COVID-19 category” and go from a standard Medicare admit of $4,600 to a COVID admit billable for $13,000 now. About a 3X billable increase.
And heck, if they can get them on a ventilator with a COVID diagnosis, the Medicare admit jumps to $39,000, over an 8-fold increase!
I guess its a conspiracy theory to imagine that hospitals losing money due to the contraction of their scheduled surgery income would begin to amazingly turn up more COVID cases and put some of these people with respiratory issues on ventilators as well.
Yeah…might not have anything to do with increasing revenues I guess since we know that ALL hospitals and doctors operate with full integrity and complete concern for ALL patients.
Uh, interested in a bridge in Brooklyn real cheap?
But hey, it’s all just b.s. right doc?
Im pretty sure I read that flu deaths are only counted from October through March in any given year. I think that was on the CDC website somewhere when I was tooling around on it not too long ago.
How hard is it to just create a 3rd column? Positive, Probable, Negative?
Yep... It’s all about money... The taxpayers stolen or misappropriated money...
Of course it’s money.
how convenient...just reapportion them to covid and ... voila!
I didn’t see TN mentioned but they count probable cases and deaths, though listed separately, in their daily totals.
They started counting them in May but didn’t start openly listing them separately on the health dept.’s site until June 12. Up til that point, you had to dig into their datasets to see it.
From the article: “None of the four most populous states (California, Texas, Florida, and New York) immediately responded to The Epoch Times inquiries.”
Gee, those are the current “hot spots”! What a coincidence!
Not just TN..Texas counts probables too.
They sure do. The video of the Commissioners Court a week or so ago, where it was explained how they were to do the counts, was an eye-opener. I sent the link to that out to folks on my email list and have been sending these FOX investigation links out as well.
And even out of the confirmed positives, how many of those have been deep tested to make sure it is the ChinaVirus popping hot, and not one of the common cold coronaviri?
