Why Did a California County Just Reduce Its COVID Death Toll by 25%?

How Many Really Died from COVID? Another Damn Thing We Have to Be Concerned About

We thought we’d gone genuinely crazy last year, when we found ourselves having to explain the difference between “died from COVID” and “died with COVID.”

Died from meant the victim died from a particularly nasty respiratory bug that compelling evidence indicates escaped (or was released) from (after having been enhanced by) the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Communist China.

Died with meant you could have died from anything — up to and including getting in a motorcycle crash — while having a Wuhan infection of any severity, even asymptomatic.

Statistically, in most places, both “from” and “with” were counted as COVID fatalities, due in large part to financial incentives from Uncle Sugar.

We all knew about this a year ago, but what no one could know was what the percentage was of “with” to “from.”

It might have been high. As high as 25%:

The change is a result of Alameda County’s “alignment” with state guidelines, the county news release on June 4 stated. It said that the county previously included in its total virus toll any person who was positive for COVID-19 at the time of their death. This broader system was implemented prior to the state’s implementation of guidelines for reporting COVID-19 deaths.

Now, it will only include those who “died as a direct result of COVID-19, with COVID-19 as a contributing cause of death, or in whom death caused by COVID-19 could not be ruled out,” as per the state guidelines.

Reading that last bit again, Insanity Wrap realizes that the false-positive figure could be even higher than 25%.

The real tell for the severity of the pandemic is the excess mortality rate for 2020 (it was high, 384,000)

Even that 384k figure is a bit misleading.

We’ll never know how many of those excess deaths were actually due to the Wuhan Flu, and how many were due to our ham fisted response to it.

People died because they couldn’t get treatment for other conditions. People died because they were too frightened to go to the ER. People died because they turned to drugs during the lockdown. People died because they just gave up and killed themselves.

But even if we knew that ghastly total, the excess deaths figure would still be misleading.

The typical “died from Wuhan” victim had an average of 2.4 comorbidities and/or was quite elderly.

What that means is that in 2022 and maybe even 2023-24, we might enjoy a mortality deficit. That is, fewer people will die than expected.

To date there are 33.3 million cases of covid reported in the US. If people were dying directly from covid, wouldn't there be 33.3 million deaths reported ??

In one very small (in population, 15,000) county in Colorado the County Coroner fought for two months, going all the way to the governor’s office, to remove 3 improper COVID deaths from the records. Two died of gunshot wounds, the other from a motorcycle accident. Since both had tested positive for COVID prior to their deaths, they were recorded as COVID deaths. Most coroners can’t be bothered but she refused to give up. She said such improper death records, if allowed to build, would skew the death rate in such a small county, leading to more restrictions which were unwarranted. As of yesterday, total deaths in that county from COVID are 6.

No because 99.7% of those who contracted Covid RECOVER and have the antibodies. That’s why together with half of our population vaccinated, we are approaching herd immunity in the USA.

So, does this 6 deaths still include the gunshot and motorcycle deaths or did they already remove them?

If I had to guess, I would say it was because...someone was watching.

I believe many corrupt POS out in Liberal land are afraid they may be destined for prison when this is all investigated. Corruption and bilking the American taxpayers out of billions is a federal crime.

“People died because they couldn’t get treatment for other conditions. People died because they were too frightened to go to the ER. People died because they turned to drugs* during the lockdown.”

No body in our families and friends have died yet from lack of getting treatment, but we are seeing devastating health conditions from lack of seeing their doctors.

1. My wife has developed a bad hip that may need to be replaced to go with her bad neck. More on her below.

2. A SIL developed a serious Adult onset Leukemia. She had been feeling puny and difficulty breathing since the first of the year. She finally saw her primary care MD 2 weeks ago. After hearing her complaints, he sent her to the local hospital for tests. Her blood counts were so low, she was called back to the hospital to see her doctor and a specialist. She was admitted and treatment started with blood transfusions. She is hoping to come home to finish her current ivs in an nearby iv center.

3. One of my wife’s brothers about 4 months ago noted that his blood pressure pills didn’t seem to be working. While he was waiting a few days to see his MD, he had a stroke at home. He survived and seems to be doing okay.

4. We are hearing about other friends and relatives still unable to see their primary care docs with old and new health problems.

5. Back to my wife she has a bad neck, lower back and now a hip and ankle problem. She finally got an appt with the pain doc and saw him last Thursday at our PPO’s big hospital 30 miles away. He did a good exam and wanted Xrays. The Xray department had people standing due to a wreck on the freeway and several people/patients needing medical care from the wreck.

So we decided to come back to our town to go to the clinic the next day for her xrays.

She drove to the local clinic the next day/Friday at about 2 pm, and I didn’t see her for close to 3 hours. There were so many patients trying to get to the lab/xays and other appts. She and another woman waited outside for 15 minutes, and then they went to a big waiting room for another 20+ minutes. Finally, she got into the Xray/lab waiting room and waited another 30 minutes to get her Xrays.

A nurse friend at the clinic saw my wife waiting and told her that every clinic in California was overwhelmed by patients needing to be seen and unable to be seen until now.

My wife’s doctor got her Xrays electronically, and he wants to see her again. His staff found an opening 2 weeks away.

*Too much wine, beer and other alcohol.
