Why is it that long past the peak of the virus, the number of deaths continues to skyrocket beyond what the revised government models predicted?
On Saturday, the Washington Post reported that Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House Coronavirus Task Force response administrator, is accusing the CDC of using an antiquated model to track coronavirus deaths that could be responsible for inflating the death numbers by as much as 25 percent. The Post cites four unnamed sources who reported a dispute between Birx and Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, last Wednesday over the modeling.
“There is nothing from the CDC that I can trust,” Birx reportedly said, according to two of the Post’s sources.
If the 25% inflation number is true, that would place the total deaths closer to the 66,000 death figure that the government predicted in April.
We need not rely on an off-the-record citation from the Washington Post to know that where there is smoke, there is fire. Birx already publicly admitted last month that CDC is telling states to code any death of an individual who tests positive for COVID-19 as a coronavirus death, even if it is not proven that the death was caused by COVID-19.
The problem is now that we know the virus is so much more widespread than previously thought, and therefore so much less deadly, how can we assume that anyone who merely tests positive for the virus died because of the virus? This is especially true now that we know that the majority of those who test positive for coronavirus in areas where everyone is tested (ships, meatpacking plants, and prisons, for example) are asymptomatic?

Thank you!
Cut the 'bonus' money off and you will see a huge drop in numbers.
ALSO, keep running tests and 'hope' for some positives and when the # of deaths goes down, it shoots the 'plan' down.
I am not really a 'conspiracy theory nut' BUT a whole lot of polished ads, themes, PSAs etc sprung up overnight and it is hard to go for a short period of time without hearing something in regards to this 'blown up farce'.
Sure, there is a problem and I/WE have lived through many other 'end of the world situations' and managed to survive without 'BIG BROTHER' stepping in and shut the world down.
Good one making the rounds that (sorta)states...
How does it feel to know that Pols have the ability to shut off YOUR paycheck while theirs keeps rolling in and YOU/WE are paying them.
FOLLOW THE MONEY
We have to wait for all the mail in death certificates to be counted as well. Death harvesting.
Birx already publicly admitted last month that CDC is telling states to code any death of an individual who tests positive for COVID-19 as a coronavirus death, even if it is not proven that the death was caused by COVID-19.
In fairness to the CDC, they are using the same methodology and algorithms that they use to determine the number of deaths from influenza. Not every death attributed to influenza is confirmed by a diagnostic test and almost none by definitive autopsy. The numbers they come out with are usually a guesstimate of the number of deaths in vulnerable people with chronic diseases and others who died as a result of probable infection with the influenza virus. Their assumption is that the influenza infection was the coup de grace and hence the “cause” of death. These mortality rates are all statistical constructs. Most clinicians do not consider this data as absolutely accurate.
The CDC numbers for Covid-19 deaths are in fact tens of thousands less than what is being shown in the WorldOMeter and Johns Hopkins University websites.
CDC puts a caveat on their webpage stating that these numbers are PROVISIONAL and could change as death certificate confirmations from each states are officially confirmed.
Regardless, a consensus for the numbers so far will take at least 6 months.
SHE’S the one who said, in a WH Briefing, for them to code it that way !!!!
RE: That’s a misrepresentation of what she said. It was a misrepresentation then, and is a misrepresentation now.
Ok, for the sake of REAL news, exactly WHAT did she say? And please provide the link... thanks.
