Republican Florida said they didn't have that many Covid19 cases, yet their pneumonia cases increased over 400%. Cover up? Yep.

i come to funnie to avoid this kinda stuff :(
KarateTortoise
But it is funny in a twisted way. Sorry though

Wouldn't most governments over-count to justify their shutting down the economy?
TondaTonda
Their fear is that real numbers would scare people into staying home and not spending. It’s like the advertised price.
Jagerbeast
Other countries dont have 30%+ unemployment, so they wouldnt need to justify it?

At least Trump lost the popular vote. The UK gave Boris a fucking 80 seat majority.
delpharseven
56.2% of the seats from 43.6% of the vote. First past the post is the worst system.

The debate: If you died of a stroke, but the stroke was "possibly" caused by the excessive blood clotting from Covid-19, cause of death is?
MaladaptedMedic
CVA s/p COVID-19 complications. So, both.
KarateTortoise
Stroke with covid-19 complications is what should be reported
NeverMetAGoodMod
Yeah but that's like cancer. Most cancer deaths are from the complications cancer causes.
NotDragonborn
Well covid is the reason for hospital capacity issue. Even if you were terminally ill the numbers are important for the healthcare system
Chereazi
If I push you from a roof, but you die because you fell onto asphalt, cause of death is? It's less of a debate than an attempt to downplay.
Kinkan83
Cause of death, didn't flap arms enough on the way down.

Gonna be interesting once we get the real US stats... My money is on they're over 200K already
KarateTortoise
I would agree, lot of counting to be done
FMan5
Yep hard to know, with so money months of not enough test kits. Thousands may have been missed.
speakertoidiot
Except secondary indicators (funeral, cremations) are not showing an increase over the official numbers.
Chereazi
Excess deaths were 30K more than reported as covid begin of may already...

Fun thing, it is under reported. Until end of April the US already had 30K MORE deaths compared to normal deaths + reported covid deaths. 1/
Chereazi
and that doesn't even include the reduced deaths trough vehicle accidents and the flu yet, so it was actually even more than 30K 2/
Chereazi
unreported covid deaths by then already. Wanna bet the number went up a lot since then?
