Forgot to add thee CDC standard for Covid deaths as of March 24th may also impact the rise in deaths attributed.
Here is the source from the CDC but it was just said by Dr. Birk in the White House briefing
This is remarkable. Dr. Birx says here very plainly that anyone who dies “with COVID-19” is being counted as having died from COVID-19. She admits this is a “liberal approach” to recording mortality.
· Pneumonia deaths in NewYork= Covid even if not tested.
· Asthma deaths, bronchospasm= assumed covid
· COPD death= covid
· Emphysema= covid
· Bronchitis= covid
· Influenza A and B = assumed covid
· Sepsis or any kind= Covid
We can sort this out afterwards if the above cause of death all dropped massively versus previous years. Flu deaths are way down to 24,000 versus last year 61,000 and last year was a very long season that went out past April.
We just don't know if this is killing the same cohort as the flu or if they are being counted in the Cover 19 deaths or if the flu this year happened to have dropped off sharply from previous years for some unknown reason.
Also remember if you believe the danger of this please go out and buy life insurance. Also note they still sell it and rates have not gone up???
What do the actuaries know that the politicians and reporters don't?
