Right, the talking point of "Trump is responsible for 130,000 deaths". Forget that nearly have of those were in the nursing homes that the democrats let the virus into and forget the fact that 3/4 of all deaths could have been avoided with this drug.
The CDC changed COVID-19 deaths to include anyone that dies while being a "probable case" on April 11th. Before April 11th, the only COVID-19 deaths that were counted to the total was people that tested positive, then died for any reason.
Obviously, this is not perfectly accurate. For example, a person that dies from a bullet to the head after testing positive would be counted as a COVID-19 death prior to April 11th. However, the redefinition caused all "probable" cases to be counted as COVID-19 cases, and any that die while being "probable" is counted as a COVID-19 death.
After April 11th (and assuming states decided to comply with the CDC's redefinition), what was previously one case became 16. On May 11th, Texas decided to adopt the CDC's redefinition, and their DHS started calling on the various counties to obey the new process. Collin County initially resisted this by holding this meeting on May 18th (if you want the infographic they used, you can find it here). On June 1st, Collin County was forced to comply, and their cases and deaths skyrocketed. Why? Because the new system deemed Texas endemic to COVID-19, meaning anyone in Texas that shows any signs, like coughing or sweating, could be deemed a probable case. Another rule is that if you've been in close contact with a probable case, you also become a probable case.
We should also not forget that the COVID-19 test only tests for the entire branch of coronaviruses, as admitted by the CDC here. What else is a coronavirus? The common cold. Therefore, if you have a cold and get tested, you'll test positive, and then the new probable cases rule makes all coworkers and family you've interacted with for the last month probable cases, adding to the total number of new cases and counting their death toward COVID-19 as well.
I'm of the belief that they know COVID-19 isn't that lethal, so they're doing everything they can to pump the numbers up. What you have to remember is that many of these democrat governors and politicians intentionally went overboard to cause economic harm (because bad economy = bad for standing president in an election year). They blocked hydroxychloroquine because it could have driven down death rates, which might have caused them to ease quarantine restrictions. Now, they don't need that. They've got 15 times as many "cases" and all it takes is natural deaths to get counted as a COVID-19 death.
If we kept things honest (only positive tests, only if death was related to disease, sought improvements to ensure only COVID-19 is detected), we'd likely be showing signs of recovery as all the people that would have died to COVID-19 are already dead. However, they need this quarantine to last up to November so they can force mail-in ballots.

This is all a bunch of shit man. What the hell?

That's for the antibody test, not the viral.
100% of them could have been avoided if China had done their fucking job and we hadn't been associating with them by having our borders closed...
