Abbott here in Texas was talking about another lockdown because he's pissed all of these sheriffs are giving him the one finger salute. I hope Lt. Dan runs against him in 2022 because Abbott needs to be bounced. He's pissed off a lot of Texans and his approval ratings are tanking. All he had to do is stay strong and go off the examples of other strong governors. But like all R rinos, he's weak and feckless and just talks the tough talk when the time is appropriate.
God I get so tired of hearing about it. I tried to get a bar hopping night scheduled with some friends the other day and a couple of the lib ones were like BUTTTT DA RESURGE R U CRAZY STAY HOME!!!!!!!!!
Ya I think they all do that. Date reported may or may not be the actual date of the death. But it is a valid statistic reflecting the number if deaths over a short period of time. World meters also has an interesting feature where you can choose to graph the average deaths with a 3-day or 7-day moving average, which some may consider to provide a more accurate picture of death rates.
Think of it this way. A state's death numbers for a particular day may include a few deaths that actually happened last week. In that case, it almost certainly excludes a few deaths that actually happened today, but won't be reported until next week. You don't have one of those events without the other. So we can't know for certain if the numbers are exact on any given day, but they are reasonably accurate since these events would balance each other out.
Yup, we have 10,000x the testing capacity, so the infections are skyrocketing but the death toll is dropping incredibly, almost as if they are tracking nothing but the common cold. Unbelievably too, heart disease, cancer and "old age" deaths are plummeting, hOw CAn tHAt bE?
Nobody is allowed to go outside until traffic deaths drop to zero, and also nobody is allowed to go to McDonalds until diabetes and obesity related deaths drop to zero. By the way, you're not allowed to hug your grandma or be around anyone +60 until you've quarantined for 2 weeks to make sure you don't have the flu or the common cold, and you have to do it every single time you visit.
I'm thinking every state has had under 100 daily deaths for quite a long time.
State and local governments have been inflating the numbers to get more aid money. The media have been inflating the numbers to hurt Trump and also to create a crisis that will result in more readers, more clicks, and more profit. And then, very recently, there was the discovery that UNUSED tests that went to processing (without a sample ever being taken from a person) have been producing positive results.
A while back, Colorado did a study that found that their number of Coronavirus deaths was off by 24%. Mainly they subtracted out "died with" deaths, and only counted "died from" deaths.
Just two more weeks before we see a spike of deaths in Texas and Florida, right?

World meters uses date reported not date if actual death. 65% of deaths reported last week didn’t actually happen last week.

Accurate to an extent. Deaths are still backlogged from April though

CDC has something called excess deaths. It does clearly show the impact of the virus but also how it has tapered off.

oh oh oh but we are hot on the heels of the swine-based-chyna-sourced-plague
And that's with Hydroxychloroquine being borderline illegal.
You just wrote what should be the lead story on every news channel,and American newspaper
If you count the ones that were actually corona and not something else it's even less

My state keeps going back weeks proclaiming more covid deaths postmortem when they died of other things to keep the numbers pumped up.
