"She said of the 581 deaths on the spreadsheet, only 169 deaths are listed as COVID without any contributing factors."

That's LISTED factors. They wouldn't list if you were a 500 pounds, diabetic chain smoker. Very very few people went from fit and healthy to dead because of covid.

"hese are some of the deaths in Palm Beach County.."
Palm Beach and Broward County are 2 of the most corrupt places on Earth.

keep in mind that even without anyone cheating or lying, those numbers do not look suspicious

Covid mostly kills elderly and vast majority of elderly will have complicating factors.

That said, the 8 very blatant mistakes out of 581 that they found, do make the other numbers look suspicious

Yes. That is just what they found. That is from information volunteered. Before it gets to that spreadsheet, there are many other points at which fuckery could be inserted into the process.

For example, for all those comorbidity deaths, how many actually tested positive? How many who actually tested positive actually had covid? How many weren't going to die within months, weeks, days anyway?

On almost every question, the media rounds up towards the scare narrative, while simultaneously ignoring many similar or worse threats that would add context. Most people are walking around with a completely warped sense of reality.

But as Jonathan Haidt would put it, the media (except maybe this I-team) is not playing the truth game, they are playing the politics game.

Who the heck cares if they tested positive. They could have died from getting a cold that moved in the chest and turned into pneumonia. I would love to see a comparison of deaths caused by those vs now. That's the really story

The only way to know the real story is to look at the excess deaths per month in 2020 and compare against past years, but you have to wait probably 6-10 months for that. Plus you have to account for changes in other causes of deaths (more suicides, fewer auto collisions, whatever else). We will never get the real story but that will be the closest thing, because these numbers are swimming in bullshit.
