Beating up the numbers: The loose definition and inflated tally of COVID-19 deaths

How a man who drank himself to death shamed a state health department into more transparent record keeping — and what it could mean for nationwide coronavirus mortality statistics.

JustTheNews: You may have seen the memes, such as “Man killed by shark dies of COVID-19.” Or the one with a guy hanging out of his windshield after a terrible accident and a reporter shoving a mike into his face asking, “Sir, can you tell us how you got COVID-19?” 

Yet the darkly satirical memes are closer to reality than you might think. Indeed, one such event has shamed a state health department into more transparent public record-keeping — as well as helping to show how much coronavirus deaths have been exaggerated. more

  1. I made the mistake of telling a (libtard) neighbor that both sides were manipulating the numbers and hoped someday we could get clean data to look at.

    That evening the wife pointed out our dear neighbor posted about the “Covid Denier” she’s talked with that day and how similar the experience was to talking to a Holocaust denier (she is Jewish).

    The left will not be denied their mantle of victimhood, and I will never say more than “how’s the family” to her again. Definitely her loss.

  2. Oh, by the way, why in the hell do we need to be notified every damn time someone is diagnosed with the Chi Com Grunge??? They have a 99.8% chance of surviving! Big Whoooop!

  3. The local news led tonight’s broadcast with the latest COVID-19 death tally. I checked TDOT to find the YTD highway death tally. It’s down over 5% from last year, but still 40 deaths more than from COVID-19.

    But no one is talking about closing the roads until we are fatality-free for 14 days, are they.
