As US coronavirus death toll mounts, so does the belief by some that it is exaggerated

There’s a reason why some people believe government officials are exaggerating the number of COVID-19 fatalities.

One problem is the hodgepodge way states tally those numbers, Fox News has found.

Some states count presumed coronavirus deaths along with confirmed cases under Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance issued last month. Other states don’t count those deaths.

Deaths have been classified as a COVID-19 death even after a physician or loved ones reported otherwise. And those who died “with" COVID-19 have been included in the count with those who died “of" COVID-19.

“I think a lot of clinicians are putting that condition (COVID-19) on death certificates when it might not be accurate because they died with coronavirus and not of coronavirus,” Macomb County, Mich., Chief Medical Examiner Daniel Spitz in an interview with the Ann Arbor News last month.

“Are they entirely accurate? No,” Spitz said. “Are people dying of it? Absolutely. Are people dying of other things and coronavirus is maybe getting credit? Yeah, probably.”

The doctor also said he believes there are people who died of COVID-19, but weren't counted. Determining a COVID-19 death is based on each doctor's best clinical impression and that varies, he said.

“There’s no uniformity,” he said.

The debate over whether the COVID-19 death count has been exaggerated has intensified as deaths from the virus continue to rise at a steady and alarming rate.

As of Friday, there were 85,974 deaths due to COVID-19 in the United States, according to Johns Hopkins University data. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was reporting 83,947 COVID-19 deaths on Friday.

Eye-rolling after CNN’s teen panelist Greta Thunberg implores world to ‘listen to the experts’ on Covid-19

Greta Thunberg sparked controversy after telling CNN viewers to follow the guidance of experts as the world combats coronavirus – even as the teen panelist admitted she’s not an authority on the health crisis.

CNN came under fire after announcing that the Swedish teen would participate in a Covid-19 town-hall event hosted by Anderson Cooper and CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr Sanjay Gupta. Critics of the decision to include Thunberg argued that the climate activist was not qualified to speak about the pandemic.

Judging by Thunberg’s remarks during the discussion, it appears she at least partly agrees with her detractors.

“People are starting to realize that we are actually depending on science and that we need to listen to scientists and experts,” the 17-year-old said during the panel discussion.

Her message sparked considerable displeasure on social media.

Conservative commentator Mark Dice jokingly suggested that CNN should interview a 12-year-old who has a lemonade stand about financial relief legislation.

Others chided CNN for becoming an “Onion-type” news organization by allowing Thunberg on the panel.

The Swede also used the occasion to underline how the pandemic was affecting children – claiming that Covid-19 has created a “children’s rights crisis” because the worldwide response has focused too heavily on safeguarding the elderly. In April, she donated a $100,000 prize she won to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), arguing that children may ultimately suffer the most from the social and economic consequences of the pandemic.

Thunberg tweeted before the town hall that she has never claimed to be an expert, stating for the record that she is an “activist” and would use the panel to discuss her campaign supporting UNICEF.

It’s Time to Investigate Journalists for Inside Trading

The Washington Post is hellbent on trying to undermine the US economy solely for politics. The death rate is really less than 1%. I just went to the doctor and they told me personally that this entire virus scare is nonsense. The Washington Post is now trying to highlight that if just one person dies after a lockdown, then Trump needs to be blamed. They are now claiming that “[a]s many parts of the world, including the United States, explore ways to end stay-at-home orders, countries that had already opened up are closing down again after renewed spikes in infections. Lebanon on Tuesday became the latest country to reimpose restrictions after experiencing a surge of infections, almost exactly two weeks after it appeared to contain the spread of the virus and began easing up.”

Back in 2012, the FBI raided a journalist at the Wall Street Journal for insider trading. He was writing articles with the intent of influencing a stock price. That turned into a major probe of using the press to plant stories that were used for insider trading.

The press has hyped this up the coronavirus beyond all reason to just terrify people in hopes of influencing the election as they accused Putin of doing. If Putin influenced the 2016 election, he did it respectfully. This is diabolical and deliberately harming people which violates the manipulating market legislation. The FBI should be launching a probe now into the media which has been supporting this lockdown. Any journalist who also sold out all his stock while writing on this issue NEEDS to be investigated! The press is fulfilling the very same role they did to create the Communist Revolution — a favorite tool of Lenin.

Obama Legacy Unraveling – Worse than Watergate

Richard Nixon had to resign over the famous scandal of the June 17, 1972 failed break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Washington, D.C. Watergate Office Building. After the five perpetrators were arrested, the press and the U.S. Justice Department connected the cash found on them at the time to the Nixon re-election campaign committee. Several major revelations came about with presidential action to try to cover up what took place. It was discovered that Nixon recorded meetings in the Oval Office. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Nixon must release the Oval Office tapes to government investigators. The tapes revealed that Nixon had conspired to cover up activities that took place after the break-in and had attempted to use federal officials to deflect the investigation. Nixon, however, never ordered the break-in.

The Obama Legacy is coming undone. It is looking more and more that President Obama was actually directing U.S. intelligence agencies to spy on Trump. Clearly, like Nixon, Obama at the very least knew what was going on. The likelihood that Vice President Biden also knew everything also remains very high.

Several Republican senators released the names of top Obama administration officials who had put in “unmasking” requests and might have gotten the identity of Michael Flynn, Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser who was captured on tape talking to Russia’s former ambassador before Mr. Trump was sworn in. The list of officials provided by Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell included Mr. Biden, former FBI Director James B. Comey, and ex-intelligence chiefs John Brennan and James Clapper. These are the men who have been most vocal against Trump – it appears that they have been taking that position knowing what they did was illegal to try to deflect blame if they became criminally indicted.

A federal judge is the Flynn case that appears to be acting more like a prosecutor. He has yet to accept the Justice Department dropping the case. The Judge himself in an unprecedented position suggested he might pursue contempt or perjury charges against Flynn. This is showing deep bias in a political case regarding this judge.
