CDC Numbers Don’t Make Sense
How else do you read this? Second column could be one of three? Am I reading this wrong?
So we shut down the country for under 12K deaths with an unknown percentage that the CDC and media account for?
Question everything!

As former ICU RN…this made no sense day one.
Here’s the link to the CDC reporting:

and at the bottom they make an excuse:
Why these numbers are different
Provisional death counts may not match counts from other sources, such as media reports or numbers from county health departments. Our counts often track 1–2 weeks behind other data for a number of reasons: Death certificates take time to be completed. There are many steps involved in completing and submitting a death certificate. Waiting for test results can create additional delays. States report at different rates. Currently, 63% of all U.S. deaths are reported within 10 days of the date of death, but there is significant variation among jurisdictions. It takes extra time to code COVID-19 deaths. While 80% of deaths are electronically processed and coded by NCHS within minutes, most deaths from COVID-19 must be coded manually, which takes an average of 7 days. Other reporting systems use different definitions or methods for counting deaths.
Unfortunately it makes perfect sense, when one sees it for what it is. It’s a psychological operation and it worked. There is now more pushback than expected so the outcome is yet to be determined.
Never forget that CDC is a very politically driven organization – gotta keep the big bucks flowing after all.
One example of their deviousness – they had data for nearly two decades showing that defensive gun use was far more prevalent than the anti-gun crowd claimed – it didn’t happen often enough to talk about according to them. That data finally got out and totally shot down (pun intended) the antis claim. One has to wonder WHY that data was suppressed – and who suppressed it. The same thing is likely going on with any/all stats regarding C19.
And when the test results come back from the presumed Covid cases and it shows no Covid I wonder if they will change the code to pneumonia or other cause?
State of MN Dept of Health says the number of deaths actually caused by Winnie The Flu is 3/4 of 1% of the total claimed by the CDC.
This was a scam from the start.
such BS !
a depression over .02 percent of those that were actual corona virus victims !
Notice that footnotes 1 & 2 both say that the stats are the deaths of patients “with” the disease, not “from” the disease…. in addition to some included that are “presumed” and not confirmed.
So the actual deaths “caused” by Covid-19 are probably much lower still.
