I just shared an interview on Facebook of a Minnesota state senator who is a doctor. The state Dept. of Health sent a document to him stating that those who die from pneumonia and are exposed to a positive covid person, should have cause of death listed as covid. That would be without a positive covid test on the deceased.
It sounds like some BS is going on here with data. I wonder if that is the national pattern as well.
No deaths from pneumonia or influenza caused pneumonia, all just being called covid 19!

Sounds to me as though they want to have sufficient numbers to substantiate their decision to shut down the state/country. If this shutdown continues its going to cause some serious damage to the country. Depending on the impact there are going to be allot of people who question the decision to shut down the country. Politicians are already working on additional spending bills and watch for property tax increases next year.

Smells the same as CWD rhetoric.

From looking at the trend in other countries I though we’d top out at 40-50k deaths?I had one liberal tell me 480,000-500,000 likely. Bernie Sanders said it could hit WW2 numbers... it’s ridiculous how many predictions of 1-2 million.
I guess it’s no over, but unlikely we will exceed 100k.

I'd like to know how many of those people would have been dead in 12 months.

I know of a local death that they listed as Covid that probably wasn't but, the spouse in the house had tested positive so it got packaged into the covid numbers.

No deaths from pneumonia or influenza caused pneumonia, all just being called covid 19! I sat on this for a day hoping someone else would find it first. This has been going on since Italy was running a 10% death rate. More and more people are questioning this. The cat was finally let outta the bag yesterday. We have got to have the courage to start the conversation about how to get back to work. Those at high risk of CV problems need the economy too. We can let the non-vulnerable out and still protect those that need protection. It's time to use the statistics and skip over testing for the disease, and testing for the antibodies. Let's get this show going.
