Breaking: Trump and Some Top Aides Question Accuracy of US Coronavirus Death Totals

New York state in Mid-April decided to add “presumed” COVID-19 cases to its death toll, which put the state’s total at around 10,000 victims. < Another 3,700 new deaths were added to the revised death count, according to a report from The New York Times.

But New York was not alone.

Michigan also announced in April that they were adding another 65 “presumed” cases to their total coronavirus tally.

In late April the Wolf administration in Pennsylvania was caught adding up to 269 fake deaths to the state totals on Tuesday. Unfortunately for the Democrat governor he got caught. This seems to be happening a lot lately.

On Tuesday New York State dumped another 1,700 nursing home deaths into their state totals.

Experts have pushed inaccurate models and conflicting advice. It’s not a surprise that the American public would question these fickle elites.

On Wednesday Axios reported that President Trump and some of his top aides are questioning the US coronavirus totals.

Via Axios:

President Trump has complained to advisers about the way coronavirus deaths are being calculated, suggesting the real numbers are actually lower — and a number of his senior aides share this view, according to sources with direct knowledge.

Kaleigh McEnany was just asked about this in her presser and denied it.

That’s disappointing.

Fauci and Birx presented Trump with complete FANTASY models he was backed into a corner he is not a doctor, I think Trump had a gut feeling it was a HOAX or done deliberately but what the hell could he do at that point!!

The new ICD code for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is U07.1, and below is how it will appear in formal tabular list format.

U07.1 COVID-19 Excludes: Coronavirus infection, unspecified site (B34.2) Severe acute respiratory syndrome [SARS], unspecified (U04.9)

The WHO has provided a second code, U07.2, for clinical or epidemiological diagnosis of COVID-19 where a laboratory confirmation is inconclusive or not available. Because laboratory test results are not typically reported on death certificates in the U.S., NCHS is not planning to implement U07.2 for mortality statistics.

COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death.

You can’t blame the states for following guidance sourced directly from the CDC.

We don’t have any idea how many people have it and we don’t really know how many are dying from it. Other than that, we know nothing.

Some states have turned the COVID-19 into a money scam.

Fakers and idiots. People who claim they got the virus from their computer because computers can have viruses. And the one woman who killed her husband with fish tank cleaner who’s now under investigation. Real idiots.

Wow, that was a quick walk-back.

It's not a "walk-back" if he never said it in the first place.

I’m disappointed because Trump caved on not winding down the task force.

“Trump and Some Top Aides Question Accuracy of US Coronavirus Death Totals...”

Illinois politicians are lying their asses off about the number of deaths. If they thought it was to their advantage they would be way under reporting them.

“Some states have turned the COVID-19 into a money scam.”

I heard Cuomo is going to try and tax all the medical people from out of state who he begged to come to New York and help out.

Apparently, he isn’t questioning the number of deaths, because today he compared this virus to Pearl Harbor & 9/11.

“Like I posted earlier, a buddy of mine posted on facebook that she has a friend who works in DC and sees the Dems everyday laughing their a@@es off at this virus, are threatening Dem Governors to keep the country closed for as long as possible to destroy the Economy and ruin Trump’s chances of re-election”
Wow you are a truly reliable source of information. From your friend’s Facebook, about another friend, to all of us, the conclusive proof is right there.

“$13,000 per case. $39,000 per case on ventilator”
When was the last time you spent a night in a hospital? It’s about $10,000 a night FYI. People on ventilators are usually there for at least 10 days. Medicare is only reimbursing the hospitals for 10% of their costs.
By the way, what province in China are you from?
