I wonder how much Trump’s germophobia has been influencing his response to this whole thing? He was very fast to do whatever fraud and scarf told him to do.
Exactly right. Lies, damn lies and statistics.
Someone needed the numbers.
I guess I didn't realize the Democrats copied that from Adolf Hitler.
Good
I hope he questions all the numbers and all the models
We now have lots of testing ability. Trump should declare that no death will be counted as COVID-19 unless there is a name, SS#, and signed statement that a test was done and came back positive, under penalty of perjury.
It is long past that Trump stopped listening to the two dr. dooms! Trump did what he had to do, won the logistical war to treat the virus, but now it is time to free every state and not in stages!
Look you can’t make up dead bodies
but there’s a certain number of people that die every year
something so I would just take the new number of deaths versus the regular number of people that die
and there’s your covid cases!
Virginia to begin double-counting multiple positive coronavirus cases
At a press conference on Friday, State Health Commissioner Norman Oliver gave an example of a single patient being tested four times for COVID-19. "What we're doing now is, we're counting all four tests," Oliver said.
Virginia this week will begin counting multiple positive coronavirus tests in the same patient as new individual cases of the disease, a policy decision likely to significantly drive up reported case numbers in a state that has been relatively spared the worst of the pandemic so far.
Reached via email on Monday morning, Joe Macenka, a spokesman for Virginia's COVID-19 Joint Information Command, confirmed that each positive case of the disease would be counted as a new case altogether.
Macenka said that repeat positive cases "are counted as separate cases only if the tests occur on different days. If [a Virginia resident] tested Monday and Tuesday and both are positive, that's two positives."
That policy may serve to sharply drive up case numbers, which may in turn significantly delay the re-opening of the state. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has stated that the state will begin its first phase of re-opening only when state officials have logged 14 straight days of declining case numbers and hospitalizations. https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/coronavirus/virginia-begin-double-counting-positive-coronavirus-cases#digital-diary
