Michigan’s COVID-19 death toll is undercounted. So some want to test the dead.

Sad to say, but those people who just died need to be tested, and confirmed they died of coronavirus.

This isn’t such a crazy idea. There were crazy numbers of serious respiratory illnesses this season which tested negative for influenza—before COVID-19 testing was available and accurate.

Some people won’t be satisfied until we have mandatory universal vaccines, complete with injected chips.

And for that, we need to have a crisis first.

We've had almost two month's worth of data and have been performing an untended experiment. It's time to examine the data:

How many U.S. healthcare workers have died as a direct result of contracting Coronavirus?

How many have died from other causes (heart attack, stroke, accident, etc.)?

In other words, words, have the people most heavily exposed to the virus died at a higher rate than 'normal?'

I agree! Also, to say that this is the worst pandemic in 100 years belies a gross ignorance of history. The 1957 - 1958 H2N2 (influenza) pandemic cost 116,000 American lives (in a population half that of the US today - so today’s equivalent of 232,000 American lives) and over 1 million globally (in a world population of approximately 2.9 billion - today’s equivalent of 2.4 million deaths). By 1957-58 standards, coronavirus is quite mild.

I’m not opposed to anyone testing the dead, if that’s what they want.

I am reminded that during the temperance movement in the 1800s, intemperance was listed as a common cause of death. It fit the political agenda. But I will also remind that alcoholism was a real problem in those years and still is.

They mean to say that a death toll of 540 over 3 months is not enough to justify the draconian measures taken by the governor, so they need a bigger number. It is like the election results and they need to find those missing ballots all conveniently marked for the democrat. Are they going to dig up everyone who died since February> What about the ones who were cremated? Then they have to review every file to see if it can be re-categorized. They will find some, but unfortunately for them the death count cannot be inflated enough to cover their asses.

They need to be re-registered as Democrats, too. It’ll be a twofer. Good thinking!

That’s because the feds are paying these broke states a $35,000 bounty for each coronavirus victim. They’ll dig up the whole state for that payoff. Bet it was a Democrat “must-have” in the first rescue bill that the GOP caved on for $2.4 Trillion.

Will they get the $39K payout for each corpse they “discover” that had the ‘rona?

It’ll be like scavenging glass bottles and aluminum cans for the deposits!
