Pennsylvania Nursing Home (LTC) death stats for October 30
Data from PA Department of Health, figures as of midnight October 29-30
LTC deaths = 5800 (increase of 44*)
Total deaths = 8784 (increase of 22)
Cumulative LTC deaths as percentage of total = 66%
A lot of wierd stuff going on:
The daily report is usually issued at 12:00 Noon. This one came very late in the afternoon as the proverbial Friday afternoon f@rt in the elevator....”OMG, cases are over 2000 again and the highest since April!”
(Do you think four Trump rallies scheduled for Saturday might have something to do with that?)
And *once again, the subset of LTC deaths (44) is neatly double that of the total deaths. Mathematically impossible absent some serious book-cooking.
Over the past seven days the alleged LTC death increases have been 3/0/0/4/51/-1/44
Can’t “follow the science” when you can’t really follow the “data”!
Of COURSE “cases” rose by 90k yesterday, the election is only 3 days away.
Must spread the fear, must spread the fear, must spread the fear!!!!
Buried in there somewhere must be the real numbers which exclude pneumonia, flu and morbidity factors other than COVID19.
