Yes, and it reeks of artificially inflating the numbers. The initial model estimate was so far off as to be deemed pure propaganda in my opinion. They are now trying to classify everything as COVID-19 in order to lessen the narrative that their virus scare was a scam.
Yes, the virus is real, yes, it's bad. But I don't think it was nearly bad enough to shut down the world's economy. And the people that created this model need to be drawn and quartered, their pieces spread to all corners of the world (yes, I know it's round).
Dr. Birx has not hidden the fact that U.S. counting of deaths is on the high side because, as she explained, “If someone checks into a hospital with respiratory symptoms, checks positive for COVID-19, and then DIES, they are counted as a COVID-19 death.” (quoting from memory)
My guesstimate of 40,000 - 80,000 deaths DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT the reduction in flu or pneumonia deaths, or the fact that there were multiple causes on many of these deaths.
I suspect death counts by “Cause of death” are always muddled when their are multiple “Natural causes.”
Agreed. Now Birx/FauXi are trying to cover themselves with their insane earlier estimates and “modelling”.
