Exclude the 12,000 non confirmed deaths from 3 states
Number is 48,000
But please keep pimping Inaccurate data
Here we go again with this bullsh*t. People want to use different standards just because it fits what they wish to believe.
Last year's flu statistics say between 30,000 and 60,000 deaths from flu. Did anyone test those bodies? How do we know?
No. You don't f***ing need to test the bodies of people who die during a massive epidemic. The probabilities are quite high that the disease killed them.
The Number is 62,000 in a little over a month, and stop trying to minimize it just because it is what you wish to believe.
This is probably the most accurate count of deaths from a disease this nation has ever seen. We don't test all the bodies that die during past flu epidemics either. We certainly didn't test the bodies in the 1918 flu, or the Typhoid epidemics, or the Polio Epidemics, or the Small pox epidemics.
If abnormal numbers of people died during these epidemics, they were counted as victims of the epidemic, unless it was obvious the death was from some other cause.
This disease causes heart attacks and strokes in people. It is unlike any other virus we have ever seen.
