Fox News, and other cable networks, run a COVID death count ticker on the side or bottom of the television screen just as they show the major stock indices during the business day. Why are they so obsessed with deaths from the Chinese virus?
Most peoples’ moods are already melancholic over the unending economic shutdown, along with social distancing, masks, and restrictions on movement and assembly not normally seen in free societies. Why don’t news networks show a tally of recovered patients rather than deaths?
Aside from the morbid, “If it bleeds, it leads” mantra that guides much news reporting, the media wants to pin each death on the tail of President Trump. Twitter has a #TrumpDeathCount hashtag to blame every single death on the president, the more the merrier. This is ahead of the fall presidential campaign where Democrats will attempt to blame the entire Wuhan virus mess on Trump, from the economic devastation to the total number of deaths.
If more deaths are better for the Democrat and media narrative, expect to see inflated death counts, erroneously blaming non-virus deaths on the virus. The left is practiced at this since every type of extreme weather, from rain to snow, heat to cold, hurricanes to tornadoes, is blamed on global warming or climate change, depending on which term fits the weather in question.

Destroy the economy to get rid of Trump and all for their hunger for power.
Here’s what I want to know: how many states have added or continue to add positive antibody tests to the current case count.
You know the stats are juiced when the busy bees come out to defend them...
Cuomo is the chief cooker.
Covid is political, it is the “civil war” the alt right has been discussing the past few years. Yes, it’s probably a deadly form of the flu, but...come on. I can’t believe what is happening in the country. I’m not that old, but it’s got to be a lot like the early Nazi Germany. State controlled media, sheep and their masks, people telling on each other, closing businesses, pograms to “inform” on those who don’t conform, mandatory testing. All weekend long I watched the news use overkill on the Lake of the Ozarks story...who cares. The left will continue to scream “covid” while the entire economy tanks. This scares the dikens out of me. 100,000 deaths (cooked books) today, the media will go into absolute fear mongering mode. What can normal people like me do.
And then there are others saying we are under-reporting the COVID-19 deaths. We’ll be fighting this argument for years, at least through 2024 should Trump win reelection.
not to mention cases!
21 May: UK Telegraph: Tens of thousands of coronavirus tests have been double-counted, officials admit
Two samples taken from the same patient are being recorded as two separate tests in the Government’s official figures
By Mason Boycott-Owen and Paul Nuki
Tens of thousands of Covid-19 tests have been double-counted in the Government’s official tally, public health officials have admitted.
Diagnostic tests which involve taking saliva and nasal samples from the same patient are being counted as two tests, not one.
The Department of Health and Social Care and Public Health England each confirmed the double-counting.
This inflates the daily reported diagnostic test numbers by over 20 per cent, with that proportion being much higher earlier on in the crisis before home test kits were added to the daily totals.
Almost 350,000 more tests have been reported in Government data than people tested since the start of the pandemic...
It is not the first time the Government has been caught massaging the testing data. It was accused last month of including thousands of home tests which had been posted but not completed in a bid to reach its target of 100,000 tests...
Global health experts said the Government should stop fixating on its arbitrary targets and instead focus on making testing work to drive down Covid-19 infections in the UK...

experts or idiots?
Experts at manipulation, for sure.
MSM SATURATED the airwaves, news print ever OD’S BY DOPE the same way, to DRIVE IDIOT LEGISLATORS TO PASS DUMB LAWS, BASED ON LIES. Then they made pain meds the equal of DOPE and dropped the words Pain and DOPE for Opioid addiction.
Then the CON ARTIST LIARS at the CDC put out Fake numbers. MSM and legislators ran with it, no checking of facts, or even knowing the meaning of the terms for pain. Acute: sudden smashed your thumb with your hammer, go put a ice pack on it. Labor gone when the baby is borne. Chronic: that pain after a severe injury or mild Osteoarthritis. INTRACTABLE PAIN, LEVEL 10-—24/7/365 FOR DECADES. Many have had 20+ surgeries looking for relief. It is a Subset of Chronic. There is the other wrong word.
Green non political President is shown babies born addicted, and crying parents because their Idiot kids decided to up the MMJ or other HS DOPE they were using to the big time stuff, to stupid to know it had been LACED with Chinese Synthetic Fenatayl which caused OD’s and death. What was not included was our Veterans suffering life altering wounds, the ones with Cancer, BOOM 1 day with out warning TOTAL WITH DRAWL FROM THEIR PAIN MEDICATION. HEART ATTACKS, STROKES, SUICIDES SKY ROCKET. When they got to the civilians 3 months later, what happened with the Veterans fresh in mind, CDC decided to go ‘slower’ but their slow was still to fast.
Then came the Snake Oil. And Trump is being blamed, when the whole thing had been set up under OBAMACARE, PAIN PILLS instead of surgeries.
This epidemic was politicized even before it entered into our consciousness. It has been a "get Trump" ploy from the start.
Re: Cooking The Books
The COVID fatality counting method described by the author is official CDC policy.
Here is the incriminating CDC memo...
Here is a summary of that memo:
(1) “Presumed” (untested) COVID deaths must be recorded with the same medical code as “Confirmed” (tested) COVID deaths.
(2) Whenever COVID infection is confirmed or presumed, a death certificate must be filled out with a certain procedure that almost guarantees that COVID is the underlying cause of death 100% of the time.
Bottom Line...
Several people at Free Republic, including me, have been asking the following question for the last month:
Has any COVID infected person who has died NOT been classified as a COVID fatality?
If that has happened, I have not read about it.
I think they are cooking the books not just to blame the deaths on Trump, they are doing this. They are also cooking the books to make the CCP virus look more deadly to justify shutting down the economy and then blame the bad economy on Trump. It all seems to be an orchestrated crisis. The 6666 bill for contact tracing (and other things) allows democRATs to target their enemies. All very dastardly if you ask me.
The mistake on Trumps part was paying extra for the chinese virus diagnosis. Now everyone tests positive, extra money for those dying from anything including being shot.
Take that incentive away.
