"Literally NO ONE has any idea how many Americans COVID-19 has killed. All we know is it’s a lot less than what’s been reported."
A Clearer Picture ^ | April 12, 2020 | Michael Thau

Posted on 04/13/2020 2:06:24 PM PDT by Michal T

The COVID-19 death tallies we’re seeing are really DEATH CERTIFICATE tallies and we’ve no reason to trust them. But we’ve every reason to think they’ve got to be significantly exaggerating the real number of people the virus is killing. And there are enough hospital deaths from other causes every day that the directives and financial incentives encouraging false diagnoses only have to cause the virus to appear on a small percentage of ordinarily occurring death certificates to account for most of the deaths currently attributed to COVID-19. In fact, as hard as it may be to fathom, it would be more likely that no one has died of COVID-19 than that the numbers we’re getting don’t significantly over-represent those who have.

So that guy yesterday killed in a car crash on the freeway while on his way to get tested, can’t be counted as a Covid 19 Death???

If your had serious health issues (heart disease, cancer, advanced diabetes), youalready have one foot in the grave and other on banana peel. So covid-19 comes along and gives a nudge, whom would you blame for falling? Of course blame covid-19. Then you can print money like it is going out of style and drop it from a big helicopter.

I had to read that sentence five times before I could figure out what the heck they were trying to say. Haha (Ironic it came from aclearerpicture.net.)

Dr Fauci has said on video “Tell her I love her, we all love her here at NIH”. He is talking about Hillary.

According to the CDC he can. And probably was...

In Italy it was even official that everyone who died in a hospital was ascribed to the CCPV. I figured they were doing that her, too, because Federal money comes to every CCPV death. This virus is going to prove the greatest storm over nothing in history. I still believe that all the government panic stemmed from the Chinese reaction in WuHan. They acted as if they had let loose a real killer on the order of Black Death. That is what convinced me that it was designed to be a weapon of war. I thought it had escaped then read someone who speculated that the best way to launch an attack on the West is to infect your own people and let thousands of them fan out across the world. Whats a a couple of million dead Chinese to the Party?

And we NEVER will. It is the nature of DECEIVERS. Great one Michael T. Thanks.

Where Did You Get That Fact?

We are being inundated every day with computational findings, conclusions, and statistics. In op-eds, policy debates, and public discussions numbers are presented with the finality of a slammed door. In fact we need to know how these findings were reached, so we can evaluate their relevance, their credibility, resolve conflicts when they differ and make better decisions. Even figuring out where a number came from is a challenge, let alone trying to understand how it was determined.

It should be easy to test by trying to falsify his hypothesis. If this conflation and over counting is not material then death certificate totals for all other likely causes akin to CV-19 like pneumonia, COPD, CHF , influenza should be about the same as last year.

Anybody seen that data?

I am not trying to minimize the seriousness of CV—19.

Dear Michael Thau
Your ignorant collection of nonsense is disgusting. 60% of Americans have an underlying condition, and most of these conditions have an annual death rate under 1%.

On an average day in New York City 158 people die, why did 806 people die on April 7th?

Why did 3,710 people die in New York City last week when in an average week only 1,090 people die? Did they bury mannequins from Saks 5th Ave?
What is the death rate from regular flu if you don’t count those with underlying conditions? What is the death rate from cancer if don’t count people who have hypertension or asthma, which in themselves are almost never fatal? If you don’t count deaths with an underlying condition, than the death rate FROM EVERY DISEASE IS MUCH LOWER.
NYC had 2,220 deaths from Influenza and Pneumonia in 2014

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Health/New-York-City-Leading-Causes-of-Death/jb7j-dtam

Another rough estimate for number of deaths in NYC every year,
from Quora - 1 death every 9 minutes, 158 per day, 57,000 per year

I am really tired of idiotic articles from the Daily King of Moronic Covid Articles, who is probably a Chinese agent. Seriously are you even an American or are you just “sowing disinformation to disrupt the election”?

I’ve read elsewhere that the average number of flu and pneumonia deaths has dropped. It seems they have moved over to the COVID-19 column.

They are DWP or DWPP.

Died While Positive. Died While Presumed Positive.

Keep in mind, covid-19 deaths are less than 1% of total deaths every year in US. (2.2 million die every year in US from various causes). So statistically the deviation from other causes will be insignificant.
