Deaths from all causes, (latest data was from 4/17 is 582,565), and that is 92% expected.
There are some notable shifts as deaths from pneumonia is actually decreasing while Covid pneumonia deaths are increasing.
Some of that may be to hospitals merging the codes for deaths toward Covid as they get more funding for that. Doc told me that where they had a different code for death by pneumonia they were told to “blur” that into the Covid code-that is how NY “found” over 2,000 new deaths in one day.

My sister told me today that accordibg to the staff of the NJ nursing home my mother lives in, a COVID-19 test she recently took came up positive. The staff is saying she is asymptomatic. But, we don’t have the ability to visit her. Plus, her new status as Covid-19-Positive means that the staff of the nursing home will no longer be supporting or allowing the video chats my sister has been having with her periodically. So, we can’t independently verify her asymptomaticity.
Are we being groomed, the goal being to lull us into a false sense of security, and/or to refrain from demanding that she be put on the HCQ/Zinc/Z-pack regimen? I fear she may be in grave danger, and not solely due to the risk of fatal illness. Nursing homes right now have a perverse financial incentive to ring up large numbers of COVID-19 deaths. Anne Barnhardt just published a posting on this very issue. Had it appeared on the DrudgeReport website of old, it probably would have gotten the “flashing red light” treatment. Barnhardt is stronhly suggesting some very evil people (i.e., people obsessed with radical depopulation and euthanasia) are already taking advantage of this crisis to run rampant. I’m not sure she’s wrong. Considering options...
