...“There is nothing from the CDC that I can trust,” the Washington Post reported Birx saying.

We now know more about what she was talking about, since Colorado has become the first state to publish two different numbers. One number is derived using a definition mandated by the CDC, which issued guidelines on March 24 specifying that “COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death.” (Emphasis in original.)

The second is a narrower category called “deaths due to COVID-19,” which is limited to people who actually died of the disease. Counting in this way results in a decline of 23 percent in reported COVID-19 deaths. What’s going on here?...

The median nursing-home stay before death is just five months.

Actually, the average stay before death is about 12 months. This is because of the very small number of people who live in a nursing home for many years before dying. If Bill Gates lived in your neighborhood, the average worth of the people living there would be in the millions. The median would be almost identical to the average if you skipped Bill Gates number.

The difference between median and average is the type thing that the propaganda media will use as an excuse to attack the entire premise of a position with which they disagree.
