Texas Downgrades COVID Death Toll After Error Wrongly Attributes Hundreds Of Deaths To COVID
iowtreport.com ^ | August 1, 2020 | Staff

Posted on 08/01/2020 9:17:58 PM PDT by CheshireTheCat

On Thursday, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) acknowledged that an automated error had mistakenly attributed hundreds of deaths to the China-originated novel coronavirus that were not directly linked to the virus, adding that the department has revised the death count accordingly.

“DSHS corrects COVID-19 fatality counts for the week of July 27,” the department announced in a tweet Thursday. “An automation error caused 225 fatalities to be included even though COVID-19 was not listed as a direct cause of death on the death certificate.”

The virus is serious, but the numbers are politicized so who knows what they actually are.

'Errors my ass' -> agreed.

It's like page 26 corrections in the NYT ... they happen to all be 'mistakes' in favor of the left, and the 'corrections' are quietly issued allowing the damage to have been done and never in fact cleaned up in the public's minds which is the only place it matters.

The Texas death count has been inflated all week. Every day there are a few hundred “unassigned” deaths.

This past week of July 27, Texas has had 1575 covid dead.

That is post revision.

When you have doubts about death attribution, spend some time on the Excess Deaths page. It’s laid out there.

Heck, what’s the difference? They’re dead anyway. Got to die from something. Motorcycle wreck? Covid-19? Who cares? I’m with the hospitals on this. Might as well get all the money you can while you can. Could even hurt Trump...go for it. Integrity is so yesterday. New reality is screw whoever you can, especially Trump, and you know the media is never gonna report it.

I now know 3 people who have died form C-19 within the past 3 weeks. All had serious underlying issues.

Worldometer shows Texas having a record death toll of 322 on July 30th. Today, July 1st, it has 295 deaths, a decline of 27.

We know eight folks that have had it. All have survived but a couple of em were in pretty bad shape for awhile and almost died. Without a doubt, it’s a nasty virus. Wouldn’t have expected anything less from Fauxi and his CCP buddies.
And IF the truth be known, the whole darn lib/DS/DNC have probably been on HCQ since a week before their planned/collued release date.

Nobody has to die of this virus if they take hydrocholoroquine and zinc. Its overwhelming now how many people have been saved by taking it before or after infection. This drug works 100 percent when taken before you are infected. The effectiveness varies on those who take it after infection. Especially those who are immune compromised.

Interestingly—my county in CA—Contra Costa—admitted to a recent “error”—they claimed 482 new cases in a single day when the real number was 78 or something.

What is up with these “errors?”

Oh, but the news will only report on “Stage 2” infections.

They conveniently leave outb”Stage 1” and prophylactic effectiveness
