I do not know. They might be inflated, or they might not be. This is a very different thing from saying all these people have been tested for Covid 19. It all hinges on the accuracy of the tests involved, and we don't know what that is.
I'm just trying to get people to stop running with a conclusion that isn't necessarily supported by their proclaimed evidence.
You cant have it both ways. Your argument necessarily means the positive numbers are falsely night. And and he positive predictive value is poor.
I have analyzed the primary source data from each stare. When you separate confirmed from presumptive the number of confirmed CoVId deaths is 38,000
The viral pcr tests are in fact specific to CoVId FYI
