From your CDC link:
“It is important to note that it can take several weeks for death records to be submitted to National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), processed, coded, and tabulated. Therefore, the data shown on this page may be incomplete, and will likely not include all deaths that occurred during a given time period, especially for the more recent time periods. Death counts for earlier weeks are continually revised and may increase or decrease as new and updated death certificate data are received from the states by NCHS. COVID-19 death counts shown here may differ from other published sources, as data currently are lagged by an average of 1–2 weeks.”
O.K. But then were does the 69,492 number come from?
This has been the biggest farce ever hoisted on the American people, what really makes me pissed off is that it was so damned easy, even people on this site were lapping up every damn word the media were spoon feeding them!! When people on this site start buying into the media hysteria and propaganda this country is in BIG trouble!!
It comes from thin air that’s where it comes from!!
“Start with real websites.
Go to cdc.gov. I was just there and their number is 69,000.
There are too many numbers posted that are fiction. “
Really? Because I, unlike you, really was just there. And when you click through their covid links, it takes you to this page;
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/COVID19/
Which says 38,576 covid-19 deaths to date. See how easy that was!? See how, in the link I posted, it has cdc.gov in the URL? So it IS from the CDC website.
Now do yours. You know, with the 69,000 deaths you claim is there. Go on. Post the link. It’s easy. We’ll wait.
Or are you a bald faced liar?
“There are too many numbers posted that are fiction. “
You are right about that, but it is YOU posting fiction.
“The 38,576 figure on that site is the number of death certificates they have processed. It says so right on their site.”
People who sign death certificates tend to have integrity, and take it very serious. They won’t fudge the story, like hospital administrators do, for more $$$. So death certificates are much more reliable than CMS codes entered into a computer for records and billing.
I'm not sure what else is floating around, but this is what I just saw, and I'm done with this chase.
I posted 69,000 instead of 67,000 and that was an error, but it's no where near 38,000.
Listen, I'm a flubro, so get off my back, I'm just showing the numbers, not saying they are accurate or real deaths due to chi-com virus.
OK, sorry man!
It looks like the lower figure on the CDC site is based on information from death certificates (which they explain can lag for a week or two). The larger number seems to come from “state and territorial health departments.” That seems to explain the difference in the figures. What it doesn’t explain is why there’s such a difference between what’s being reported on death certificates and what the various state health departments are reporting.
