LIE that 70,000 people died FROM this virus....they might have died WITH this virus, but not FROM it!
Nine people have died from it and two of them were Pepe the frog.
Looking at the CDC site you linked to, it looks like they have 38,576 COVID-19 deaths, while over to the right they have another 17,122 people listed as “Deaths with Pneumonia and COVID-19”. Maybe they’re separating the two and worldometers is lumping all of them together?
Death is just another code. There are primary, secondary and tertiary codes. When an obese diabetic has a bad heart and can’t breath do you make the last straw (covid-19) the cause of death? Or the life of bad lifestyle choices?
Typical leftist and panic peddlers playing with the numbers. 2,000,000 are going to die in the U.S. Oh wait, 1,000,000 are going to die...No, uh, make that 200,000 are going to die...Make that 100,000.....Er...that’s 70,000.
What an epic farce.
Sounds to me like the CDC knows the number of Covid-19 deaths reported are being inflated, and thusly have adjusted them downward. That means you would not find any previous CDC reporting with higher numbers. Because they have been doing the adjustment all along.
Wikipedia shows 61,704 as of 5/3/20. I have noticed that the Wiki data is always less than what I hear reported.
AFAIK, the Wikipedia report is just a summary total of what is being reported at the state level. You can dig down and get the state data and at least in some cases you can find the county level info.
I like Wikipedia for this because they show all the day by day data they have for infections and deaths back to late February.
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.
The 38,576 figure on that site is the number of death certificates they have processed. It says so right on their site.
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.”
