I've been asking this question and no one has had a good answer.

If it takes the CDC 90-120 days to collect, tabulate and publish total US flu deaths from the previous year, how can the total daily Covid deaths be so accurately reported?

It isn't possible; perhaps weekly deaths can be tabulated and reported, but each National total daily deaths?

“Cases” to me means someone with sufficient symptoms to be in the hospital where it gets reported. Check your state to see how many hospitals beds are normally available, then check how many COVID deaths there were in the last 6 months or so. You’ll immediately see impossible stats.

In Colorado cases went up fast and hard, and the percentage of hospital beds occupied by CV19 patients went from 3% to 22%. Cases are now declining and CV19 patients occupy 17% of the beds.

Deaths are up a lot but starting to decline as would be expected. The peak in daily cases was 34 days ago.

Daily death numbers are not accurate. They can be watched for trends over time. In Colorado we are at least sort of told about it:

Colorado daily case number for today: 3,145
Cases “added from a previous date”: 575
Total daily cases 3,720

Total reported in Colorado by Worldometer: 3,698

No, it’s not accurate.

CASES ARE ACTUALLY THE BEST INDICATION OF HERD IMMUNITY

Pass it on.
