I wonder...
Of the 49,412 new cases, how many were false positives?
I wonder...
Of the 1,283 new deaths, how many died FROM the virus and how many died WITH the virus?
If I have the virus and die from a heart attack, is that counted as a virus death?
No it is not. You can verify that if you check the 2020 death stats for heart attacks. (here) Stats show that deaths from heart attacks were up slightly in 2020 over 2019. Not down, as they would be if deaths were being recategorized. Cancer and other causes are the same. So the normal deaths happened, and about 500,000 on top of that in 2020. That's a 17% jump over 2019. Normal year over year increases are 0.3% - 0.7%. Not 17%.
Like President Trump said.
I also believe they are rigging numbers.
If a clot from the virus or hypoxia due to the virus caused the heart attack then yes it is a death for the virus
