The varied definitions and modified PCR cycle count requirement for declaring a case (infection) renders the data unreliable. Especially with a different count for vax vs unvax.
The correct parameter is Excess Deaths. These are deaths of ALL causes. Google Excess Deaths and it will take you to the CDC page. 25ish% more 65+ people in the US died last year than in the typical pre Covid years.
Now, you have to be sophisticated looking at this data. Population increases, so there are going to be more deaths. A raw increase in deaths must be reduced by that factor. A similar increase in 65+ population also takes place and must be tweaked.
Adjustments for those factors are in the graphs. 25% more than typical STILL died last year. The official Covid number is only 20% more than usual 65+ deaths.
This is the data to watch. Not the official attributed death data. All causes data dodges many agendas.
20% is rather a lot. It’s not a trivial event facing your parents and grandparents.
Not just the Ct.
NYS counts repeat positives of the same patient and probables as new cases.
So the case stats are worthless.
My bet is the death stats are crap, too.
But I think Cuomo was actually inflating the death count, not hiding it.
After all, who’d be terrified of a scamdemic that isn’t dropping people like flies...
20% is rather a lot. It’s not a trivial event facing your parents and grandparents.
i.e. could it not be the response, rather than the virus, that increased those numbers?
