We will NEVER get the true numbers. Doctors don’t want to lose their jobs. I attended a town hall meeting with our governor and a pastor stood up to say he presided over the funerals of six people whose death certificate said COD was Covid. He said after talking to family members, only one actually did die from Covid. The numbers are cooked.
The numbers are bought
Hospitals get 14k per Covid listed death
More if complications like dialysis
Every year the US has 36,000 flu deaths. More if a hybrid virus is circulating. The last season to have a hybrid variant was 2017-2018 when there were 61,000 flu deaths.
The rough count of Covid deaths has been calculated by subtracting 36,000 from the total number of respiratory virus deaths. That doesn’t provide any certainty about the actual cause of any particular individual’s death.
I talked to a doctor recently and he said he can’t get reliable information.
