"It's not the people who vote that count, it's the people who count the votes." It may have been Stalin and it may have been Napoleon. It may have been Boss Tweed. Regardless of the original source, this truism describes government corruption and manipulation to perfection.
Even in the face of a global pandemic and an unprecedented government-ordered economic shutdown, politicians are using their power to corrupt vital needed data regarding the Chinese coronavirus and its deadly toll on Americans.
The latest escapade comes from America's "ground zero" for COVID-19 infections, New York, where the death tally just surpassed 10,000. Or did it?
The New York Post explains how previously unreported deaths are now, suddenly being included in the city's death count, and the reasons deserve scrutiny:
More than 10,000 people have died of coronavirus in New York City, including over 3,700 cases where someone never made it to a hospital, the city’s Health Department announced Tuesday. The Big Apple’s new death toll is 10,367. That figure combines the 6,589 victims who tested positive for the virus plus another 3,778 who were never tested, but whose death certificates list the cause of death as “COVID-19 or an equivalent,” according to city Health Department data from March 11 through April 13.

DeBlasio and Cuomo can’t find the “OFF” switch for the NYC Subway system?
They get MORE OMNEY from the TAXPAYERS when someone has died of the virus and not because they had bad hearts!
Meanwhile, Governor Cuomo was begging for thousands of ventilators a couple weeks ago — but he is now giving ventilators away to other states because he doesn’t need them. While his numbers spike.
It’s all a big scam
Fudging the #s for funds.
Just like General Westmoreland exaggerated the body counts in Nam.
“It may have been Stalin and it may have been Napoleon. It may have been Boss Tweed.”
It is all democrat politicians.
Ventilators don’t help much. Virus itself causes Multi organ failure heart, kidney liver damage.
Or fredo's brother and deblabbio are just incompetent. Never attribute malice to that which stupidity can explain.
Trump was busy on the 13th personally shooting the victims. And putting their corpses into a wood chipper. (/Democrat)
10,000 in a city of 11 million at the height of the day. And what, ANOTHER two weeks of this stupidity? Cannot wait to see what comes out the other side of this MASSIVE delusion.
De Blasio is a communist and communists lie all the time.
They also dumped a ton of cases on the 14th retroactively. Hopefully that’s it with this nonsense. It’s all about $$. More money paid for a COVID Death. Plus, more deaths reported prolong the crisis and hurt the economy and Trump. Democrats and many RINOs are truly despicable human beings.
Nope, now it’s Lies, Damned Lies, and Democrats
But if malice AND stupidity are combined, what a potent force that would be! To get to these numbers, some mingling of the two probably has been in effect for a while now.
Their mamas didn’t raise any dummies. They got busy early and managed that outcome on their own. Just about at the same time they respectively developed the malicious traits.
It would seem they have to show steady improvement.or else people might wandering what the hell are we doing under house arrest for over a month?
But it has to be bad enough so they can drag it out for at least another month possibly two?
Try to get as close to election and or fall (flu season begins again) as possible.
Equivalent? Regular flu? Pneumonia? Asthma?
How many other state are doing this? Wasn't Minnesota? Doesn't this get more money for hospitals?
If you just went by the numbers, ventilators don’t work. 80% on them die. They seem to have no effect at all, or worse they are killing more people. But this is just “anecdotal”. But if it were a clinical trial, they would have stopped using the ventilators weeks ago. There is near zero evidence they help in this case against the virus.
Meanwhile piles of anecdotal evidence about HQC but they continue to restrict its use.
And if the disease was so damn infections, then why aren’t there thousands of health care workers in the ICU? What are they doing to protect themselves? Is it just the gear they use? Or, are they taking anti-virals or HQC or other meds?
Frankly, as far as ventilators go, I hypothesize that when a lung infection is so great it can’t deliver oxygen to the blood, so the heart or other organs will fail. No amount of ventilator pumping will help if the body can’t take up the oxygen.
