The ONLY figures I even care about are the death figures.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

They are worthless unless they break down ALL the deaths and quit counting ‘may have had symptoms’ (THEY do tend to go to the extreme to be ‘safe’)

Like it has been said may be linked to beerflu is NOT the same as due to the beerflu.

And definitely have to really search for the data of how many die on a ‘normal’ day.

Have to use common sense and

For NYC (About 1/3 of the national deaths), the margins are so large that none of that makes a real difference when assessing the severity.

There are normally about 150 +/-10 deaths per day in NYC from all causes combined. Since last Monday they are averaging about 420/day attributed to COVID-19 - so even if *all* of the normal deaths were misapplied and you “corrected” by shifting 150 deaths per day out of the COVID category, you’d still have a nearly 200% increase in deaths.

The CV fatality statistics are now so corrupted that they can no longer be used for measurement purposes.

I - along with a few others - have been tracking various CV sources and reports for weeks now. Last week news started surfacing about the extent of CV miss-classification (in order to receive federal medical reimbursements).

It is now obvious from the reporting sources that this is what is occurring. There are now large statistical anomalies and trend reversals - far outside any prior patterns, especially matched against prior control groups.

So, forget CV mortality rates or infection rates ("cases"). The fog of war has indeed completely obscured the battleground. As of now, we have to go on intuition, and trust that Trump has good instincts.
