New York City's Mayor Bill de Blasio abruptly added 4,000 deaths to the city's roster of Wuhan virus deaths. He did this even though there are no tests proving that these 4,000 people died because of the virus. The mayor claims he made changes to increase statistical accuracy, but he may have been acting upon baser motives.
One problem with getting a handle on the Wuhan virus is that we have no accurate count telling how many people have become sick with or died from it, whether at home or abroad. Different countries use different tests; different tests have various rates of fake results, both positive and negative; and not everyone is or can be tested. Moreover, in different places, people are classified as Wuhan virus deaths if they tested positive for the virus regardless of what killed them.
We know that there may be people who have the virus but don’t know it, people who are sick with something that may or may not be the virus, and people who die from causes that can be attributed to the virus, although without any real certainty. Antibody tests are useful for providing some mathematical probability about the virus’s prevalence in a given population, but the tests also don’t home in on the exact number of people who are or have been ill.
Put another way, virus counts around the world are subject to a lot of guesswork. The inability to get accurate numbers allows different jurisdictions to adjust the numbers depending on their policy goals.
Most people believe that China severely undercounted its Wuhan virus numbers, both when determining how many became sick and how many died. As a communist country, China has an aversion to admitting bad news because doing so is always a reflection on its all-controlling government.

Scam
I’m calling BS on this one. A lot of people found dead were tested after being found at home.
They were either testing positive or not. I really don’t like the gaslighters on either side.
Big Bird is a jagoff but dancing on the graves of Americans by the thousands is unseemly.
Every day in NYC, firefighters and EMS find dead people in their homes in triple figures. I expect this is going to continue.
And I expect gaslighters and jerks will make conclusions about how it’s for money as if a dead person found expired in their home gets someone paid.
Stupid.
So the fact that 10 times more people are dying at home in the middle of this than in a normal year is supposed to just be coincidence, and nothing to do with the virus? Of course it’s the virus.
I would love to see a comparison of the non-virus heart attack and failure deaths over the past 6 weeks with the same period a year ago.
My wild guess is that there would be a drop that is especially amazing given how many people in NYC are going to or getting hospital care in non-virus emergencies right now.
COOKING THE BOOKS to justify continuing to destroy the economy, and to attempt to keep Trump from being re-elected. Despicable.
Leftists will automatically go for it. Intelligent people will wonder why that doesn't reflect poorly more on de Blasio, and then realize, "Oh, it's just grist for the Leftist media mill to pound Trump with".
Wuhan Viris knocked over my bird feeder.
The RATs are staking not only the 2020 campaign but their grab for ultimate control of America through the Wuhan Flu hoax. That should be obvious to everyone now!
These numbers are all over the board. China and Russia are way underreporting their numbers. This is just another example of faulty data gathering. What it really shows is a total lack of science methodology and principles that exists today. That is far more frightening.
Medicare fraud on steroids.
Hospitals sliding all of their indigent cases onto the COVID roles to get paid by the Feds while they still can.
