The CDC is finally admitting that this is just the flu.
Otherwise they wouldn’t be moving the goalposts.
Yeah, the Dems and the media are twisting themselves into pretzels with all their back-and-forth/yes-no BS. Kinda fun to watch...
Desperately trying to pump up the numbers.
The death number will be worthless in a statistical sense forever more.
But then so will be the census numbers in counting actual US citizens.
Hey CDC here is another one.
Man dies in free fall from 15,000 feet. Probably COVID.
This seems like what they do with their phony “influenza” numbers.
They must have released the story at 3:00 am so they can spend the 23 hours to spin the facts.
Hey, the highly accurate models predicted a huge number of deaths.
Gotta make the numbers validate the genius folks who built the models.
“””The data is so distorted now that it will be useless.”””
The data will only be useless for us unwashed peasants.
The totalitarian bureaucrats will know precisely who actually died of corona virus.
“””How do we explain all of those deaths in New York City?”””
In a city of 10 million people, there are many deaths every day.
Some days ago someone posted that the number of deaths in NYC was not that much different than other years.
That’s the message, folks...the numbers are FAKE. This is all about the election.
Why not just assume certain other groups of people died of:
A particularly cancer
A particular hepatitis
AIDS
or number of diseases that have a variant you can cling to and inflate the numbers.
Man, oh maneschewits.
Isn’t that exactly what the chinese do?
A few friends thought I could do a popup coffee business like Luckin Coffee of China.
I couldn’t figure out the value add. Coffee for $1 to undercut Starbucks is their model.
Well, fine. McDonalds does thaf.
For $1 I can get a McDonald’s coffee and they will even put 5 cream and 2 Splenda in it for me.
Their Value Add? Mcmuffin and hashbrowns to get my day started.
The other claim to fame for Luckin Coffee is they have an App. Yeah, that’s right, they have an App.
You order and pay for your coffee via this App.
I dont see what is so distinguishing about being able to order a cup of coffee via an App, particularly, when everyone has an App that does the same thing, McDonald’s and Starbucks included.
I guess luck ran out on Luckin Coffee as a massive scam was recently revealed. Their largest stock holder pulled every penny out and telling everyone they are a fraud. Guess NASDAQ felt the same and halted trading in their stock and is now investigating not only the o virus fraud at Lucking but, more that 1,000 Chinese companies.
Luckin Coffee: The Luck Runs Out

The implosion of Luckin Coffee (LK) , the Chinese company that admits made-up sales, comes as no surprise.
In this story from May 20 last year, I encouraged investors who had bought the shares in the company’s IPO to sell and collect their gains. I also encouraged anyone else to avoid the stock at all costs.
(I couldn’t figure that either) read that article and you get one (1) sense of the mind of Chinese businessmen.
AND THIS FROM BARRON’S
Luckin Coffee Stock Was Halted Days Ago — and It Still Isn’t Trading
https://www.barrons.com/articles/luckin-coffee-stock-was-halted-51586540408
Last week, Luckin’s board alleged that COO Jian Liu, along with several employees reporting to him, fabricated transactions worth as much as 2.2 billion Chinese yuan ($310 million) from the second quarter to the fourth quarter of 2019. To put that in perspective, Luckin had reported total revenue of 2.9 billion yuan for the first three quarters of 2019. The fourth-quarter numbers weren’t released.
*********?*??????????????
Now read this and you get a broader sense of how pervasive their cheating and double dealing mindset is:
Luckin debacle shakes investor faith in New York’s China listings
The debacle has turned the spotlight back on the accounting risks faced by investors in US-listed Chinese companies, and provided further ammunition for Washington’s China hawks.
“It makes you question the whole system, honestly,” said Andrew Left, founder of US-based short-seller Citron Research. Mr Left is better known for making bets that Chinese companies’ stocks will fall. But in the case of Luckin he held a long position, meaning he made money when the shares rose.
interesting that cnn is honest about this matter
once that rule on counting was posted NYC went back to the beginning and counted all “probable” and “cause unknown” deaths and counted them as caronavirus. That’s the day the new cases jumped 3700.
Exactly. This is totally politically manipulated.
I have been wondering why the CDC figures for death from Kung Flu are much lower than others. Today: CDC deaths=13130, Reuters deaths=39031. They are playing catch up.
All righty, then.... ;-)
They expect people to believe them yet actions like this cause people
to look at them like they've got a third arm growing out of the middle of their forehead.
“In a city of 10 million people, there are many deaths every day.”
I’m not qualified to disagree but is it normal for the city to have bodies stored in semi trucks and buried in mass graves?
I suspect COVID19 death totals include possibly slightly related deaths already.
