Pa. removes 200 deaths from state coronavirus count as questions mount about reporting process, accuracy
Fox News ^ | April 24,2020 | Peter Aitken

Pennsylvania has corrected its coronavirus data multiple times over the past week to account for irregularities, according to new reports.

Earlier this week, Pennsylvania started to include “probable deaths” in its fatalities. As a result, the total number of coronavirus deaths grew by 276, then 360, in successive nights, almost doubling the number of deaths in the state in two days. The Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) subsequently removed 200 deaths from its count after facing mounting questions about the accuracy of the count.

Health Secretary Rachel Levine spoke to the Philadelphia Inquirer about the initial decision to include probable deaths, as well as the decision to later remove those from the count.

“We realize that this category can be confusing, since it does change over time,” Levine said.

“At times, there are things we need to review, and potentially revisit the way the data is being analyzed,” she said. “And this is one of those times.”

Levine clarified that both spikes in numbers due to “probable deaths” included deaths that occurred days, even weeks earlier.

The discrepancy initially came to light weeks ago when coroners reported that their numbers did not match what the DOH reported.

The automatic designation of a COVID-19 kill is fraud and medical malpractice.

They count the CV deaths the same way they count ballots.

I wonder if removing these phantom deaths from the Covid-19 fatality counts was as painful to Health Secretary Rachel Levine as was his (her?) chopadickoffamy procedure.

This HAS to have been happening everywhere Democrats are in control in order to inflate the numbers and frighten people. This is the biggest lie that has ever been perpetrated against the American people. Some folks MUST be brought to justice.

“Probably Deaths”... is that kind of like you’re a ‘probable female’, Dr. Levine?

Of course, it's instinctive to use any and every opportunity they can to destroy the country as founded...

The third-leading cause of death in US most doctors don’t want you to know about
PUBLISHED THU, FEB 22 2018 9:31 AM EST UPDATED WED, FEB 28 2018 9:39 AM EST
Ray Sipherd, special to CNBC.com

A recent Johns Hopkins study claims more than 250,000 people in the U.S. die every year from medical errors. Other reports claim the numbers to be as high as 440,000.

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

My calculator says that’s between 685 and 1096 killed every day.
