Washington epidemiologists have admitted that multiple victims of gunshot wounds who had also been diagnosed with coronavirus have been counted as COVID-19 deaths, although they say deaths from the virus are still likely being undercounted in the state.
Epidemiologists with the Washington State Department of Health said that the "number of nuances" in coronavirus data makes it difficult to render a quick assessment in the cause of death. The state is currently counting anyone that dies with COVID-19 in its death toll.
"We currently do have some deaths that are being reported that are clearly from other causes. We have about 5 deaths less than 5 deaths that we know of that are related to obvious other causes. In this case, they are from gunshot wounds," said Dr. Katie Hutchison, Health Statistics Manager for the Washington State Department of Health.
The state is currently reviewing between 20 and 30 similar cases to understand what role — if any — coronavirus played in the deaths, Hutchison said, adding the process will take between six and 12 months
"We suspect that we are actually more likely to be undercounting deaths than overcounting them," Hutchison said.
Hutchison said there can be a variation in the accuracy of any data.
"This is a case where we have a commitment to putting out the best and most current data that we have. And with any process that [involves] data particularly, as you're bringing it in in a rapid manner, there is a variation in the accuracy of it. In general, particularly with the information that we have for deaths, there is a very small variance," she said. "And that variance decreases as time goes on and we get more information added into you know our stockpile of information that we have and we're able to clarify and clean the information."
🔦 Washington is currently reporting a little more than 1,000 deaths.

Did the projectiles pass through the air? If so then they may have contacted a CV19 particle so.............
The more I read about these kind of events makes me wonder if we’ve been played.
btt
Ya think?
I wouldn’t doubt that Blue States are instructing their Coroners to injecting folks with the virus when doing a final exam!
“Well, Looky There! Coronoa in this otherwise healthy liver!”
That’s just how ridiculously EVIL this whole PlanDemic is turning out to be!
*SPIT*
(This whole thing is making me sound like a nut!)
I think it was after the first two week pause (or whatever they were calling it back then) was extended for another two weeks.
Wow. I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition.
I don’t wonder.
“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Kanadahar, or at least that region East of Saskatchewan and the Lower Mainland of BC, should be ashamed for their actions on October 21, 2019.
Breaking: Marion Crane, who stayed at Bates Motel dies of Corona virus.
Sorry, but if they aren’t going to even try to count properly why would I believe any of them?
Close enough. They are dead, after all.
You mean politicians and the Deep State overlords lied and set us up to ruin our great economy? I am shocked like Claude Rains in Casablanca . Shocked.
Maybe this is like a deathbed conversion type of thing. Just as the bullet is about to hit the victim, the Covid virus kills them. "He was already dead when the bullet pierced him"--police officer.
By the way I mean the CHINA VIRUS which is from Wuhan, China. While I am still allowed to say the truth.
The more I read about these kind of events makes me wonder if we’ve been played.
+++++
1000 deaths. 5 from gunshot wounds.
They should have reported 995 deaths.
And discussion of the possibility of undercounting deaths (dying at home, never diagnosed) is considered near blasphemy here at good old FR.
Of course we could just accept the data, analyze it and see what we see. The absolute numbers tell you less than the trends.
Watch the trends. They are favorable now, slowing declining infection and death rates. Could be seasonal. Could be social distancing. Could be both.
But in any case it is trends that count.
My brother-in-law was on hospice care for a cancerous inoperable brain tumor; no tests were done on his body... he was “presumptive Covid-19” by CDC guidelines here in Washington State. And does anyone believe that Flu deaths which were humming along pretty well from November to February really dropped to zero when the coronavirus came along? Coronavirus must be the most effective cure for the flu ever!
Nut that I am, here we are several months into this “global pandemic” and I have yet to know anyone who has been afflicted - or know anyone who knows of anyone afflicted.
We’ve been had.
We have.
It gets some mad when I say it but it’s just the truth...I live in ground zero, NYC and even with my HUGE family..41 first cousins and including my friends, I know of NO ONE that has it or even KNOWS anyone that has it.
That’s at least 400 or 500 people.
Perhaps a number of us have had it but it is so weak we had no symptoms.
Not exactly the making of a country ending pandemic.
Should have warned the elderly and sick and protected them...i’m not smart enough to know if the 3 weeks (turning into months in some places) helped.
Forget it Jake, they’re Progtard DildoCrats.
They are incapable of telling the truth and unable to perceive reality.
Good thing we found out about that one measly incident where the caring government tools, I mean, workers made an innocent mistake.
