Does all this data really mean anything. Do you trust all the people behind the numbers?

I do not trust the PA data as it comes from an agency headed by a self-mutilated she/he/it.

PA has one of the highest percentages of LTC deaths vs. total deaths in the nation—definitely within the NE-US.

I post the numbers, such as they are, every day to expose this gericide.

Gentle pressure, relentlessly applied!

I trust no data reported by the media. I understand that the data reported by health departments and the CDC is all preliminary and subject to revision as corrections become available, but it's the best data we have. We should focus less on the precise numbers (which are impossible to completely establish due to fog of war, government worker incompetence, etc.) and focus more on the policies and decisions from state and local governments that contribute to unnecessary deaths. Policies like forcing nursing homes to accept known-infected COVID-19 patients. The complete failure of state and local governments to provide direct, concrete assistance and guidance to caregivers for the elderly to help ensure their protection. How failed policies like shutdowns/lockdowns merely inspired panic among the population and drove masses of people into Costco and Walmart where COVID-19 spread like wildfire.

Focus on the WHY. The exact numbers will take years to establish and even then it will be estimates with some amount of uncertainty. Whether we're at 240,000 or 280,000 or 220,000 deaths isn't important. What's important is that we could be at half that number if the governors weren't completely incompetent in their responses and if the policies implemented didn't run precisely counter to all known good science on how COVID-19 spreads and how to control it.
