Carl DeMaio calls for audit of COVID-19 data; only 36 flu cases reported (San Diego)
Posted: December 9, 2020 KUSI Newsroom

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – COVID-19 cases continue to increase across California, and here in San Diego County, but flu cases remain extremely low in comparison to this time in previous years.

We are well into flu season, but San Diego County’s data for flu infections only shows 36 reported cases so far this year. Carl DeMaio tweeted out this shocking revelation, comparing it to this time in other years saying, “In a typical year we get over 17,073 on average!”

DeMaio explained, “if you are going to use a set of numbers like COVID stats to shut down the economy, to take people’s livelihoods away, then we have to really look closely at what those numbers really mean, and whether those numbers are giving us the right picture.” Continuing, “my concern has been from the get go, that we are relying on numbers from government agencies, that may have a different agenda at stake. We would benefit from having a different set of eyes looking at them, such as an auditor or a citizens review committee. Because again, the decisions being made on these data sets are sweeping, the lockdowns are far reaching in terms of their impact.”

DeMaio then said San Diego County has refused to have any look over or vet our local COVID-19 numbers.

Chairman of Reform California, Carl DeMaio, joined KUSI’s Jason Austell on Good Morning San Diego to explain why he is calling for a “full audit of the COVID-19 data we are seeing reported from our public health system.”

ANY hospital can be induced to put people in ICU ... for ANYTHING .... especially if they're already practiced in the art of deception ... stubbed toe, infected, sepsis, death .... COVID

Every number ever published always tells me how many totals since 1955 ... but what happened yesterday in East Bumphuque ?

It is postulated that the total number of deaths in the US from ALL causes this year will be much the same as the total number of deaths from ALL causes in previous years.

Do you know that numbers are grossly inflated?
Now anyone with a fever is counted as covid positive even though their covid tests are NEGATIVE?
You could have a urinary tract infection, an abscesses tooth, influenza or a boil on your butt and you must be counted as covid positive even though you DO NOT HAVE COVID.
