A massive 300 percent hike in nationwide COVID-19 deaths recorded Friday by Johns Hopkins University was skewed by states dumping data – that in one case dated back as far as last spring, according to a report.
The university, which has been a trusted source of coronavirus information since the start of the pandemic, reported that US deaths surged from 321 on Thursday to 891 on Friday, as the Delta variant quickly spreads throughout much of the country.
Florida was responsible for a huge chunk of the increase, with 409 of Friday’s death toll coming from that state, according to The Daily Mail. However, Florida only releases weekly data on Friday, making the day-to-day totals reported by the university unclear and overblown, the outlet said.
Figures released by Delaware also added to the surging daily increase, as that state announced 130 new deaths Friday, the tabloid reported. The dramatic figure was misleading because those deaths actually occurred between mid-May 2020 and late last month, and were added after The First State reviewed death certificates, according to the article.
Data from Michigan, which only releases statistics biweekly, also reportedly added to the distorted total.
The true day-to-day increase of nationwide COVID-19 deaths was actually only 2.5 percent, according to the outlet.

Scientists should make a lot of errors on data.
They lose data, they skew data, miss interpret data…
What? If it’s from Hopkins, it’s gotta be true even if it’s not.
About as competent as the programmers at Twitter who incessantly de-platform users in error ... any other company would fire the fools.
Covid. Climate Change. Global Warming. Systemic Racism.
Synthetic racism.
And to think that we have a group in here who use these numbers to further the effort for vaccinations. Prototypical conservative behavior huh? Lol
So a large percentage of the “newly added” covid cases are not even the Delta variant since that did not emerge until Feb 21 and some of the “newly added” cases are from May 2020. Wow, just incredible. Can you even count on the DATA to be fresh and real?
No level of our government or institutions can be trusted.
more lies, which were used to beat up on Florida/DeSantis. am sure the Florida “cases” figure was fabricated as well.
in Australia, way back, the country was about to declare it was over covid. conveniently, there was an “outbreak” in the State of Victoria. over 80% of the deaths were in aged care facilities. these deaths make up the bulk of Australia’s 915 or so deaths to date.
the lefty “academic” website - The Conversation - which, in Australia, bans skeptics of the manmade globull warming hypothesis - had an interesting take on the Victorian death toll, which was totally ignored by the FakeNewsMSM:
9 Sept 2020: The Conversation: ‘Died from’ or ‘died with’ COVID-19? We need a transparent approach to counting coronavirus deaths
by Marc Trabsky, Senior Lecturer, La Trobe Law School and Director, Centre for Health, Law and Society, La Trobe University
and Courtney Hempton, Associate Research Fellow, Deakin University
For example, on August 31 Victoria recorded only eight COVID-19 deaths from the previous 24 hours, but also added 33 historical deaths to the toll. According to the state’s Chief Health Officer ***Brett Sutton, this backlog was due to changes in how aged care providers reported COVID-19 deaths, and differences in reporting methods between the state and federal governments.
On September 4 there were six deaths recorded over the previous 24-hours, but a further 53 historical deaths were added to the daily toll, 50 of which were related to aged care.
There is a lack of transparency about why there is a discrepancy between how Victoria and the Commonwealth count COVID-19 deaths...
Delays may have been caused by aged care providers struggling to verify not only residents who died from COVID-19, but also those suspected to have died with the virus.
The Victorian and Commonwealth governments are reportedly working to reconcile how COVID-19 deaths are counted and reported. But it may be months or years before detailed death data can be analysed...
for the record, ***Brett Sutton’s sister-in-law, Jane Halton, was a major participant in Event 201 & Sutton is a gloBULL warming zealot:

enough said.
Repeating. The U.S. government is illegitimate and corrupt.
They will lie even if the truth would serve them better. Their father demands it.
crap article...they use numbers when describing the error, but use a percentage for the actual count ?
Once things like “COVID” or “Climate Change” become an industry, with people heavily-invested, both financially and politically, on either side of the issue, you know you won’t find “truth” anywhere.
