RE: Of course they’re dying at home — that’s where everyone has been ordered to stay. Where else can they die?
Question: WHAT DID THEY DIE OF?
That is the relevant question as it involves Covid-19 numbers.
Also, how many people died at home in 2019 and 2018 before the pandemic? Have we made a determination of that?
See here:
https://www.statnews.com/2019/12/11/more-americans-die-at-home/
The graph in the above site tell us that since 2003, 20% to 30% of deaths in America are AT HOME. This percentage has been increasing since 2003 !!
“No Ticki ? - NO-Laundry. - You go now!”
This was written December 2019:
https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/11/health/dying-at-home-hospital-study-wellness/index.html
They found that hospital deaths are still common, but that number is declining. There were 905,874 hospital deaths in 2003 — 39.7% of deaths — and by 2017 there were 764,424 hospital deaths, 29.8% of deaths.
The number of deaths at home, though, increased from 543,874 (23.8%) in 2003 to 788,757 (30.7%) in 2017.
This begs the question — given that there were a huge number of people dying at home already, why should the fact that there are many dying at home today be “news”?
The relevant question is this -— how many of those dying at hoe for the past month died as a result of Covid-19?
The article never answered that question.
Speaking as a statistics professional, this is the right move.
it is fraud....however, they have used these same liberties before, especially during the swine flu epidemic...
So, it is right to assume all deaths as CoVid-19 related? Can you explain to us why?
They could simply add digits manually, and not bother with the rest of the process.
Can you remind yourself that this addition of digits to the death number was not a mathematical decision but a political one?
You see, the problem with lying—this qualifies all of communism and progressivism—is that it’s stupid.
