You do know they have been fudging the covid death count don’t you?
I’ve seen reports of fudging in both directions.
I’ve also seen a graph that showed that the amount of deaths that have occurred are higher than is account for by COVID.
I’ve seen anecdotal stories of people not counted because they died at home without ever getting a test.
I don’t think there has been that much fudging. Compare the US to the rest of the world. We look pretty low. Go to Worldometers and sort the country chart by deaths per 1M population. We’re #12 behind a bunch of mostly European countries.
