Re: 18.5 percent jump over the previous two weeks

How much did the number of tests increase?

18.5%?

More than 18.5%?

Also, how much did the fraudulent COVID fatality numbers go up?

Fraudulent? Believe it.

100% of fatalities involving COVID + pneumonia are classified as COVID fatalities.

100% of fatalities involving COVID + ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) are classified as COVID fatalities.

How does that counting method compare with influenza?

Less than 10% of fatalities involving influenza + pneumonia and influenza + ARDS are classified as influenza fatalities.

If CDC counted influenza deaths the same way they count COVID deaths, we would have 200,000 influenza deaths - every year.

For the flu, pneumonia is a secondary, opportunistic infection. For CCP-19, pneumonia is a direct symptom. So your argument falls apart right there.

Testing is holding at a pretty steady 800,000 or so per day, and positivity is down from the early days (meaning that testing is gaining ground on the cases), however, positives have increased of late (meaning the disease is spreading faster than it was). Our testing capacity is not exhausted, so they can ramp it up if they need to, and if the disease is spreading faster again, they will need to.

And, no, the CDC lumps flu and pneumonia deaths together, even though the pneumonia is an opportunistic secondary infection and does most of the killing. Flu just softens you up, like CCP-19.

Only 3.25% of flu deaths are “just” the flu. An average of 1350 out of an average of 36,000 flu+ILI deaths, annually. These are multiple year averages, not some cherry-picked once-ever stat like you have a tendency to use, when you aren’t just making stuff up out of whole cloth.

Most of your post is false - some of it deliberately so, as you have had the facts pointed out to you before. You should really stop.
