Interesting.
Interesting.
I think if you dig into the numbers you will find this is a totally overblown point and the real deaths by this is actually higher than the numbers being reported. Not saying that is reason to panic.
Based on what? The numbers haven’t come anywhere close to projections in either cases or deaths. Apparently, Americans no longer die of cancer or heart disease. Andrew Cuomo even admitted that. But yeah, Coronavirus deaths are probably being under-reported. I have seen nothing that supports under reporting.

After everything that's come out recently, you still believe this? Italy admitted to inflating their Covid-19 deaths by including those with serious comorbidities (to put that lightly). And now we're starting to see the curtain pulled back here.
Where's Trog or Tibs?
I'd be curious to know if they could point out which story is true and which one is false and or horribly misleading.

So forget everything we are talking about right now, let's look at just some very recent statistics of influenza:
"The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) began counting the 2017–2018 "flu season" as October 2017, and by early February 2018, the epidemic was still widespread and increasing overall. By February 2018, the CDC said that the circulating virus strains included both B strains (Yamagata and Victoria), H1N1 and H3N2.[6] On 10 February 2018, Fortune reported that influenza in the United States was killing up to 4,000 Americans a week."
"The 2017–2018 flu season was severe for all US populations and resulted in an estimated 959,000 hospitalizations and 61,099 deaths."
So if this ends up killing 60,000 Americans, what exactly is the difference from the above? Why the lockdown of almost the entire country and the unemployment of tens of millions of citizens?

Right now this is killing up to 2,000 people a day in the US not a week. With no vaccine or final approval on a treatment and a worse respiratory component. That is the difference for what it is worth and that is with a lock down, in my opinion

No they did not admit to inflating it they said that if a patient with a comorbidity had coronavirus and died they reported it. If I have a serious comorbidity but get coronavirus and die would I have died if I did not get it? Very possibly at least not as fast. I am sure there are some exceptions but I have no problem with that being the way it is reported. My wife just had an entire lecture on that in her nursing class and they were pretty much in agreement on that unless it was from something like an accident or shooting oneself, it is a hard call to make in many circumstances.
I look at it as an easy thing for those want to say it is overblown to ***** about but it is a scientifically relevant stat. Not many people die directly form the disease to begin with it is secondary infections and issues caused by the disease. That doesnt mean it is not the cause.
You are truly overestimating how much something like that is happening. They are NOT testing most people if there is not a clinical reason reason to with the lack of testing available. Seriously that is what makes the argument stupid.So if a person with advanced heart disease, and a history of multiple cardiac events, tests positive for Covid with mild or no symptoms and dies of a heart attack..... Counting that as a Covid death is a LIE, plain and simple. No matter what nursing boards are told by the people that rule over them.

I gave nothing other than facts as we know them.
From where? I just cited where I got my facts from, where are yours from?

I said now killing up to not averaging over the entire course as we don't know what that will be yet. Today reported so far 1720 yesterday 2035. Same place I have gotten all my numbers and posted a link to before.Where are you getting that this is killing 2,000 people a day? Because from my research (and yes I'm not an expert), there are a total of 20,283 deaths (by the John's Hopkins tracker) and the first death was reported 43 days ago by the CDC.
That is an average of 471 people per day, and that's with this bullshit comorbidity tally. Again, what happened to the number of heart attack deaths, stroke deaths, pneumonia and influenza deaths all of a sudden?
I understand you have family working on the front line, but that doesn't take away the facts.
