You've complained about this long before Chicks' arrival. In this case it's warranted.

How many dead due to CV-19?
Quote:
Right now ... if someone dies with COVID-19 we are counting that as a COVID-19 death."
That statement might make you conclude that the U.S. COVID-19 data will be skewed to count many people who died with COVID-19 as an irrelevant background condition...
|
Quote:
...the tally of COVID-19 deaths in the United States and elsewhere in the world is almost certainly an undercount. They cite epidemiological data showing that the overall numbers of deaths during the months of this pandemic have far outpaced the death rate during the same period in recent past years, and postulate that the lack of available testing might be a reason why COVID-19 would not make it onto a death certificate.
So which one is it? Are we undercounting or overcounting? Can we trust the numbers?
It's complicated.

It's very worthwhile to read the full article from MedPage Today, here:

NI is a soldier in the influence campaign, I am convinced. Probably enjoys feeling he's 'too smart' to fall for his own stuff. Of course, he is nontheless fallen.

Quoted for fact;
"The challenges of formulating a real-time body count must not be offered as an excuse to abandon or dial back the mitigation measures that we know are working to keep whole populations alive and safe. We are slogging through a slow, brutal, worldwide mass-fatality event. Whatever the final tally, it will be a terrible one.".

Not sure what quoting the article's final paragraph has to do with my post.

I'm not sure what your comment has to do with the article, which seems to have a serious thrust.
