We can’t even get a real death rate for COVID-19 because we have corrupt, ignorant, inept and partisan people in charge. 

Why, at the very beginning, wouldn’t you have a system set up for every state to have the same mandatory reporting requirements? 

Why in the world would you not want to have “real” numbers of the death rate of a virus that has turned into a pandemic? 

And you have to really ask yourself why the CDC counts people dying “with” coronavirus as dying “of” coronavirus. 

What’s their end game? Why are they upping their numbers? 

And then you have the idiot governors who grouse about increased case and death rates and they say that everyone needs to stay at home because of them – and then come to find out, those numbers are from nursing homes and prisons. 

What people want is to know what they are dealing with as an average person walking around in public. This is the data we need. 

What are our chances of catching the virus or dying of the virus for the average person who is not in a nursing home or prison? 

The nursing home is a specific age of person in a confined space. The prisons are also a confined space and the inmates are easily infected. 

A recent report shows that 43% of U.S. COVID-19 deaths have occurred in nursing homes and assisted living facilities but the numbers are most likely much higher as many states aren’t releasing data and others don’t count it as a “nursing home” death if they end up in the hospital and die there. 

The CDC has recently published some updated information on death rates which I guess we can use as a baseline but we can’t take it as gospel knowing how they count things. We also know that they change their information and recommendations all the time. 

Come to find out, the fatality rate is lower than what they said back in March when WHO estimated a 3.4% fatality rate and Dr. Anthony Fauci said it was about 2%. 

Yes, the fatality rate is much lower than we were told, just like Trump said. The fatality rate for all infections across all age groups, symptomatic as well as asymptomatic is approximately 0.26%. 

So it seems like, in order to to figure out the risk of an average person, you start with that 0.26% percentage, take away all the fraud from the reported deaths that are not actually coronavirus (let’s say approximately 20% or so), subtract the percentage of people who died at nursing homes and prisons and then you get a more likely death rate that YOU should be concerned about. 

That number is going to be a very very low number. Certainly not something that requires the destruction of our county’s economy or any continued shutdowns. 

We started hearing about death rate fraud more than a month ago but we don’t know what’s exactly going on. 

Are the hospitals trying to make money off COVID-19 cases or is the government trying to increase the numbers? 

Maybe both. 

Washington State is one of the reprehensible places where they are counting things such as a gunshot death as a coronavirus death, according to PJ Media. 

The Freedom Foundation produced a report from the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) documents and found many unsettling things including that 106 out of the 828 COVID-19 deaths reported were people who tested positive for the virus but that it was not listed on the death certificate as contributing to their death. 

Governor Jay Inslee said the Freedom Foundation’s report was “dangerous” and “malarkey” but the DOH pretty much confirmed the numbers in a recent briefing right after that. 

States are also facing accusations for cover-ups on a number of fronts whether it’s incompetence or their way of reporting and counting. 

Still others, like Dr. Anthony Fauci, are fear mongering that the numbers are much higher than reported. 

With all of this information (or lack of) coming to light, we can safely say that the death rate is not accurate at all, whether because of outright fraud or incompetence. 

And yet the governors continue to make decisions on their lockdown orders based on this inaccurate information for their own political reasons.
