I dont. According to the rules, there is a lot of extra money to be made for hospitals if they show a patient has or died from covid -19. Where there is money there is greed. Where there is greed there is corruption.

Killing the elderly and people who are 60 or over has a double advantage. No SS payments no medicare expenses. We all know these systems are insolvent or near insolvency. So I guess this was a great way to make these systems viable again.

India and china, the worlds most populated nations have no medicare, hence no reason to report false deaths. Chloroquine has yielded excellent results in those nations. But hey, we wont give it a shot here because there is no profit to be made and corporations must profit regardless the price to people. eom.

No but there are many more deaths from COVID that are not reported. This is nearly certain according to Fucci—-lol

No. I think people make mistakes, and I think that some of the reporting on deaths is inflated from the well-known issue of classifying deaths of people with COVID as "COVID" deaths.

But all states have different protocols for what counts as a "COVID" death, so I find it hard to believe there's some grand conspiracy to inflate the death counts. And even still, I think that any over-reported death are a minority. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/which-deaths-count-toward-the-covid-19-death-toll-it-depends-on-the-state/ar-BB12Is0x

Colorado counts "epidemiologically linked" cases which were only about 3% of the total. Ohio counts "probable" deaths, which were about 5% of overall cases.

In contrast, in Alabama 110 people had died (when that article was written) and tested positive for COVID, but only 73 were officially added to the death total.

So at most, it seems like anybody over-reporting is over-reporting by 5-10%.

Trump has called the death reports "very very accurate".

If you have actual data/sources that go against this, by all means shoot me a link.

But there's also very compelling data that suggests that COVID deaths are UNDER-reported, probably from lack of testing and from not testing soon enough. The Economist did a good look at this https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2020/04/16/tracking-covid-19-excess-deaths-across-countries
