"I totally dont get it "


 Various models use different methods to assess and make predictions.

 The ones I am utilizing make predictions in regards to how many patients will end up in specific locations, such as medical centers, in the state.  This includes a projected, yet less accurate mortality rate.

 Those models use CDC guidance, one of those being the provisional coding you and I have been discussing for weeks.  These, no matter how much people want to say it, do not include car wrecks, alcohol poisoning etc. as SARS-COV-2 primary causes of death.  They would list the primary cause of death as blunt force trauma, or alcohol poisoning, but if the patient has SARS-COV-2 they would end up in the CDC provisional coding on the last line of documentation for Underlying Cause of Death, or UCOD on a death certificate.

 The UCOD coding for SARS-COV-2 that the CDC provides is not being used in our metrics to predict how many patients will end up in various medical centers since it would make them inaccurate.  

 This means that while the CDC may want to provisionally code 9 out of 10 deaths as SARS-COV-2 related, we are not doing this so our numbers read closer to 1 out of 10.

And yet, states have been forced to admit to counting bogus deaths as cv deaths and dropping the totals by twenty percent and more.
So, statements to the
Science and only science totals are
Bullshit

Well - it may, but I'm almost prepared to hear the what if because thetruth is indeterminate and the science can be in conclusive. Assume its this - what's your proposed solution.
The same as these fools who wanted to conduct $3600 in tests to find if my son was allergic to milk or wheat. We took him off wheat. Made no difference. Took him off dairy, voila huge improvement.
I don't care what the science is. What is your proposed solution. If that solution is self serving and helps shovel more $$$ into your pocket, I'd call the science garbage. Its like if I was a judge in a beauty contest and I slept with one of the contestants, I would say - to be fair, I need to sleep with all of the contestants so I can be unbiased. Yea that works great (for me) Same chit with global warming, shutdown etc etc. I know the science is for global warming, but the solution seems built to funnel $$$$ to china, public transit, Tesla and other chit I have no interest in helping and not toward the work from home chit that helps a lot more and helps me too. Virus will kill 500 million people, after Biden said guns have killed 150 million and Biden plans to put 700 million women to work. OK so what's the solution - work from home - hey, that also solved global warming - I'm all in.

Cool.

Gosh!
Why would Anyone Ever Doubt what they are being told??


A male corpse was found in a Colorado park with a 0.55% alcohol level. That’s well above the lethal limit. The coroner declared cause of death as alcohol poisoning. But just as in those sardonic memes, the state’s Department of Public Health and Environment (DPHE) insisted on categorizing it as a COVID-19 death.



x
Previously, attending physicians at a nursing home had ruled three deaths as not related to the virus. But, again, the state insisted on classifying them as such anyway. Reasoning? All four of the deceased had tested positive for the virus.

The park death, however, was the last straw for GOP Representative Mark Baisly, who blew his top, and for the doctor who issued the death certificate for the poisoning case and went public.

“I can see no reason for this,” declared Coroner George Deavers, while Baisly threatened to demand criminal charges against Jill Ryan, the executive director of DPHE.

So now Colorado has switched to a dual recording system. It still keeps a broader category of “deaths among cases,” and the smaller category of “deaths due to.” But you have to go directly to its web site to see that. The number still reported to the CDC and thence to data aggregation sites like Worldometers or the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center to count Colorado deaths and U.S. deaths remains “deaths among.”

The dual system essentially amounts to an asterisk. Nevertheless, the difference is marked. The “due to” category is about a fourth smaller than the “caused by” one. And there’s no reason to think it’s different in other states. So when the nation hits the 100,000 Covid-19 death mark soon, if you subtract 25%, it would still be proportionately far less than half the 1968-1969 “Hong Kong Flu” (H3N2) which killed an estimated 100,000 Americans at the time — or 170,000 when adjusted for U.S. population increase.

And no, the economy wasn’t destroyed and constitutionally protected civil liberties suspended for the Hong Kong Flu.

No other states have yet to follow Colorado’s lead. Pennsylvania temporarily dropped hundreds of deaths from the rolls after coroners complained it was fudging the data, then announced it would count “probable deaths” with confirmed and added them back. Full disclosure but…

The overcounting, in Colorado and elsewhere, is far more important than it might seem. The presumption is that the “due to” category means a positive COVID-19 test. It does not. The DPHE web site states that the more restrictive category “represents the total number of people whose death was attributed to COVID-19 as indicated on a death certificate. This number is determined by the CDC.” And the CDC explicitly does not require a positive COVID-19 test.

On March 4, the federal agency issued an advisory that in absence of testing, COVID-19 could be put on a death certificate “where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death.” So if the patient had other “comorbid” or pre-existing conditions that may actually have killed him or her, coronavirus can still be labeled the primary cause of death. Three weeks later it stated comorbid conditions could be listed on the certificate as contributory, but the primary cause of death would still be COVID-19, and that’s what would go into the databases.

So in the extreme, the patient could have been suffering from heart disease, diabetes, morbid obesity, asthma, and lung cancer, and even without a COVID-19 test the primary cause could be listed as COVID-19. The change is so important that literally overnight New York City reported an extra 3,700 “COVID-19” cases that shocked the entire nation. It was all a definitional artifact; none had been tested for the virus.

The San Diego Department of Health recently, reluctantly under questioning, was forced to admit that out of 211 “Coronavirus deaths” a mere six (2.8%) didn’t have pre-existing conditions. Massachusetts on its health department web site notes only 1.7% didn’t have pre-existing conditions. The CDC uses a higher (but still low) figure of 7%.

Even the architect of the systematic world lockdowns, British professor Neil Ferguson, whose unpublished and unreviewed “computer model” of as many as 2.2 million American deaths without drastic action set off lockdowns around the world, later admitted that as many as two-thirds of those listed as coronavirus deaths might die before the end of the year anyway. So it’s more than just possible that the vast majority of the time COVID-19 either played little role in the death or perhaps slightly hastened death.

The U.S. is not alone in its loose definition of coronavirus deaths. If anything, the WHO is even more insistent on pushing the virus as the cause of mortality, saying it shall be used, even without testing, “unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID disease (e.g. trauma).” So we can eliminate flying through a windshield, but otherwise we’re going with covid.

But nobody is required to use the WHO definition. According to the head of the White House Task Force Deborah Birx, in some other countries “if you had a pre-existing condition and let’s say the virus made you go to ICU and then got a heart or kidney problem … they would register that as a heart problem or a kidney problem and not dead from COVID-19.” But in the U.S., “Right now … if someone dies with COVID-19, we count it as a COVID-19 death.”

Ultimately the CDC can recommend, but it cannot force. So why would health departments and those responsible for signing death certificates favor listing COVID-19 as the cause of death over equally plausible or perhaps more plausible alternatives?

One explanation is “availability bias.” COVID-19 is absolutely everywhere in the news. Last year a cough or a sneeze was considered a cold or allergy; now we jump because …  medical professionals, like others, are apt to find what they were primed by preset attention to expect.

Another reflects what Elizabeth Pisani, a former epidemiologist for the WHO and other agencies, has called “beat-ups,” as in “beating up the numbers.” In her book, The Wisdom of Whores: Bureaucrats, Brothels, and the Business of AIDS, she says of drastically inflated predictions, “We did it consciously. I think all of us at that time thought that the beat-ups were more than justified, they were necessary” to get donors and governments to care.

Finally, follow the money.

There has been a lot of confusion about hospitals and caregivers being paid more for declaring a death coronavirus instead of flu or anything else, and some information is false. The reality is that under the “CARES Act” signed in March, the Medicare program that covers Americans over age 65 does pay a 20% premium if a case is declared COVID-19. The precise dollar amount depends on various factors, but obviously collecting an extra one-fifth for filling out a form with one disease instead of another must be tempting. Now add that a full 80% of U.S. COVID-19 deaths are among those age 65 and over and clearly this may have a huge impact on deaths reported.

Ultimately, it will take some extremely detailed studies to have a good idea of how many true deaths the nation has suffered “due to” COVID-19. But there is already strong reason to suspect the figure is highly inflated, partly due to intent, and therefore the official CDC death toll may not be particularly useful for government policies.

This Chinese virus was created by the communists, who quickly disavowed it and nearly successfully refuted its existence, and its been killing people slightly more effectively than the regular flu and its heavily adopted by the wanna be commies to assign blame to their opponents. Is it even possible ??? Truth is stranger than fiction.

Lets write that in plain simple terms.

Created by commies.
Disavowed by commies.
Picked up by wanna be commies to assign blame to their mortal enemies without acknowledging it was their ilk that made it.

Beyond stupid. Love the lockdown. Hopefully it will quash the workplace re alignment or whatever the crap is called for good.

Cool.

"When CORONERS start complaining about the lies,, should I Ignore THAT!?"

 You are historically pretty selective on what information you will accept.  For instance 7 coroners think those photos of Epstein are the same ear, none think its a body double.  

 So I'd say in this case you will listen to the coroners since they are saying something you want to hear, but in the Epstein ear situation you won't because they disagree with you.  


 Obviously the quotes above by by Michael Fumento that you didn't reference are ones you agree with.

So, blood tests DETERMINED scientifically what killed the guy
Someone decided it was CV anyway
Yeah, it's not an
Opinion..
So I'm going with it.
I figured my eyes were as good as anyone else's on the ear..

"So, blood tests DETERMINED scientifically what killed the guy."

 Blood tests determined that the DNA belonged to Epstein.  But since it was a body double blood tests shouldn't be considered a credible source of gaining results from a dead body.



"I figured my eyes were as good as anyone else's on the ear."

 Unless they disagree with your assessment, then those eyes are deficient and incapable of assessing human ears on dead people.  Which is fine, except now that same profession is completely competent.

 If they cant tell that those photos are undeniable two different ears why should we listen to them on anything else?  Discrediting a profession when its handy then handing that credibility back doesn't make sense to me.

 Obviously the quotes above by by Michael Fumento that you didn't reference are ones you agree with and he retains credibility.

 I'm just providing a reason for my answer to your question.

 It seems people are only credible if they are saying things you agree with.  Which is all good until you ask us... and you did ask, if you should ignore Coroners.

 Yeah you should if you think they can't tell human ears apart.  If they can't assess a dead body and bloodwork correctly how can they assess paperwork correctly?

 I am not emotionally invested in your predictions, there is nothing here worth being pissed off about.  

Also I agreed with you.  I agreed with your assessment that a lot of "reported" numbers will be incorrect.  This is why I have encouraged people to use resources that cite enough information that you can do the math yourself.  There's a reason CO is dual reporting like I said it would.


"Now you're playing a sandbox game, trying to tell me why I can't believe the article, because I called BULLSHIT on a picture"

 I don't care if you believe the article.  I am saying that your logic doesn't make sense to me.  An article is only correct if you already believe what it says.
