The mass hysteria over COVID-19 in the U.S. is driven in large measure by misleading statistics and bad math about the disease’s body count. (snip) The problem starts with the fact that the highly influential statistics from the Big Apple paint a false picture of what is actually happening.
In New York City, the death of anyone who dies who tests positive for COVID-19 is counted as a coronavirus death. This is the case even if the coronavirus failed to play a significant role in the person’s passing or illness. This calculus violates established scientific standards.
And even with that, the fatality rate for this disease is not very high.

Democrat Governor. Let's keep up the panic scenario!!! Make the economy tank even more. Governor Wolf in PA is doing the same thing. Same, same. Let's keep the panic high, tank the economy and then blame Trump as an October surprise.

Are they also inflating the deaths of the police, fire, and healthcare workers? In Italy and Spain but not Germany? Don't politicize biology at this difficult time.

Lies, damned lies and statistics.
I suspected that little assumption was being made, only because the healthcare business does not have the time right now to conduct thorough studies of cause of death. The politicians and journalists, of course, will assume whatever favors their agenda.

I was thinking the same thing. All of these reports about deaths have been skewed from the beginning. You would think that they would know better. Perhaps this is done just to scare the hell out of us, and to further their agenda of getting rid of the president.

Where are the medical professionals’ protocols for listing the cause of death? This is not up to some grandstanding governor so that he can keep getting airtime everyday!

Yellow Flu good, because Orange Man bad. Nothing else matters.

As has been pointed out here by others, there is a huge difference between "died of Wuhan flu", and "died with Wuhan flu". Prepositions are critical in this case.

A good friend passed away a few days ago. He tested positive for the virus when he died of heart failure. Perhaps the stress from the virus contributed but he was in his early nineties. I think the article is correct. The deaths by Wuhan are being exaggerated by the way they are reported. It's not that I don't think that this virus isn't a nasty, lethal disease but I wouldn't trust the media if they said the sun comes up in the East.

It's all about getting government cash during the 'state of emergency'.

FTA: "In New York City, the death of anyone who dies who tests positive for COVID-19 is counted as a coronavirus death."
This is not unique to NYC. It is the universal currency of the profiteering medical services profiteers supported by the UNIPARTY and fellow travelers.
Accepting the Chinese lied, let's also not forget that Chinese "hospitals" are not the same as Western hospitals, and neither is the medicine practiced. It's about restoring the yin-yang of the body by traditional "natural" potions and manipulation prescribed after diagnoses by taking one's pulse, examining the tongue and prodding a few body points.
As of the latest "live count" there have been 245,175 cases "diagnosed", with 10,403 deaths in the U.S. Out of over 300 million population. And knowing the number of deaths is inflated as noted above. BTW: There are over 5,000 hospitals in the USA, not to mention various clinics and other such facilities.

And so little is heard about Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Daniel Dae Kim, Prince Charles, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, and Idris Elba and wife who have ALL RECOVERED. Why not?

This reminds me of how they count school shootings. If a drug deal gone bad on a Saturday night behind the bleachers it's classified as a school shooting. How convenient for them.

If it wasn't for the fact that China deserves to take full credit for the massive spread of this virus, I would propose that it be renamed the "bullshiite-19 virus".

Let's only count fatalities that are caused by the CCP Virus. If you're infected with it and you die of a heart attack, asthma attack, stroke, diabetic coma, or gunshot wound, then you shouldn't be listed as a victim of CCP Virus. We need real numbers.

Exactly! Did the person die WITH Corona or FROM it. The numbers simply do not justify such drastic measures.
Please, no more modeling and conjecture. This is hysteria driven by your very liberal advisers.

Shades of the Puerto Rican hurricane where anyone who happened to die that year was listed as having been killed by the hurricane - for the sole purpose of blaming the deaths on PDT.

How many people die in New York everyday in normal times? By deducting that number from the number of New Yorkers dying these days should give a fairly accurate estimate of the legitimate corona virus impact on New York deaths.

So by "NYC China virus logic" if I die in a car accident while undergoing chemo, cancer killed me? That's New York math and medicine for you. Unquenchable Trump hatred and uncontrolled addiction to federal tax dollars are to blame for this stupidity.
