Nearly a quarter of the people reported as coronavirus deaths in state statistics don’t have the virus listed on their death certificates – at least not yet – the state Health Department said Friday, adding more uncertainty to how many people the virus has killed in Colorado.
The number of coronavirus deaths in state figures topped 1,000 earlier this week, and the number stood at 1,150 deaths as of Friday afternoon. But officials with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment revealed during a call with reporters

And how many other states will stop reporting "died with" cases as "died from" cases? How many will correct their statistics?

Many people have hypertension when they die. Imagine if they were all classified as dying from hypertension when it could be dozens of other causes? The numbers would be off the charts. But that is what is being done with COVID-19.

The models lied. The “experts” lied. The CDC lied. The WHO lied. The governors lied.
We’ve been had.

Governor Polis was in Washington to meet with President Trump last week. I'm sure this was a topic of discussion, as it likely has been with the White House COVID-19 Task Force. I'm guessing more governors will get meetings with Trump. Expect a flood of death count revisions in the next couple of weeks as this epidemic subsides.

If they do not have a positive test they should not be listed as Chinavirus. The USA leads the world by far in deaths simply to scam Medicare and Medicaid hospital payments. Our hospitals are empty, thousands will die of non-biopsied cancers. The Chinavirus hysteria demonstrates that scientists should not be put in charge of anything, ever. Just look at the models predicting 2 million deaths and also Non-existent Global Warming. Not even Nigeria or the whole of South America has so many deaths as the US. Schools were open in Sweden all the time and they did better than US.

Note that every reported COVID-19 death, at least in Colorado, tested positive for COVID-19. The question was whether they DIED of COVID-19 or something else. A person died of alcohol poisoning in the SW part of the state last week. His blood alcohol level was twice that to kill you but because his body tested positive for COVID-19, it was counted as a COVID-19 death.
They are doing this at the direction of the CDC. A Colorado health official was quoted as saying this was so they could even out variations in reporting and compare "Apples to apples". That's all fine and good but now that the dust has settled it's time to set things right. Trump is doing that and, probably, tying a bit of federal aid to it getting done right.

fta: County Coroner George Deavers said Tuesday the person tested positive for COVID-19, but an investigation by him and the pathologist determined the cause of death was ethanol toxicity. The person’s blood alcohol content was 0.55, Deavers said. A BAC of 0.3 is considered lethal.
“COVID was not listed on the death certificate as the cause of death. I disagree with the state for listing it as a COVID death, and will be discussing it with them this week,” he said.
THAT is a perfect example of what so many of us have been saying. This person didn't a bit more die OF Covid than a man in the moon. This sad soul drank themselves to death but tested positive so = Covid death. Just insane!!

Jason Goodman has an interesting program on You Tube, entitled "Cure or Con" with John Cullen, that basically covers this subject using data from states other than Colorado. Watched it today.

What? There can't be Covid auto deaths or Covid old age deaths or Covid heart attacks or Covid cancer? I thought all death was caused by Covid these days.

It's routine now in demonrat run states. Fake the death number so they can keep their jackboots on citizens necks to get them used to it.
