What does this have to do with COVID-19 in America? If anything, this backs up my claim that a country would want to hide the real numbers while reporting lower numbers. Inflating the numbers doesn't make sense for anyone.
Seriously dude? Google is an American GIANT of a company reporting numbers from China knowing full well they are false. It is yet another example of American media reporting false data related to Covid. My argument is ALL data is inaccurate, which this bogus graph affirms, yet again. I can’t believe I have to explain that
Google reporting the numbers provided by the Chinese government means all numbers are fake regardless of their source? I don't understand this logic. Do you believe the CCP controls all numbers for all countries? If you search "did china fake covid numbers" the first page of google brings up articles discussing how the numbers coming out of china are fake which makes me believe google isn't carrying water for the CCP.
Don't get me wrong......I am not suggesting that this isn't a pandemic or isn't a very contagious virus. Obviously it is.
Hospitals are hurting......they are getting compensated for covid cases or covid deaths.
Is that true or not?
It doesn't take a conspiracy or organized effort to tag deaths as covid deaths if a patient tested positive for covid......but obviously died from another cause. Sometimes it happens even if patient didn't test positive (but we can ignore that can of worms)
I realize a lot of people are testing positive. I realize some people get really sick from it. But if the deaths are exaggerated..... which it seems clearly they may be......then that is a problem .
Not saying its a national conspiracy.....or one party trying to steal an election......
Just hospitals trying to find a way to make it when business in other areas ain't so good
The financial incentives would come from deflating the numbers not inflating them.
YaleDawg...I had already discussed American data inaccuracies and why I think that is so.....so I decided to take my talents global. I threw in a soft jab I probably shouldn’t have regarding China, (which took all of five seconds for an LOL moment courtesy of Google.) But I’m glad to hear you agree those numbers are BS.
So back to American data....My point is months of evidence supporting inaccuracies in America...yet you have high confidence in the numbers? That is the logic I don’t understand. Here are a few more examples I didn’t feel like typing out earlier...
My father told me today about two friends of his who had parents die in hospice care recently. Both marked down as COVID deaths and again, neither got tested. The families and caretakers weren’t required to be tested or quarantine either...
Another guy I know went to get tested, filled out the paperwork, decided the wait was too long, and he left. Two weeks later he got a letter in the mail stating he was COVID positive. Needless to say, he was outraged.
These are not all “one off” examples as you cited, but a consistent directive from health authorities with financial incentive for COVID deaths and COVID positives.
Possible China’s low numbers are a result of their population having a high exposure Sars-1, leading to mostly mild responses and no need to test?
Why is it that the tiniest irregularity in data reporting gets heavily scrutinized but these blatant examples that are seemingly occurring to thousands of people are not?
Nah. Not that many people had it
I agree with this. Likely number of clinics not reporting properly is quite small. Number of tests probably won’t move the needle. I had initially hoed for a huge scandal, but it just doesn’t seem plausible to be a widespread thing. If it is, then the only explanation would be improper directive on the state level.
Am I having a stro.ke??
You were bound to get something right eventually
Actually some faint hope in these numbers..
Hey, man...
A BUNCH of people in China had it.
Those cats are EVIL. They can go door to door, take your temp, and drag you out, never to be seen from again..
They have ZERO accountability. They view their 2 billion citizens as assets. They will bury a couple hundred thousand folks to save face, and not tell anyone.
Again, the VAST MAJORITY I those 2 billion people have no idea what happened in 1988...
They are the example of what a government can do when there is no free media to report.
