Fact-check org: CDC Hasn’t ‘Reduced’ COVID-19 Death Toll

[pyetro]

Here's yet one more debunking of this right-wing lie circulating in social media.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regularly updates two different lists that track deaths from COVID-19 in the U.S. One list, referred to as “provisional deaths,” counts death certificates. The other list counts confirmed and probable cases.

The list that counts death certificates shows a lower number partly because official documentation takes days or weeks to produce. So that number lags behind other methods of counting the death toll.

But several claims based on a faulty comparison of those two lists have been spreading the falsehood that the CDC has “adjusted” or “reduced” the number of deaths due to COVID-19 in the U.S.

This message — made explicit in some posts and implicit in others — furthers the conspiracy theory that the pandemic was planned or is a hoax.

CDC Hasn't 'Reduced' COVID-19 Death Toll - FactCheck.org

Claims on social media have been spreading the falsehood that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention significantly lowered the COVID-19 death toll. There has been no such reduction. These claims confuse two different measures of the number of deaths.

Never heard of any such claim. But, if it makes you feel better to debunk a “right wing” claim.....well maybe you’ll make it to tomorrow before a new story triggers you.

I have show on a number of threads that the real number for the crisis is >100k...

Look at the excess deaths:

Excess Deaths Associated with COVID-19

Figures present excess deaths associated with COVID-19 at the national and state levels.

They seem to manufacture a new "factcheck" domain every time they want to lie about something.

Maybe factcheck.biz or factcheck.costarica next time?

Lying c*nts.

I will leave that comment...

Please educate yourself on Excess Deaths numbers by the CDC...

Then explain the +50K excess deaths in the US for the first 18 days in April...

Just explain how all these people died and then ask why has the White House done nothing with so much Americans dying of this mystery...

I have educated Myself on all of this. Perhaps you should educate yourself on the incompetence of State governors like Andew Cuomo.
