We know the number of deaths listed by the CDC are as accurate as possible because data comes from multiple independent sources and goes through independent checks.If you really think 620k Americans have died, you’re a dupe. If you can’t tell that’s misinformation to dupe the feeble minded, I’m sorry for you.
State Health Depts. The first source of death data is called case surveillance. Health-care providers are required to report cases and deaths from certain diseases, including measles, mumps and now COVID-19, to state health departments, which pass this information along to the federal government, This surveillance data is known as “quick and dirty” accounting because it relies on the consensus of the doctors attending the patient. This is the data commonly used by states in making public health decisions.
County Coroner's Office In regard Covid-19, the job of the coroner is to determent if the deceased ‘died sooner than they would have if they didn't have the virus? To answer this question the coroner must review the death certificate information, investigate conditions surrounding the death. Once he reaches his conclusion, the death certificate and other Covid data is sent to the State Dept of Vital Statistics for storage.
National Center for Health Statistics: Their job is to receive the complete set of records of the death from each state and to tabulate the cause of deaths. For Covid-19 the difference between the initial death counts keep by the State Depts. of Health are compared to those of the State Dept of Vital Statistics . Andy differences are resolved. The results are then forward to the CDC and the National Vital Statistics System.
National Vital Statistics System: Death and Birth Certificates forwarded from the National Center for Health along with other health statistics are filled by the system after a computer check is made to make sure there is no lost data from initial report forward for Covid deaths.
CDC The CDC's job in the reporting process is to make the data available to the public and researchers. This has changed during the epidemic. During the first few months the initial number of deaths were reported in order to give decision makers the latest information. The initial death data was release and corrected when final data arrive. This created problems for researchers and mistrust by public, so the CDC published only the finalized data and initial data was released to the administration earlier. However, changes are still made in finalize data when errors were discover but these changes are very small.
For the misinformation being published about Corvid deaths to be true there would have to be a huge conspiracy running through not only the federal government but the state governments reaching all the way to the coroner's offices.
