What the Media Won't Tell You About the United States' Coronavirus Case Fatality Rate
16 Jul 2020 ~~ By Matt Margolis
Without fail, the media seems intent on making America out to be the lone failure in the world in the battle against the coronavirus.
Many media outlets have described the United States as “losing the war” against the coronavirus because of the number of cases keeps going up. Axios, for example created a chart show that if all coronavirus patients (confirmed cases) were a city, it would be the third-largest city in the country. The recent trend of the media to focus on the total number of cases seems to be a result of the recent spike cases that failed to produce a similar spike in deaths. So far, we’ve only just seen a small bump in fatalities, and there is evidence that data dumps of backlogged data could be inflating those numbers.
Nevertheless, because we’ve witnessed a spike in cases and there have roughly 3.5 million cases in the United States, that’s the number the media seems to be gravitating to. Why? Because when you look at the number of cases or the number deaths individually and compare them to other countries, the USA seems be the hardest hit…
…that is until you account for population or look at the ratio of deaths per confirmed cases. I’ve previously examined how the United States measures up on cases and deaths per capita, so we know why the media doesn’t report on that, but the media the media also doesn’t want to report about case fatality rate (CFR). And the following graphs will show you why.
~~Snip~~
But what this proves is that the media is still avoiding any comparison that shows the United States is a positive light compared to other countries during this pandemic. Back in March, I noted how the media was avoiding cases and deaths data per capita because that showed that the United States was doing better than other comparable countries. That data didn’t show the United States as number one for deaths or cases. The media wants us to believe the United States is disproportionately losing the battle against COVID-19 compared to other nations because they want the public to blame Trump and vote him out of office.
Comment:
Had the use of the HCQ cocktail been used more liberally in the U.S. rather than the biased LSM propaganda and disinformation fighting against it, there would have been less deaths attributed to the Wuhan Covid-19.
Democrat governors have already shot their wad by killing many as possible in nursing home and care facility's, so their media lackeys naturally want to ignore CFR.
NY still has a high performance capita death rate for a U.S. State. New Jersy and Philadelphia also have tons of packed apartment buildings, and dense population too. per capita feels like a better measurement to me since population density and size vary.
Anyone with an IQ higher than a lawn chair knows this including the media knows this. But they are biased and corrupt beyond belief. They want two things from the China virus... first and foremost to destroy Trump... but almost as important they see it as a tool to measure how much Socialist Marxism Democrat governors and mayors can impose on Americans and how much they're willing to accept.
The MSM is throwing EVERYTHING that might stick in hopes that DJT loses in November. They certainly have twisted the stats on Covid 19 to a laughable level in hopes that the gullible will swallow the bait. It appears that even the slow witted are beginning to awaken to the absurdity of the Demoncrats clown car campaign. Redux 2016?
