The experts who are involved in counting novel coronavirus deaths at all levels — from local hospitals to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — disagree with the president. If anything, they say, these deaths are undercounted. And with a death like Bob Duffy’s, you can begin to see why.
All those small decisions, made in the moment because of what was best for Bob, ended up determining how his death was recorded.he way deaths are counted, like so much else in the U.S., differs among states. There’s a lot of variation in this process, even on a good day — a fact that stretches all the way back to the
If Bob had died in a nearby hospital, such as one of the ones in Nassau County owned by Northwell Health, he would have been tested for COVID-19, either before or after his death. Whether he’d been there for five minutes or a month, hospital staff would have been in charge of filling out the part of his electronic death record that pertains to cause of death, a representative from Northwell told me.
Not everyone fills out these records completely, though. And early on during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a lot of confusion happening, said Shawna Webster, executive director of the National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Systems, which represents vital registrars nationwide. “It might just say ‘coronavirus,’ which I’m sure you know is not as descriptive as it needs to be,” she said. There are, after all, multiple ways COVID-19 might kill a person.
Over the next few weeks, it would become clear that Bob had been in contact with a number of potential sources of COVID-19 — or maybe he’d been a source that passed it to them. It’s impossible to know. His son-in-law was later diagnosed with the disease, and his wife — one of Bob’s three daughters — tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies.
The comminust liberals trolls are out in full force. PROPAGANDA PROPAGANDA PROPAGANDA PROPAGANDA.....
They don't know how to count
FactsMatter and POTUS Trump is correct!
This is typical anti-Trump fivethirtyeight reporting. What about all the deaths reported as due to coronavirus that aren’t? I disagree with all the “experts” that come crawling out of the woodwork to disagree with the President. 🗽🇺🇸
Its fine for Biden to say he will make sure companies Like Amazon pay taxes BUT what happens to the money? more jet fighters handouts to third world or a basic jncome and public healthcare!
Honestly I want to appreciate Mrs Heather after I invested with her, I was patient enough after four days, I received $5000 with $500. She brought much light into my life and family, you can reach her heather_crypto
He's doing what dictators do. Because he is a dictator. TrumpGolfsYouDie TrumpDeathToll100K TrumpForPrison2020LockHimUp
so what ? without tests nobody would have taken notice of Covid-19. coronavirus tracingapp
RockySly9 CDC website says if they are positive for covid and they die count it as a covid death. That means if you get in a car accident and have covid and die from car accident it can be listed as a covid death Colorado is trying to fix the inflated death counts
You didn’t say who the experts are. Seriously, how can you build credibility if you are too afraid to subject your “experts” to scrutiny.
Is this like Iraq lies, where over 2 million innocent Iraqis citizens killed as a result of invasion but us claimed oh about 650k! Inaccuracies in staistical counting fall under +&- 5 STD of deviation!
Really? Is the Abacus a last resort, and yet, in the news, you have a similar picture... I think you all need to report news, like facts, and stop the simulation. Oh, did I speak out of sorts, or did you? ---while adhering
Covid-19 as the cause of death is grossly over counted. Death by regular is under counted. Neither levels justify a lockdown. Opening up is happening without government approval.
Absolute lies. It’s already known that there are many non Covid deaths being counted towards the number. The hospitals the news shows to be overrun are absolutely empty. And the CDC admitted that the tests they use can’t even reliably tell apart coronavirus from BACTERIA!!
What ever.
Я верю вам
Then there is this RockySly9
Wow they ALL disagree with the President?
If 'the experts involved in counting' say that the numbers are wrong, what does that say about these experts and their ability to count?
PaulSorrentino3 So are the infection rates and the number of people who have recovered. The entire thing is an embarrassing clusterfuck.
Of course the covid19 death rate is undercounted . The United States didn't start covid19 testing / counting covid19 related deaths until March. Not to mention Florida's governor is manipulating covid19 data.
Has anyone seen any breaking news on the 2 children that died this week from the flu? No? Must not be scary enough to keep the economy closed....
That's because they're lying.
FakeNews That is all you can say.
