So now the tRumpers are saying the Covid death numbers are inflated;

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

because hospitals get money for listing deaths as caused by the virus? Straight from Faux news. It never ends!

[captain queeg]

1. No surprise. The same ones who fought against unemployment benefits

Because that encourages people not to work. Have any of these disgusting low lifes every worked for a living? Projection; the lazy parasites have been free loading and living off their inherited money their whole lives.

4. I wouldn't call living in your mom's basement "inherited money"

[captain queeg]

5. I'm thinking of the ones who have a public voice

Not his minions who fill his rallies

6. I wonder if we would ever be able to determine how many ....

...people who attended any Trump rally caught the coronavirus?

Even more interesting would be to see dates, but I would not expect to ever get such stats from the Trump misadministration.

[captain queeg]

10. Agreed. Also those large evangelical church gatherings.

It would be nice, and really quite important, to know these things but with an administration so devoted to suppressing information we certainly won’t get the facts.

2. Brit Hume was tweeting last week

He was apparently surprised that hospitals were labeling deaths caused by COVID-19 as...........deaths caused by COVID-19

3. They never run out of ways to pull the wingnuts panties up their collective cracks

They must have eaten the brown acid is all I can think.

7. Sad

Sadly, they have to keep moving the goal posts in order to fit their "it's a hoax" narrative.

8. My Trumper friend who claims he never tunes in on the news started

talking this bullcrap the other day. He pays no attention to the "news" but he listens to Rush Limpwad.

9. lol, sure.

First it was a hoax. Then it was the flu and not that deadly. Now that the Death numbers are high, they’re inflating the numbers.

Then some (a lot actually) believe it’s some man made virus from China created to destroy America. And Trump (Moses) is sheltering us (his flock) in place to fight the Cabal (people who don’t agree with them) who are killing the children and storing for their precious blood (abortion) for later feasting. This all according to the gospel of Q (Qanon).

You can’t make this shit up even if tried.

I’m a first responder, (cop) and I’ve seen what’s happening out here. People are dying at a fast clip and the bodies are piling up.

I’ve tried explaining how medical death certificates are classified.

I’ve tried explaining the 5 modes of death (homicide, suicide, natural, accidental, and undetermined).

I’ve tried explaining the difference between primary cause of death and the underlying cause that led to death.

I’ve tried explaining Covid, Influenza, Heart attack, diabetes, etc, are conditions to can lead to death. And that the disease itself is not the primary cause for one dying.

I’ve tried explaining that all medical conditions found during an autopsy or that were known prior to death, and that have a high probability of causing death are listed on the death certificate in order of occurrence.

I’ve tried explaining that the CDC complies this information and are able to determine with a high rate of probability what conditions or combination thereof can lead to death.

I’ve tried explaining to these Facebook doctors that the leading cause of death chart that they use to spout the flu stats is based off of that info.

I’ve been always been aware of people who believe anything told them without reviewing stats, records etc. But this has crossed the line of conspiracy theories that we once would laugh at. These idiots are going to get us killed disregarding science, using fake Facebook memes, and some sort nonsensical occult religion.

Be safe out there. Take care of those that can’t and above all else, VOTE!!

13. Totally agree

First, welcome to DU!

Secondly, totally agree. And chaps me is the people on Facebook with the "haha" emoji whenever a media outlet reports the latest amount of deaths, making fun of it as if it's all fake. If it weren't for the fact they could spread the virus to many innocent people, I'd say "have at it" to them. They might as well put their fingers in their ears, because they refuse to listen to people and still think it's all a big hoax.

[Bored5783]

16. So true

They’ve been indoctrinated, gaslit, and don’t eve realize it. Got Facebook deleted yesterday calling out an old college “friend”. As if I’m hurt lol.

[marble falls]

14. Just a confluence of everybody everywhere dying at the same time - pure coincdence ...

wait and see ... probably no one will die.

If its not real, why are you writing checks to everybody, Donny, why are you hogging up the respirators?
