Can you look into why Texas death rate is so low compared to states with similar case numbers? Second picture shows the extremely low Death rate per 1M. I hear there are about 4000 deaths above the norm in TX that had been classified as flu but not sure if thats true.

(50,911 posts)1. Yes. Either that or they've found the cure and aren't telling us about it.
I guarantee that the deaths attributed to pneumonia are sky-high this year in Texas.
AND they're not the only state doing it.

Its easy to spot the states who are fiddling their numbers. When the meta data comes out, the liars will be isolated even more clearly.

... and showed up to Floyd's funeral knowing he supports an over racist in Trump
