Officials removed over 200 probable deaths from their official tally on Thursday in what they said was an effort to be transparent. We realize that this category can be confusing, since it does change over time, Health Secretary Rachel Levine said. At times, there are things we need to review, and potentially revisit the way the data is being analyzed, she added. And this is one of those times. These cases were previously reported as probable, but review determined that more info needed before attributing as #COVID19 related. This doesn't impact confirmed case count. Probable cases make up <2% of total cases + give us an idea if something is happening in an area that needs investigation. We rely on CONFIRMED case counts to make data driven decisions. As we work to move regions from red to yellow, we use confirmed data to base decisions. twi tter.com/PAHealthDept/status/1253397752358281217 The abrupt change came after state coroners pointed to inconsistencies with the states www.westernjournal.com/us-sees-significant-easter- downturn-coronavirus-deaths-new-cases/? ff_source=Email&ff_medium=conservative-brief- CT&ff_campaign=dailyam&ff_content=conservative-tribune">death counts and what they had recorded. Theres a discrepancy in the numbers, Charles Kiessling Jr., president of the Pennsylvania Coroners Association, told The Inquirer on Thursday. Im not saying theres something going on, he added. Im not a conspiracy theory guy. But accuracy is important. On Sunday, Pennsylvania increased its coronavirus death toll by 276 overnight to 1,112 total fatalities. The health department reported another spike on Tuesday when the death toll jumped from 1,204 to 1,564. Levine said that the deaths did not happen overnight and that the surge occurred over the last few days. The department also claimed that the www.westernjournal.com/us-coronavirus-deaths-top-1000- total-cases-will-soon-surpass-italy-china/? ff_source=Email&ff_medium=conservative-brief- CT&ff_campaign=dailyam&ff_content=conservative-tribune">surge was caused by a computer glitch. Levine announced Tuesday that the department would be reporting probable deaths related to COVID-19 in addition to confirmed deaths, but department spokesman Nate Wardle told The Inquirer probable deaths had been included for at least a week prior. Wardle walked back on his comments Wednesday and said that the probable deaths hadnt been added to the systems until April 13, and were added to the official state count on Tuesday. White House coronavirus task force coordinator Dr. www.westernjournal.com/trump-birx-slam-chinas- official-numbers-unrealistic/? ff_source=Email&ff_medium=conservative-brief- CT&ff_campaign=dailyam&ff_content=conservative-tribune">Deborah Birx had explained earlier this month that the United States has a very liberal recording guidance for COVID-19 deaths. There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition and lets say the virus caused you to go to the ICU and then [you] have a heart or kidney problem some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death, she said at the coronavirus task force www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks- president-trump-vice-president-pence-members-coronavirus-task-force- press-briefing-april-7-2020/">briefing on April 7. Right now, were still recording it
if someone dies with COVID- 19, we are counting that as a COVID-19 death. Poster Comment: Which way is up? Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top Page Up Full Thread Page Down Bottom/Latest

Covid-19 deaths are rampant in Chicago and Detroit. The victims' bodies also have secondary lead intromissions, which are considered common to those urban environments.
Stop the lying!
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable. ~ H. L. Mencken
Remember that the CDC has ordered all hospitals to report ALL deaths are related to the "Beer" virus.
