To date we have plenty of evidence of data farming in order to juice up the numbers while a final cross check typically eliminates as much as nine out of ten. The numbers are not nearly so horrible, but there is still a diease out there that is dangerous. We now know how to largely survive it.
Yet its progress is easily able to kill the vulnerable or frail.
The lockdown has been fun but must now end forthwith. We all need the herd immunity ASAP. At some point exposure avoidance becomes dangerous as our immunity will start to decline. Ask all those South Sea Islanders how that worked out..
San Diego County supervisor says six of 194 confirmed deaths are 'pure, solely coronavirus' deaths

The supervisor of San Diego County, California, is pushing back against Gov. Gavin Newsom’s stay-at-home order, arguing that only six of the county’s 194 recorded coronavirus deaths are “pure, solely coronavirus deaths.”
“We’ve unfortunately had six pure, solely coronavirus deaths — six out of 3.3 million people,” San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond said in an interview this week, according to the San Diego Tribune. “I mean, what number are we trying to get to with those odds? I mean, it’s incredible. We want to be safe, and we can do it, but unfortunately, it’s more about control than getting the economy going again and keeping people safe.”
San Diego County Public Health Officer Wilma Wooten disagreed with Desmond, who downplayed deaths resulting from patients with preexisting conditions.
“Their life is no less valuable than someone’s life who does not have underlying medical conditions,” she said. “This is not just San Diego. This is how this is done throughout the entire nation in terms of identifying who has died of COVID-19.”
Desmond responded to Wooten, saying that “any loss of life, for any reason, is worth preventing” but added that “clearly, those with underlying circumstances are the most vulnerable. I believe we can keep people safe and responsibly open our businesses.”
A study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association in late April concluded that 94% of coronavirus patients in New York City hospitals suffered from preexisting conditions.
Desmond’s comments come as states across the country are debating how to classify coronavirus deaths in hospitals. Polls show that people are growing skeptical about the death counts being released by their local governments.
Coroners in Pennsylvania and Colorado have expressed frustration with the way coronavirus deaths are being tallied, and White House coronavirus task force response coordinator Deborah Birx said the official death toll could be inflated by 25%.
“There is nothing from the CDC that I can trust," Birx reportedly said.
Fellow task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci said he believes the number is being underreported.
