When the CDC admits to falsifying numbers, yes. Under any other scenario you and your gang would be screaming at the sky. But when it involves destroying lives, livelihoods, and especially your President,
crickets.
"In this country, we've taken a very liberal approach to mortality," said Deborah Birx, the response coordinator for the White House coronavirus task force, at a briefing on April 7, explaining that the United States is counting the deaths of people with underlying conditions as covid-19 deaths, even though other countries are not.
"The intent is, right now, that . . . if someone dies with covid-19, we are counting that as a covid-19 death," she said.
"Intent" is an odd choice of words.
Have a fever and die from heart disease? = COVID-19!
Have a cough and die from COPD? = COVID-19!
Have shortness of breath and die from lung cancer? = COVID-19!
After all, when FEMA promises reimbursement for every COVID-19 patient your hospital treats, why not pad the numbers? It's the Cobra Effect on steroids.
Fear gets funding and the more you can stoke that fear with exaggerated numbers, the more funding you get.
And you continue to fall for it.
