Im guessing states get more funding the higher number of cases and deaths they report. I heard if someone dies in a car accident and test positively for COVID-19 postmortem, they count it as a virus death.

If our mortality rate with the virus were going down, then our rank in deaths per capita would be moving down the list. We've gone from 12th to 9th in the last month.

Rankings of course are 100% irrelevant. What is necessary for you to prove your claim is that actual rates, not the rankings. It's most likely possible that other countries improved their RATE even more than the USA amid all these manipulated numbers (increased cases, fewer deaths) resulting in the change in rankings.

Not saying it's true, just proving that rankings are irrelevant.

See, right there, when you said that other countries would have to be improving their mortality rates faster than the USA is - does that not strike a bell in your head that something about this picture is not making us look like we know what we're doing?

No. Not to me or any other clear thinking person.

The "rates" are just numbers constantly being adjusted. We are testing more than nearly all other countries. We likewise created more havoc with the proven unnecessary lockdowns. Now the media and the left are trying to extend the problem with more lockdowns. They're misusing the numbers to claim we reopened too early and all that other nonsense.

As Ron Paul stated, we're now being told to panic over "cases" instead of "deaths" to make things still seem "scary". It's not. The whole thing was botched by the WHO and the CDC and the liberals played right along with it.

I didn't say, as you misread, that other countries were "improving" anything. I said that the numbers resulting in those rates changing. Backfilling "cases" to increase the denominator while the numerator (deaths) is barely changing is going to result in a lower "rate". So no... they aren't better than the USA or handling it such... the numbers are just being refined.

Regardless, the ranking is meaningless and we clearly need to be MORE OPEN, not less so... but the blue state tyrants are keeping the panic going as they don't want to lose control.
