Covid tests could be 50% innacurate

We have a local nurse who comes in as a customer, she says herself that just about every death is listed as Corona related unless it's some sort of major physical trauma because the hospital receives additional funding for the statistics, and unless the fatality is obviously not related (like a stabbing etc), nobody in the government related entity will double check.

Also minorities earn more for the hospital per positive case so all minorities get tested regardless, usually once or twice per hospital day...and of course if the tests can give false results then eventually you'll get a positive, and once you've got 1 positive you won't be rechecked..

I don't trust any of the statistics but the liberals swear by them..

in some cases. Most are pretty accurate.

There are two kinds of tests. One takes a sample and replicates it then runs it through a DNA test to see if it is the right virus. That one is relatively accurate.
The main one that gets used is the antibody test that shows positive for anyone that's had the cold in the past few years. It also may not detect the antibodies because the body stops making them.
Even if you get an accurate result it just shows that you had covid-19 at one point.
You never get taken off the list.

My state sends out an email that shows new cases and new deaths. This last email we are at 0.3% death rate.

0.3 of the country dead, that makes sense

No, 0.3% of people that got the virus. That's 0.0000001% of the countries population (I'm exaggerating of course, but not by much).

I calculated the amount of people that are dead in america from covid. About 1 in 1,500 Americans have died from covid-19. This is just rounding it up, I can't get it exact because every 14 seconds, somebody dies of covid. Let alone counting the american population and infection rate exact, this is why I'm rounding it.

200,000 people in america dead doesn't sound bad, but to put it short, 1 in 1,500 people in america have died from covid.

Those numbers are waaaaay off. Not to mention no one is dying of anything but covid-19.

The claim is 775,000 died of covid. Current US population is 331,304,711. When we do the math: 775,000 divided by 331,304,711 we get 0.0023392362808871. or .23% of the population. That's with the overblown numbers.

I said I was rounding it up
i was rounding the population by the hundred millions and the deaths by hundred thousands

And that's why we don't round.

well, not round by that much. The higher the amount you round, the less accurate.

Yes. The PCR test shows false positives due to the number of cycles being used on the sample. Search for it and see for yourselves.

"The study's lead author, Sin Hang Lee, MD, director of Milford Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory, found that the testing kits gave a 30 percent false-positive rate and a 20 percent false-negative rate."
