New York City is lying about Chinese virus death rates
[American Thinker] The mass hysteria over COVID-19 in the U.S. is driven in large measure by misleading statistics and bad math about the disease’s body count.

Now that New York has become the epicenter of the pandemic in the United States, we are now regularly inundated on cable TV news with the latest pandemic statistics from the city. The statistics grow gloomier by the hour.

These figures have frightened people into submission as state and local governments across America enact repressive measures they say are necessary to contain the virus or slow its proliferation.

After doing everything in their power to oust President Donald Trump, journalists and others are now calling him a weakling for supposedly not doing enough, while they demand an unprecedented nationwide crackdown.

The problem starts with the fact that the highly influential statistics from the Big Apple paint a false picture of what is actually happening.

In New York City, the death of anyone who dies who tests positive for COVID-19 is counted as a coronavirus death. This is the case even if the coronavirus failed to play a significant role in the person’s passing or illness.

#1 Disperse the population. Close the contaminated polls and voting machines. Everyone votes absentee, mail-in ballot. Use the media to attack Trump on a daily basis. The urban crisis must continue through October.

#2 If, say, four weeks from now the economy is still in free-fall and lots of folks don't have any way to buy food and pay rent, we may see a more kinetic kind of urban crisis.

#7 #3 is real enough. NY wants to strip upstate NY hospitals/offices who planned ahead and give their equipment to NY city.

#9 Point of order, a lot of the TV studios are in NYC, a lot of them are butthole lickers, and their purpose in life is to sell themselves as personalities via catchy topics.

#13 Thank you, Besoeker.

FWIW none of this is personal and no harm is meant to anyone and I don't give a flying hoot about being proven right. We're all fallible, none is has a monopoly on truth. But I know data and data quality, and it's simply impossible to ignore any longer the "data fiasco" (UK Pathology Prof. Dr. John Lee's term) that is occurring here as our authorities continue to confuse "with" and "from." Wise, experienced pathology and epidemiology experts across the medically advanced world - from Stanford to Yale to Harvard to Oxford to other U.K. and also German universities - are speaking out. Please give them a respectful hearing.

Best wishes to all.

#14 They have already had food riots in Italy. If NY can't keep the shelves stocked, things will get very, very ugly.
