They say that deaths can be manipulated. But really any data set can be, so I lean towards all data being "directionally correct" in regards to COVID.
Totally agree that new cases mean nothing, because the outcome is what matters. And there are only 2 outcomes - recovery or death. So, by analyzing death rates, you indirectly analyze recovery rates anyway. Hospitalization is another stat people look at, but it is not as leading of an indicator as it was a month or two ago. More people are making it alive out of the hospital now than they were 2 months ago. Hospital capacity is a stat that people are very worried about, because they believe that a hospital at 100% capacity will start turning away gravely ill patients, causing death rates to go up. What people don't account for is the hospital ability to create room or to transfer patients. 100% capacity isn't really 100% capacity.
Once we get past this, there will be a 3rd outcome. Recovered but messed up for life in some way. Not sure how many of those there will be.
This shit , agenda push is done / it’s over
To update you once a heart attack drug guy had thousands at his funeral , thousands and thousands could riot and protests, blacks didn’t have to wear masks in Oregon, and Cal gov kept his winery open while everyone could not go to church, go to a park , Nashville mayor said no fireworks but allowed BLM protest
It became bullshit , so stop the bumps and troll and the bullshit , it’s over , wake up, it’s an agenda , ur being played like the bitch you are, be a solution, not the problem u so choose to be

I'm not sure who "they" are, but if it's the same group of people that tabulated a death count significantly lower just four weeks ago, should I throw out that figure also? It seems odd to me to take a stance that numbers are fabricated if they don't work in the direction people would like, but accept them when they do.
They could be anybody. People are working backwards. They take a stance, and then look to data to back up their argument. With so many data points, they are bound to find something to prove that their stance is the right way. And then, all other sets of data get thrown out. People in the sales business are usually really good at this. Or, if they can't find a piece of data that fits, they say that the data is manipulated.
It's why the goalposts move so often. Data is changing day to day, so people adjust day to day on what fits their narrative.

Covid is real. Pretty sure most agree. The things in question are:
1. How serious is it in general
2. How serious is it for those who are not old and compromised
3. What do we do about it
If you ask many different people these questions, you will get a variety of answers. And when they answer, most people cannot see things from the other side. If you are a shutdown person, you think that open the economy people are wrong and you will point to statistics to prove that they are wrong. Same on the other side. The truth lies somewhere in the middle, as it usually does.

That's not exactly addressing my post. The issue that I'm having with the notion that suddenly the deaths are being manipulated is that the same department gave considerably better numbers four weeks ago. One would have to assume that you're implying they switched the people that were computing the information and that group had a different narrative. Otherwise I would think one would need to accept the good and the bad numbers.
