Don't you mean "over" the actual number? - Cuzzin Todd Apr 5, 13:17 3
- It’s an odd way of phrasing it, but the reported number will be under the actual number. -- nm - znufrii Apr 5, 13:23 2
  - Italy isn't counting deaths at home and many elderly decided to die in their own beds than go through the horror stories they were hearing. - zeitgeist Apr 5, 13:28 1
    - NYC is counting deaths at home. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:30
I was guessing this was the case. So my Aunt, despite cause of death 'presumed COVID' won't be counted because she was never tested -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 12:59 1
- This. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:13
This is because there aren't enough tests. Not worth testing people after they die. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 12:29 11
- This is mostly to answer the "HoW dO wE kNOw ThEy DiEd of cOROna" people. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 12:51 10
  - When I had H1N1, a couple of ST individuals said I was lying, because I was "presumed" positive. Presumed means there is an epidemic - loosilu Apr 5, 13:15 9
    - I’m not saying you got to, but perhaps you should let that ST thought you were a liar thing go. - Qale Apr 5, 13:42 7
      - you know what? It severely pissed me off, and other ST folks were going along with it. -- (edited) - loosilu Apr 5, 13:45 6
        
        What I would say to this is consider yourself heard. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 13:56 2
        
        Good enough for me. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:57 1
        
        👍 -- nm - zork Apr 5, 14:02
        
        Well alrighty then. Please, continue. -- nm - Qale Apr 5, 13:53 1
        
        Nothing else to add. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:54
        
        I'm in your corner on this -- nm - zork Apr 5, 13:48
    - For clarity. I tested positive for Influenza A. It was June. There was only one strain of A going around. Additional tests would have been a waste. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:23
