Due to administrative delays in death certificate processing ... 250,000 U.S. persons died of #COVID19 as of 3-6 weeks ago

Posted by zork Nov 19 '20, 14:13

Due to administrative delays in death certificate processing, today’s #COVID19 death toll actually reflects persons who died 3-6 weeks ago. That means:

250,000 U.S. persons died of #COVID19 *as of 3-6 weeks ago*

Let that sink in.

But out of how many total US citizens that there are? - Green Bean Cuzzinrole Nov 19, 14:25 4
- If there were a war that was killing 1,000 US citizens a day, the military would be getting billions to combat it. -- nm - zork Nov 19, 14:49
- Implying that it's just a drop in the bucket. 100 9/11s, a drop in the bucket. People are off their gourd. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 14:38 2
  - I tried to make it personal with my "just let it spreeeaaad!" friend. asked her which 4 of her friends/family members she was happy killing. - mafic Nov 19, 14:41 1
    - Here's hoping that reason is a move toward rationality as opposed that she added you to her list of four ;-) -- nm - JD Nov 19, 14:46
And that’s undercounting (compared to total excess deaths) as it is -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 14:21
So it's likely more like 275-300k. -- nm - pmb Nov 19, 14:17
hey, that might be a pertinent detail for all the covid dashboards to include with their numbers. -- nm - Max Nov 19, 14:16
