    I doubt they are over reporting cases. If anything just the opposite.

    Do you think there’s any evidence They are over reporting deaths according to coronavirus?

    I believe it is seriously under reported. If one dies and does not have a test result, it's not COVID. And plenty are dying without being tested. I'm hearing a LOT of this on a RN COVID group I participate on.

    We have a serious lack of testing in this country! I don't care what the orange one says-he is quite wrong!

    IL, no of course not. I was responding to Y and you misunderstood. I agree with G.

    Over time we’ll be able to look at how many deaths were expected from the normal course of people dying versus how many actually died. As we did with Puerto Rico after the hurricane. I suppose some people will try to dispute that number but whatever. If a lot of people’s loved ones are part of the death count from covid no amount of spin will be successful.

    I responded to a medical call yesterday that resulted in a death.

    Patient had delayed a now-clearly-essential medical appointment because of schedule/travel difficulties due to covid-19.

    Having some familiarity with his medical history, I suspect he'd have had 15+ years of good quality life ahead of him without becoming "bycatch" to the pandemic.

    Thanks - he was a good fellow, and lived close enough to me that I jogged over to respond to the page :-(

    That is so hard to see happen.
    As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
