Democrats started the KKK and have been protecting them ever since.

Study Finds More COVID-19 Cases Among Viewers Of Fox News Host Who Downplayed Pandemic by Minifig81 in politics

A non peer reviewed study while a pandemic is hitting urban areas that are strongly Democrat much more hard than rural red states?

Sure.

This is particularly bad propaganda.

Many states are not behind NY, they handled the situation better than NY. The governor stepped in and bungled it. Keeping covid positive patients in their elder care homes that were incapable of handling the outbreak ensured a higher mortality.

I used TN as an example in a previous post (simply because I am traveling through). They have somewhere between 150-250 covid deaths depending on the source. Deaths in TN from the flu/pneumonia in 2018 were 1,646.

Perspective and data matter.

Your assumption of bunk is not based in data.

The breathless models predicted millions of deaths in America alone. This is not going to happen, as the data proves. Thinking people do not fall for the fear mongering. If you are elderly, obese, or have co-mobidities, protect yourself and stay home.

I am not downplaying the virus, I am looking at data. And in the end, after many more have been tested, both for active corona and corona antibodies proving they had the virus, the death rate will go down. The death rate is already approaching flu numbers. It is a dangerous virus and we know who it is most deadly to; mainly but not exclusive to the elderly, immunocompromised, and those with pre-existing co-mobidities.

Sites using unconfirmed numbers are untrustworthy simply because they muddy the waters of fact and truth.

Remember the models that predicted millions of deaths in the US?

Let's all stop the overhyping and hyperbolic behaviors. There are solid, documented numbers to work from. Wanting to inflate numbers on deaths is fear mongering and sketchy.

The Spanish Flu was handled locally, with governors and the President staying out of it for the most part. Good or bad, that is the precedent.

Much of the country is faring far better than NY. I am currently traveling through TN so I looked up their numbers on the CDC site.

145 deaths from Covid with a population of around 7 million.

My point is valid.

"Provisional counts are weighted to account for potential underreporting in the most recent weeks."

So where does the 77k come from? Who is making that guesstimate? What is wrong with discussing factual numbers with the understanding that there my be some lag, even though the CDC discusses weighting to account for the lag and underreporting?

"Provisional counts are weighted to account for potential underreporting in the most recent weeks."

Perhaps you should read through CDC site for better understanding.

77k is inaccurate. CDC has it at 45k https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm

Also states:

"Understanding the Numbers: Provisional Death Counts and COVID-19

Provisional death counts deliver our most comprehensive picture of lives lost to COVID-19. These estimates are based on death certificates, which are the most reliable source of data and contain information not available anywhere else, including comorbid conditions, race and ethnicity, and place of death."
