Confirmed cases mean zero. Its the mortality rate that should be the focus. The fact there is government incentive to list pretty much anything as COVID should kinda raise flags..
Not surprised jj New York is administered by the bankers sis.New York City’s Homeless Population Has High Covid-19 Mortality Rate
Advocates called on New York City and the state to better protect homeless people from Covid-19 in a report charting how the coronavirus pandemic has disproportionately affected the homeless.www.wsj.com
Same exact thing in Pennsylvania. We have some schools not opening at all. Then the next town over opening with zero restrictions. It’s a lunatic asylum out here.The state of Ohio released there plan to reopen schools recently. In a nutshell, the state has no plan and completely abdicated their responsibility to local governments.
You can't make this shit up. The same governing body that claims to have the authority over closing businesses gave up their authority with schools.
I'm not surprised "do nothing Dewine" is doing nothing. And from what I've heard the governor of PA is a clown too.Same exact thing in Pennsylvania. We have some schools not opening at all. Then the next town over opening with zero restrictions. It’s a lunatic asylum out here.
NJ abdicated the decision to individual schools as well. The only state in the area that didn’t it seems iS NY. Which I find ironic considering all the criticism of trump for handing off what should have been a federal response to the states to deal with. The buck just keeps getting passed on down... schools are even passing it down by telling the parents to give their opinion and then allowing all virtual for those who aren’t comfortable. The only people this is going to fall on are those who can’t afford to have options.I'm not surprised "do nothing Dewine" is doing nothing. And from what I've heard the governor of PA is a clown too.
It's interesting just how many stories like this are coming out. Question is: has the damage already been done in the mind of the public?RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina overcounted its tally of completed coronavirus tests by 200,000 since the start of the pandemic, state officials announced Wednesday, blaming most of the error on a processing lab. The error doesn't affect key measures such as the percentage of positive test results, they said.
Mandy Cohen, secretary of the state's Department of Health and Human Services, pinned the brunt of the blame on LabCorp Diagnostics for providing North Carolina with two different daily testing count numbers when the clinical lab network submitted the data electronically and manually.
“The positive cases are reported electronically,” Cohen said in an interview. “Those continue to be accurate. The number that we are correcting today is just the total cumulative lab tests.”
A news release from state health officials said the overall tally of completed tests is collected in a different manner from data used to count positive cases and the percentage of tests that are positive. The completed test tally has been based on aggregate numbers provided by labs, while positive cases are tallied using data collected at the individual patient level.
Cohen said the health department discovered the error in the completed test count when reviewing ways to improve the state's data collection process and ongoing efforts to transition to a more automated counting system.
“Our team found this as we were doing process improvement,” Cohen said. “I certainly wish we would've done that process improvement earlier, right? And then we would've caught this earlier. I think we own that in not catching this as soon as we could. Certainly LabCorp owns some of this for sending us the wrong data, but we own some of it for not catching it on our end."
An executive with LabCorp, which is based in North Carolina, acknowledged the company’s role in the discrepancy and said that some tests that originated out of state were processed in North Carolina and mistakenly included in submissions to the state health department.
