I find it amazing that 2-3 weeks later the country updates the death count.

Does it really take that long to determine the cause of death – I honestly do not know, I am no coroner.

Just seems odd that we get to back date (feels like it) those numbers and that those numbers ‘help’ their government position. Seems shady.

It takes 2-3 weeks to certify a death. It’s not shady, it’s a process. If it was instantaneous, then it would be shady. https://www.tulipcremation.com/cremation-guide/death-certificates

There’s a lot more goes into issuing a death certificate than you my think. States and counties need to collect causes for other things besides COVID. Insurance companies may require data from autopsy so they can settle claims. Relatives may also request autopsy for their own reasons. Try not to assume everything is a conspiracy.

All deaths during this BS pandemic are subject to being shady.

Thanks YoYo
But that website is to get the death certificate. That means that they would need to certify it before they sent out the certificate.
Again, this is not an area of expertise of mine … but it seems ‘off’.

It’s taking far longer than 2 to 3 weeks at times. Today deaths were added for 7/7/2020 which is 22 weeks ago, 8/17/2020 which is 16 weeks ago, and 8/30/2020 which is 14 weeks ago. I think the Claycord person that makes the daily report saw that December was still at zero deaths and assumed the three new ones were in November.

It’s quite puzzling to me as back in March/April they would announce that a COVID-19 patient died today. Once the dashboard came on line the death reports also seemed to be very timely. When the county changed from reporting new cases by the date they were confirmed to the date the sample was taken they also seemed to stop reporting deaths as they happened. I’m wondering if the date of death is now the date a person is suspected of catching COVID-19. For a while when a death was reported the number in the hospital would go down by one. There are people being admitted daily now and so we can’t tell if and when people are removed from the hospital count as deaths are added to the count.

A bunch of God DAMNED LIARS.
H1N1 / Influenza has been eradicated for all of 2020……..let’s just call it……’covid’.
A bunch of lies from a bunch of sellouts hiding behind stormtroopers.
You’re concerned about Hospitals being overwhelmed….
Ha ha ha, what a joke. Hospitals are empty.
LIARS.

But ‘covid’ doesn’t seem to go to Starbucks, Walmart, Costco or McDonalds……..only small mom and pop shops.

Starbucks at Treat & Clayton closed briefly this summer because of an outbreak. They’re open now.

An outbreak & death at the Tracy Safeway warehouse last spring contributed to the shortages we all went through.

One of my siblings coworkers got H1N1 this spring..they’re a defense contractor defending the homeland and they don’t mess around.

I think that the deep state is using the covid-19 virus pandemic to keep the human race pre-occupied so they the (deep state) can get the GREAT RESET in gear to take off after 01/20/2021.

You can’t fake full hospitals, people. Way too many people involved to pull that off. I have zero confidence in our politicians and think our public health people have Covid tunnel vision. But there are some real constraints here. Hospitals aren’t set up to quadruple their ICU capacity: you can’t easily just pay many times more trained staff than you need in case a random pandemic might happen someday. There really is a crunch in a lot of hospitals nationwide. Not so bad here yet, but if admissions double in the rest of December and then keep going up in January? Not great.

All that said, what our politicians should be doing is supporting people’s needs in the situation, not pushing punitive measures with dubious effectiveness, like curfews and crud like that. If you could get tested with rapid tests and be given the option (emphasis on that word) of quarantining in a Covid motel to keep family safe, at the government’s expense, then the case growth in lower income areas with more crowded households could be slowed down. Real masks (KN95) for certain classes of workers would help. Paid sick leave for workers at LTCFs – amazing that we don’t have that. (Do we? I would love to be corrected on that point.) Would probably make a bigger difference than shutting down outdoor dining and harassing churches.
