States Ordered To Fraudulently Inflate COVID-19 Cases 15 Times Actual Rate

[bootstrap]

More cooking the books.

Pay close attention to the broadly expanded definition of a "case":

They have added a probable case definition to the already existing confirmed case definition. Probable means:
- confirmed via test
OR
- close contact with confirmed or other probable cases.

It's in his own video, seconds in. That does not seem like a bad move to me. The need right now is to know "how bad the situation is". Therefore, you need to lean towards "most likely" and away from "only what I know definitely for sure".

We need info on how bad it is in order to make good decisions on what to do next. People misunderstand the case numbers to mean an evaluation of how good or bad a job we've done so far. That is misinformed.

Don't forget how 'flattening the curve' was sold to us. We were told we must shut down in order to save the health care system.

Well so we shut down and set up field hospitals. No one used those field hospitals. And now we have first-hand reports that hospitals around the country are running on fumes due to lack of patients.

"Cases" are artificially induced and include throngs of people who have no symptoms whatsoever. The death count in the country is falling and that's the only meaningful metric aside from hospital utilization. It is _not_ better to start adding more cases based on a hunch. Only those who are ill should be tested and only those who are positive should be added to the rolls.

We have lost our collective minds. The covid is like the flu - it should be ignored. Virtually no one is actually affected.

Federal Order......so who is at the top supposedly running the country?

More proof that the CDC is completely dysfunctional and heavily politicized.

It comes down to specificity vs sensitivity. What do you prefer? Lot's of false positives or lots of false negatives. Use a strict definition of a case you'll have a really low false positive rate, but you'll miss a lot of cases i.e. high false negative rate. The converses holds true. Pick one.

Behavioral revelation mechanism implies they've chosen a low false negative rate.

Do you have up to date info-this was 2 months ago - whats it like now - since most are allowed to do elective treatments

No, but calgunners who work at hospitals or have relatives/family there post about it all the time

Yep - but I'm looking for CURRENT reports

San Bernardino County website has 376 hospitalized covid patients and 135 ICU covid patients. What I can't see is how many are actually hospitalized because of covid or just tested positive and are hospitalized for other reasons. Also, I wonder if there is a cross-over between the hospital census and the ICU census.

Let's dive into the Nobel-Prize winner, Kary Mullis, who actually invented PCR and claimed that PCR testing was for research purposes and not meant for clinical diagnoses.

Nutshell: PCR teating is BS. Run an arbitrary number of cycles and everyone tests positive. Contract trace them x 15....
