Yes it was absolutely misrepresented in the media. Folks like Alex Berenson and the Daily Wire made a huge deal about them "revising their calculations" claiming they were somehow "wrong" initially as evidenced in this thread https://forums.sixpackspeak.com/sho...yone-has-been-running-with&highlight=Berenson ...


Here is an equally dumbass scenario that these folks seem to be following:

Doctor: Sir you have cancer. If you do nothing, there is a 90% chance you will die. If you go through chemo, your chances of death will go down drastically.
Patient: ok I'll do the chemo.
... 6 months later
Doctor: There is now only a 30% you are going to die.
[enter Alex Berenson]
Alex Berenson: The doctor was wrong!! He said 90%, now he says 30%!


See how dumb that is? FWIW I'm totally in favor of measured re-opening and voluntary social-distancing a'la Sweden.

Exactly. As numerous people said almost 2 months ago now, if what we do works, it will initially LOOK like an overreaction. Fast forward to now and an astoundingly large number of people think that none of what we have done has had any effect at all.

Look CoronaBro. I'm sorry to interrupt your socialist party but did you even read the article?

“Hospital administrators might well want to see COVID-19 attached to a discharge summary or a death certificate. Why? Because if it’s a straightforward, garden-variety pneumonia that a person is admitted to the hospital for – if they’re Medicare – typically, the diagnosis-related group lump sum payment would be $5,000,” he added on April 19. “But if it’s COVID-19 pneumonia, then it’s $13,000, and if that COVID-19 pneumonia patient ends up on a ventilator, it goes up to $39,000.”

This right here is why deaths from all other diseases are down as well as deaths numbers are inadequate.

You are proving that someone might want to commit a crime because there is a potential reward to do so. You are correct.

You have provided no evidence... whatsoever that anyone has done anything of the sort.

For example:

I would really enjoy taking a **** in your mouth while you sleep at night. It would be very rewarding. Have I ever done so? Do you have any evidence?

For the record. That doodoo breath you wake up with is because you don't brush your teeth.

What's a coronabro and why am I socialist?

All you've brought to this is a speculative comment with zero support. In fact, the only statement you used to support that it might be happening was pulled straight out of your *** as I have given you what the CDC has actually said about flu cases, both historical and projected and it doesn't line up with what you said.

There are many unethical and illegal things that both you and I have a financial incentive to pursue, but that doesn't mean we do it. If you are asserting that this is happening, you can't possibly be dumb enough to believe that a statement that docs might be doing this proves that they actually are.

Not only are you being a dumbass about this, you are a lying dumbass.

You got a link to any facts to support this statement?

I'm not going to argue that he's correct because I haven't seen verifiable info that suggests it's financially viable to code deaths as covid-related. However, if you take a little run graph of covid deaths for 2020 and then put on top of it a run graph of flu deaths in 2020, you will see something remarkable: that flu metrics plummeted beginning in March. So, either one of two things are happening: we are having a historically (and by historically, I mean "never seen before") light flu season, or flu deaths are being coded as covid deaths.
