Covid-19 and the Age of Misinformation
I cannot follow the logic of some on the right. At first “the libs got it wrong. “We are only going to see 60k deaths. The projections were wrong.” As we approached 60k, the script changed. It was “well the CDC revised its count downward.” Then the media reports that, in fact, the count was not revised downward and the discrepancy you see is the difference between provisional deaths and confirmed deaths. For a death to be confirmed, you have to have a death certificate. It often takes weeks after a reported death to get a death certificate. If someone tests positive for covid-19 and then subsequently dies from complications, then it’s presumed to be caused by covid-19. That’s a logical assumption. There has been hardly any deaths that have been revised from the time of the presumed deaths until the time the death certificate confirms the death.
