The federal government is classifying the deaths of patients infected with the coronavirus as COVID-19 deaths, regardless of any underlying health issues that could have contributed to the loss of someone's life. Dr. Deborah Birx, the response coordinator for the White House coronavirus task force, said the federal government is continuing to count the suspected COVID-19 deaths, despite other nations doing the opposite. "There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition, and let's say the virus caused you to go to the ICU [intensive care unit] and then have a heart or kidney problem," she said during a Tuesday news briefing at the White House. "Some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death. www.foxnews.com/politics/birx-says-government-is-classifying-all-deaths-of-patients-with-coronavirus-as-covid-19-deaths-regardless-of-causerr

We will never know the real nos. some of the reporting is for insurance purposes to make sure it gets paid for. For example someone may have had bacterial or even viral pneumonia (flu induced maybe) and then caught the virus the virus had not progressed to the point hospitalization was required but the pneumonia had, the pneumonia caused the death and was the reason for the hospitalization but having been diagnosed as having Corvid 19 they code that as the cause of the death and hence treatment is 100% payable w/o copays. Money's involved too.
At the end of the day the true rate will be between 0.7% and 1%. Too many of course but that would not be out of the line with other respiratory viruses. The very contagious nature of this virus is what makes it different.
Here in Texas we are still at only 100K testing but of those tested only 10% or a bit less have proven positive. That's been very consistent since the start and does not seem to change as testing increases. Not sure why we have not been affected as much maybe lack of overall testing in combination with being more spread out even in the big cities.
As of today in Texas 9600 tests 9353 confirmed cases 177 deaths, that means that of those confirmed about 1.9 % don't make it of the overall tested population about .19% our rates are low despite having the large cities, that may change but to date most of the testing is in the large cities.
I have an individual working for me that had an uncle go for testing, waited in line 7 hours finally got up there was asked if he had symptoms, he said no just wanted the test, was told he didn't need to be tested unless he had symptoms so he said well I do have some diarrhea and because he was older said he was achy. They tested him, fortunately it was negative. My point in this is testing is hard to come by that shouldn't be somehow or other we need to get more tests out there. Two reasons, it might show there is far less issue and we can get a pretty good idea of the real numbers.
All that being said IMO we have until the end of April to come to some work decisions and even then the economy may have long term labor and business issues spinning up (unemployment not helped by these idiot 2.2 trillion dollar enablers). One problem is the President can try to jump start the engine but the damn governors have to supply the battery to get it started. Some of the Governors are gonna try to keep quarantined as long as they can and then beg for more federal help. We are in a very nasty circle not helped by not providing proper statistical analysis

Destruction of the greatest economy in global history is not justified by the DEATHS incurred.
FEAR created by deep state operatives.
This is a form of FLU, that now has many CURES!!
Accept the cures, and get back to business.

The whole media "panic" push is about changing how voters vote because they know they dont have a chance unless they cheat. They want "drop box" ballots where it would be simple to cheat.
It wont fly, voter ID will be the way to ensure the legal votes.
