Banjo posted an article from ZH. The article make this claim: "Researchers suspect that the other 100,000 excess deaths were indirectly caused by COVID-19: For example, they might have been drug overdoses or suicides brought on by depression, or a fatal stroke caused by a lack of testing availability." The article fails to cite a single researcher that is asserting this. The CDC report states the accounting of the deaths at this point imply that the cause of 100K deaths within 300K deaths is unknown at this time and cannot be attributed. Jumping to claim that these deaths are due to other health issues brought about by the COVID lockdown is a huge leap that is not supported in the CDC report.
Yes, precisely. But saying that the article has little to no proof is much different than saying the CDC Excess Death site refutes these claims. It does not. Thank you for finally getting it.
As Florida COVID deaths increase, state surgeon general says the state should reduce reporting and re-examine data https://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs...e-should-reduce-reporting-and-re-examine-data With reported COVID-19 deaths of Florida residents topping 16,000 this week, the state Department of Health said Wednesday that information about fatalities needs a “more rigorous review.” Surgeon General Scott Rivkees, who serves as the department’s secretary, said the state took a deeper look at 95 COVID-19 deaths. In 16 cases, it found more than a two-month time frame between when people tested positive for COVID-19 and the actual deaths. Also, another 11 deaths were more than 30 days old when they were reported to the state, according to the health department. “During a pandemic, the public must be able to rely on accurate public health data to make informed decisions. To ensure the accuracy of COVID-19 related deaths, the department will be performing additional reviews of all deaths,” Rivkees said in a prepared statement. “Timely and accurate data remains a top priority of the Department of Health.” The announcement came less than two weeks before the Nov. 3 general election in which COVID-19 has become the overarching issue for voters in Florida and across the nation. It also came as the numbers of COVID-19 cases in the state increase and as dozens of deaths are reported each day. As of Tuesday, Florida reported 760,389 COVID-19 cases since the pandemic began. Also, at least 16,105 residents had died. Slightly more than 40 percent of the deaths involved residents or staff members of long-term care facilities, but mostly residents. Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando, questioned the reasons for Wednesday’s announcement. “It almost seems politically motivated,” Eskamani said. “Accuracy of data is very important. And this administration has been very keen on downplaying the effects of COVID-19 from the very beginning, and I think this is the same of the same. Why haven’t we gotten this right? It's unbelievable at seven months in, our surgeon general has been MIA for most of this pandemic. And now, all of a sudden, he has something to say.” The announcement about reviewing fatality data came as the state mulls whether to continue to update COVID-19 infection reports on a daily basis. The state already has reduced to once a week the reporting of certain other data about COVID-19, including data about the number of children suffering from a rare multi-organ inflammatory disease and the names of long-term care facilities with COVID-19 deaths. Late Wednesday afternoon, the Department of Health had not released a daily report with updated COVID-19 numbers — a report that usually comes out in the middle of the day. The Department of Health announcement also came a week after House Speaker Jose Oliva, R-Miami Lakes, announced the findings of an analysis of 13,920 COVID-19 death certificates that were provided to House staff members by the Department of Health. Sixty percent of the death certificates had reporting errors, the analysis said, and did not adhere “to the national standards for completion of death certificates in general and guidelines for COVID-19 related deaths in particular.” “It's unbelievable at seven months in, our surgeon general has been MIA for most of this pandemic. And now, all of a sudden, he has something to say.” — State Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando The analysis also said most of the death certificates were filled out by medical examiners and not by physicians who cared for patients before they died. The analysis also criticized federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to include in the death total all deaths in which positive COVID-19 tests are known. Florida has abided by the guidelines. The inclusion of those deaths increased Florida’s COVID-19 death count by 10 percent, according to the House analysis. “Any ‘current’ count of COVID-19 deaths is more accurately described as the number of people with COVID-19 who died, rather than those who died from COVID-19,” the analysis said. Democrats, however, questioned the House analysis. “What this comes down to is this is COVID-19 deniers. And I hate to say it, but this is a complete attempt to downplay this pandemic that has destroyed lives across the country and world,” Eskamani told the News Service of Florida at the time. “There are so many steps we can take to not cause controversy over this pandemic and just get our job done. It’s very frustrating to see these used-up attacks to downplay the pandemic.”
Projections show Florida beginning another surge of daily coronavirus deaths https://www.wfla.com/news/by-the-nu...ng-another-surge-of-daily-coronavirus-deaths/ Florida health care workers are gearing up for a surge in daily deaths before the holidays, according to new projections from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. Since the pandemic reached the United States, the IHME has been tracking its progress and making estimations on its spread based on precautions such as mask mandates and social distancing ordinances, as well as daily reports from the CDC and Departments of Health throughout the country. Forecasts from the IHME, an independent global health research organization at the University of Washington School of Medicine, estimate that there will be 147 daily deaths from coronavirus in Florida by De. 12. On Monday, Florida only had one new coronavirus-related death. Health experts are expecting that with Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas in the near future, leading to an additional 28,656 coronavirus deaths before the Spring of 2021. Nationwide, researchers are expecting an additional 389,087 coronavirus deaths by Feb. 1. Cases in Florida reached 762,534 on Wednesday, with 2,145 new cases, including 105 new deaths. Positive coronavirus cases have surpassed more than 8.3 million in the United States, with more than 221,000 deaths.
Can you please show me what data you have that says Florida COVID deaths are "increasing"? As reported: by Date of Death:
LOL! This is reported deaths, and as the previous chart I provided shows, there is no indication of any increase. It could happen, sure. But lots of things could happen. The chart in your article doesn't show anything indicating a spike. Just some forecast dotted lines. And we all know how accurate those have been. You're like, intentionally stupid. Like you want to be wrong. I can only imagine how bad it must be to be so vested in such a losing position and see your credibility wilt by the day.
Let's see how this turns out over the next 5 months... Tell us again what DeSantis criticized New York for. DeSantis loosens restrictions on those visiting Florida’s long-term care facilities https://www.wftv.com/news/local/wat...-home-visitations/MWHMNX5CSJAU3C4CPHKUR4S5EI/ Gov. Ron DeSantis said Thursday that he will loosen restrictions on visitors to nursing homes and other long-term care facilities in Florida. Last month, DeSantis allowed visitations to resume at the facilities, but visitors had to make appointments and wear personal protection equipment. Residents were also limited to a maximum of two visitors at a time. DeSantis said while speaking in Fort Myers on Thursday that facilities will now be required to allow outdoor visits even if a facility has reported a case of COVID-19. He also said children will now be able to visit the facilities, and he is leaving it up to facilities to determine how many visitors may be allowed at one time. DeSantis had locked down the facilities at the start of the coronavirus pandemic to try to prevent the spread of the virus. Florida reported more than 5,500 new coronavirus cases Thursday.

Your strategy is now just to spam as many articles as you can without responding to any criticism of them. That's kinda what I figured your end game was. I'm the only one reading your articles anyway, and I only read a few of them. So I should probably stop at this point and let you shout into the void.
I can't imagine this increases the COVID death count. Instead, it will likely confirm what some of us have known all along, that COVID deaths are inflated because of monetary incentive. Please note in the list of JUST the deaths reported on OCT 20 is a 96, 97 and 99 year old. Their deaths are COVID's fault. Florida Surgeon General Implements Additional Review Process for Fatalities Attributed to COVID-19 to Ensure Data Integrity Of the 95 fatalities reported to the state on October 21, 2020, 16 had at least a two-month separation between the time the individuals tested positive and passed away, and 11 of the fatalities occurred more than a month ago Today, Florida’s Surgeon General, Dr. Scott A. Rivkees, announced the Department of Health will conduct a more thorough review of all fatalities reported to the state. Fatality data reported to the state consistently presents confusion and warrants a more rigorous review. Of the 95 fatalities reported to the state yesterday, 16 had more than a two-month separation between the time the individuals tested positive and passed away, and 11 of the deaths occurred more than a month ago. Florida Surgeon General Scott Rivkees said, “During a pandemic, the public must be able to rely on accurate public health data to make informed decisions. To ensure the accuracy of COVID-19 related deaths, the Department will be performing additional reviews of all deaths. Timely and accurate data remains a top priority of the Department of Health.” Of the 95 fatalities reported to the Florida Department of Health today: 11 were over 30 days old; 16 had at least two months between the time the individuals tested positive and passed away; and 5 had at least three months between the time the individuals tested positive and passed away. Here is the data reported to the Department of Health on October 20, 2020: (chart continues after jump to link) This additional review process will not affect the work of any Epidemiologist or County Health Department in the state. All additional review will be conducted by the Department of Health’s central office.
