How is the US over estimating deaths?
We have generally only been counting people with confirmed infections who die in a hospital. If you are sick at home and end up dying, in most places you don’t even get counted. NYC had to add 3700 deaths that occurred at home or on the street between March 11 and April 13 to their tally.
These are people who likely died of covid due to reported symptoms, but had never been tested.
There were another 8100 people who died in that month long period who did not get a post mortem diagnosis. It is highly likely that a significant number of those are covid victims since the normal monthly mortality in NYC is around 5000 people.
The mortality rate in NYC since mid March is about 4x higher than normal

am honestly not sure if this is better suited to here, or to the Gaming Funnies thread where people will undoubtedly get the EA reference

Quote:
Electronic Arts and Activision Blizzard were both called out for having overpaid CEOs in an annual list from As You Sow.
As You Sow is a non-profit shareholder advocacy group that publishes a yearly report on the 100 most overpaid CEOs of the S&P 500 Index to call out “excessive compensation.” The organization calculates the overpayment by taking the median pay of an employee at the company and comparing it against the CEO’s pay.
Activision Blizzard’s CEO Bobby Kotick’s pay is $28,698,375. This is an overpayment of almost $13 million, according to As You Sow’s estimates. He was the 45th most overpaid CEO on the list.
Electronic Arts, Inc. head, Andrew Wilson, is paid $35,728,764. This is about $19.7 million too much, according to As You Sow. Wilson rounded out the end of the list, appearing at number 98.

I like the "Trump spotted following own advice" one.
Considering this was published yesterday.
Trump is exhibiting all the symptoms of a hydroxychloroquine overdose
Quote:
My study hasn’t been peer reviewed yet, but my evidence — based on a hunch that originated in my gut — is very strong: President Trump has overdosed on hydroxychloroquine.
Trump, who claims a “natural instinct for science" not from formal training but because his late uncle was a scientist, once used this innate ability to determine that climate change was a hoax and that windmills cause cancer. More recently he mobilized the U.S. government to make sure thousands of covid-19 patients were treated with the antimalarial hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin — because Trump’s instinct told him the drug cocktail would be a “phenomenal” “game changer.”
Sadly, evidence from all over suggests that the drugs cause heart problems and worsen death rates.
No matter! The stable genius dropped his hydroxychloroquine hypothesis faster than you can say “snake oil” and is now touting a new miracle cure for the virus: injecting the lungs with bleach, alcohol or other common disinfectants, possibly along with massive doses of heat and ultraviolet light.
Noting that disinfectants kill the virus “in a minute” on inanimate surfaces, Trump asked: “Is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside? Or almost a cleaning? … It would be interesting to check that.”
Government scientists dutifully promised to investigate the boss’s lung-bleaching idea.
Full coverage of the coronavirus pandemic
As it happens, I, too, have a natural instinct for science (my brother is a urologist) and I have used it to conclude that hydroxychloroquine abuse has caused Trump and some top aides and allies to suffer a condition we experts refer to as acute nuttiness.
First, it is scientifically obvious from Trump’s enthusiasm for hydroxychloroquine that he has been using it himself. While taking the drugs, he has not succumbed to coronavirus. He has concluded, therefore, based on his study population (N=1), that the drugs prevent coronavirus 100 percent of the time.
To this I can add clinical evidence, derived from searching the Mayo Clinic’s website for side effects of azithromycin, hydroxychloroquine and its cousin, chloroquine. Among them, I found: “change in hair color” (Trump has recently faded from orange to gray), “discoloration of the skin” (originally and mistakenly attributed to tanning beds), “trouble sleeping” (see his overnight tweets), “noisy breathing” (that gasping during his Oval Office address), “difficulty with speaking” (whenever using a teleprompter), “runny nose,” (the sniffing!) and “unusual facial expressions” (‘nuff said).
Also, consider the mental side effects the drugs can cause: Irritability. Confusion. Aggression. Anger. Hostility. Quickness to react or overreact emotionally. Unusual behavior. Unsteadiness. Severe mood or mental changes. Restlessness. Paranoia. Depersonalization (an emotional “numbness”). Feeling that others are watching you or controlling your behavior. Feeling that others can hear your thoughts. Feeling, seeing or hearing things that are not there.
Confusion, paranoia, aggression, unsteadiness, severe mental shifts: These would seem to describe not just the president’s actions of late but those of some top aides and allies.
Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services, Reuters just reported, had initially installed as head of the agency’s coronavirus response one Brian Harrison, who among his other qualifications was until April 2018 a Labradoodle breeder.
Trump officials ousted the man who until recently led the federal government’s effort to come up with a vaccine for coronavirus, Rick Bright, because, Bright said, he had declared that hydroxychloroquine treatments “clearly lack scientific merit.”
They also removed Nancy Messonnier of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from her job leading the coronavirus response after saying (correctly) that Americans should expect “significant disruption” to their lives.
HHS has just hired, as its chief spokesman, former Trump campaign operative Michael Caputo, who, CNN found, authored an array of racist tweets and trafficked in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
New White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has “cried while meeting with members of the White House staff on at least two occasions,” the New York Times’s Maggie Haberman reports. “Crying” is another of the listed side effects.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell proposed that states file for bankruptcy rather than receive emergency funds — potentially devastating public health, not to mention millions of Americans’ pensions.
Nervousness and “general feeling of discomfort” are side effects. This can be seen in Robert Redfield, head of the CDC, being forced to recant warnings about a second wave of coronavirus in the fall. And Tony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, walking back his claim that lives could have been saved if the federal government acted more quickly.
The Opinions section is looking for stories of how the coronavirus has affected people of all walks of life. Write to us.
And now we have Trump talking about killing the virus by scrubbing the lungs with household disinfectant.
Where does it end? French researchers have speculated that smokers may have protection against the virus. Perhaps Trump will distribute to every ICU in America a case of Marlboros from the national stockpile?
Patients, after a rejuvenating lung cleaning, can enjoy a smoke with their chloroquine cocktail.
I'm not putting much stock in the theory, because political scientists and their opinion columns are terrible sources for medical advice, but it is quite interesting.

Interesting....
Is the Coronavirus a US-made bioweapon secretly deployed in China? Chinese Middel Schools seem to think so.

People who claim to have had Covid-19 back in Nov/Dec 2019 seem to be supporting this theory.

American propaganda is having the US President repeatedly calling it the Chinese virus, blocking off China, shoo-ing the virus off as inconsequential and then when the inevitable inevitably happens recommending to inject desinfectants like its the Auschwitz medical barrack then when called on it as spectacularly ignorant saying it was sarcasm which didnt fit the situation.

Personally under the impression it is not even actually per se State Propaganda
a middle school would not be allowed to publish a dissenting view but it is likely a poem by one of the students; being a school paper
rather than demonstrating a party messaging it reflects on how even in China, kids are impacted by meme culture as the view it was started by the US was spread on social media sites and the government just "didn't bother" to get rid of it like they get rid of dangerous information
