The coronavirus epidemic is coming to an end. The testing has reached record levels. Hospitals are not being overwhelmed. Some of the emergency field hospitals were dismantled without being used at all. Others are easily handling the case load with empty beds. New York, the epicenter has improved to the point where even Gov Cuomo says they have passed the peak. He shows how new hospitalizations are down, the number of people being transferred to icu is down, the number of people using ventilators is down and the death rate is down. He is talking about reopening the entire east coast.<\/p>\n

Yet, we keep seeing the number of new cases spiral up and we see the number of deaths increase. That does not make sense, until one realizes that at least some of the deaths being reported aren\u2019t new and they aren\u2019t necessarily the result of COVID 19.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/amgreatness.com\/2020\/04\/06\/are-covid-19-deaths-being-overreported\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the actual guidance from the CDC:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID\u201319 cannot be made, but it is suspected or likely (e.g., the circumstances are compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty), it is acceptable to report COVID\u201319 on a death certificate as \u2018probable\u2019 or \u2018presumed\u2019,\u201d the agency\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>advises<\/a>. \u201cIn these instances, certifiers should use their best clinical judgment in determining if a COVID\u201319 infection was likely.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They then provide examples to \u201chelp: officials make these decisions:<\/p>\n

\u201cOne scenario described an 86-year-old female nonambulatory stroke victim who developed a fever and cough days after being exposed to a sick family member later diagnosed with COVID-19. Even though the decedent wasn\u2019t tested, the coroner nonetheless determined that the woman\u2019s underlying cause of death was COVID\u201319, \u201cgiven the patient\u2019s symptoms and exposure to an infected individual.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sadly, there are people who WANT the COVID 19 crisis to continue. Some of them are the people who predicted such disastrous results and they want to be proven right. Others are politicians who now micromanage everything we do and say, and they like the power. Then there are those who will rejoice at anything that has the potential to make Trump look bad, without regard to the cost.<\/p>\n

This is going to be a battle and if we are not careful the micromanagement of everything will become the new normal. Imagine a governor who thinks he or she can tell people when and how they can go to church. Unimaginable in February, reality in April. Imagine a governor who thinks he or she can ban people from going to concerts or any other large gatherings without specific permission. It does not take a genius to understand that the first thing banned will be a Trump rally. A Planned Parenthood demonstration, on the other hand, will be considered essential. We even have one governor who has banned people from buying flooring or vegetable seeds.<\/p>\n

They may not like the disease itself, but they love the impact it has on their personal power. Just think about how much money congress has already voted to spend because of this disease. Does anyone really think that will all go toward helping those who were directly impacted by the government ordered shutdown of the economy? Some Democrats where openly talking about seizing the day to use this money to reshape society. This has been the ultimate crisis to exploit.<\/p>\n

Now the COVID 19 crisis coming to and end and they are panicking. They see a world returned to normal and that terrifies them. If they can\u2019t stop this, they can at least delay it. The facts are all pointing in the wrong direction, so they manipulate the only facts that will still generate enough panic, the number of new cases and the death rate. They are trying to compare the results in South Dakota to what happened in New York.<\/p>\n

They also manipulate the number of people recovered. If the number of deaths increases and the number of recovered patients lingers, the myth of impending disaster can be sustained.<\/p>\n

But they are running out of time. Even these last-minute maneuvers can only delay the inevitable. One problem is that this is a world-wide pandemic and we have data from all over the world. Even in places like Spain and Italy, the number of deaths is declining and the number of recovered is increasing.\u00a0 When you think about it the U.S. is reporting that 614,451 people have tested positive but only about 50,000 have recovered. That is, of course, nonsense. Most people predict that 98% or more of people infected with COVID 19 will recover. People are recovering, it is just not being reported.<\/p>\n

Now is the time of the highest danger to those of us who love liberty. If we tolerate politicians trying to micromanage reopening our economy, to develop the \u201cnew normal\u201d we may not recognize our country when they are done.<\/p>\n
