quote: ORIGINAL: marty David O. If you look at cases where there is a cause of death that is known, but the person had Covid-19 at the time of death, so it is listed as a Covid-19 death [which apparently gives millions of extra dollars for each and every case a hospital reports as a Covid-19 death], and you subtract all of these cases, then what do your estimates for Covid-19 deaths in the U.S. look like ? No, hospitals don't get millions for a COVID death. That's even more absurd than the conspiracy nonsense I've seen on the web. Plus under-reporting COVID deaths is a significant problem: listing the cause of death just as pneumonia, when the pneumonia was caused by COVID. So the public estimate of 600,000 is an underestimate. The 900,000 estimate is primarily based on excess deaths: deaths above what would be projected if we didn't have a pandemic, adjusted for various factors like essentially no deaths from flu because social distancing wiped out the flu season. So right now the best estimate of deaths from the COVID pandemic is around 900,000.

TJSweens -> RE: General Vikes Talk (6/22/2021 2:31:33 PM)
Here is something not from Rosenhouse. Metropolitan police said in a statement that cops responded to the scene after gunshots were heard in the area and found two men who had been wounded. They were taken to a hospital, but were expected to survive. Two other victims who also had non-life-threatening wounds sought treatment at other hospitals, police said. A silver SUV is being sought in connection to the shooting. No arrests had been made in the ongoing investigation as of Tuesday afternoon, police told The Post. Sounds like a drive by with multiple people hit.

I don't know how it affects the 600,000 figure, but as far as extra money paid, it makes no difference. Hospitals get compensated for treating covid, not for reporting covid deaths. And again, those state-by-state data issues make the "excess deaths" approach a simpler approach. Digging through all the state death certificates is a major slog, as is correcting for excesses or omissions from differences in state-by-state policies. It's easier to calculate the expected number of deaths, make (minor) adjustments for the lockdown, and then subtract that number from total deaths. And in the US, the result is that the COVID pandemic has killed about 900,000. It's not a surprise that the death certificate number is lower. Early on, testing was rare. And, for example, NYC had an outsized number of cardiac arrest deaths outside hospitals. Plus other states deliberately understated official COVID deaths by excluding cases without a positive COVID test (omissions because of a shortage of tests, false negatives, and testing isn't done when immediate treatment is obvious and the patient dies, etc.). Obviously that number is going to go up as the Delta strain breaks out from Missouri & Arkansas, where that strain is driving the case numbers back up. I haven't seen an explanation for the increase in Eastern Texas, but that's plausibly spillover from Arkansas.

The shooting occurred in the District’s Lincoln Heights section, where Twyman was raised. The 6-foot-2, 290-pound lineman who played college ball at Pittsburgh had previously lost two relatives to gun violence, the Washington Post reported. “My family members, every other week, one of them deceased or one of them just in a shootout or one of them locked up,” Twyman told the newspaper in 2016. “It’s just pushed me to try to get everybody, get all my family members, out of poverty. Nobody needs to be around this.” Twyman’s uncle was killed during a drive-by shooting in 2014 roughly a half-mile from Monday’s shooting scene. In 2010, Twyman’s older brother was killed less than a mile from where he was shot, the newspaper reported.
