It’s hard to believe these numbers are continuing to be faked or exaggerated. What gives?

No offense, but how is this still a topic? Has this not been beaten into the ground or am I imagining things? I’ve not seen a new point of view on this, including my post.
Doesn’t matter. It’ll go 4 pages and include all the greatest hitsNo offense, but how is this still a topic? Has this not been beaten into the ground or am I imagining things? I’ve not seen a new point of view on this, including my post.
is there any proof of this coding deaths for bigger payouts?
people throw this out there all the time, but i’ve yet to see any data to back it up.
if you have a link, please provide it.
reported doesn't mean they have all died in one day.
second, it has been posted about payout rates to hospitals being higher for covid deaths
you have this thing called google search, it works, or buck travster's criteria for news coming only from msm and expand a bit

the 7-day average peaked in mid july at what looked like ~210 deaths per day and has been falling for the last 4 weeks.
something is wonky with reporting 333 deaths in one day. the previous high day was 221.
new cases have been falling since mid july as well.
i think sites are putting data out as fast as they get it (probably updating automatically from some database) before the data is fully analyzed and vetted.
the point acres site also says that we had 31 new deaths 3 days ago, and that we had 675 new deaths on 7/27/20.
I’m referencing this site which seems to indicate 317 on 8/6 and 282 on 8/7:

Agreed. There’s some inconsistency in the daily numbers but the general curve has obviously increased since July. The 7-day average on 8/1 was 264, more than double from 2 weeks prior. It does seem to have tapered off slightly in the last week or so with the 7-day avg at 221.
I’ve never seen anyone reference that site. Stick to CDC or DPH sites for the most accurate data. Worldometer seems to be pretty good with get the most recent data close to accurate.
where are you seeing that the curve has increased?
i am seeing on the txdshs site (case and fatality trends tab) that data is incomplete for the last two weeks, but had been falling 7/16 to 7/29.
If you click on a particular state, it will detail the graphs specific to that state rather than nationally.
Here’s another state that just reported errors in Corona virus numbers.....
N.C. ‘reporting error’ fuels 200,000 COVID testing overcount
Is the COVID death rate in Texas trending up or down?It’s hard to believe these numbers are continuing to be faked or exaggerated. What gives?
even the RG Valley is now reporting a slowdown in cases reported, hospitalizations, and deaths, as is San Antoniowhere are you seeing that the curve has increased?

Still. Death Rate serving as the only metric for devising our health preservation strategy is the ONLY way to go.It looks to be going down. Like another poster said, looks like we peaked at deaths in mid July. Been going down since. You have to look at day of death though, can't track this simply by "reported deaths" every day.

I'm a Houston guy so the only thing I kinda trust is the private website of the medical center. The only stats I semi trust is the hospitalizations who have tested positive because I feel that is the least fudgeable. It shows the spike in Houston has gone away as quick as it came... https://www.tmc.edu/coronavirus-upd...id-19-hospitalizations-by-week-monday-sunday/

About the program
As part of the FFCRA, PPPHCEA, and CARES Act, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), will provide claims reimbursement to health care providers generally at Medicare rates for testing uninsured individuals for COVID-19 and treating uninsured individuals with a COVID-19 diagnosis.

Hospitals that treat Medicare beneficiaries for the coronavirus would get a 20 percent increase in their payments for those services, including inpatient stays.
I don't think it's necessarily money - it's power.My problem with conspiracy theories is the require a large number of people to have a secret and keep quiet about it (which I don’t believe is possible with human nature).
Hospital CEOs and CFOs may have an evil desire to line their pockets with COVID money. That’s your premise, right?
But those people don’t code healthcare transactions. For this to be true on any meaningful scale, you would need thousands of physicians to be in on the scheme.
They along, with a tech are generally taking notes on patient care, which is then passed over to a coding specialist (these people make like $40k a year). Hospitals have full teams of coding specialists in charge of coding daily transactions.
So in all honesty, you would need 100s of people (per hospital) in on it to have a meaningful impact if your plan was to miscode.
And that’s honestly best case scenario, because in all honesty the majority of hospitals outsource their RCM process to third parties. Shit, tons of coding is outsourced to India.
I don't think it's a secret, lots of stories floating around. There is a doctor in Florida who was busted changing the cause of death to COVID on around 100 death certificatesMy problem with conspiracy theories is the require a large number of people to have a secret and keep quiet about it (which I don’t believe is possible with human nature).

I don't think it's necessarily money - it's power.
Suddenly we have the medicos DICTATING every aspect of our individual lives in this society, and they are becoming addicted to that level of total control over all of us.
