How do governments derive their official stats? More to the point, how does the US government derive its official stats?

Officially.

I'm more immune to delta than all the vaccinated people who are lecturing me. Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

You're quite the stallion.

More like a Belgian draft horse.

I'm not fast. But I can pull a house off its foundation.

Meanwhile, in Florida - Digby's Hullabaloo

It’s no mystery what’s happening in Florida right now — or why. The state is experiencing its worst surge of the pandemic. Last week, it was averaging nearly 25,000 new cases every day. The previous high, in January, was about 18,000. More than 17,000 Floridians are hospitalized with...

I'm guessing they have a mechanism in place by which these things are reported by hospitals, doctors, morgues, etc.

And how do the hospitals, doctors and morgues derive their data?

 

[zubenelgenubi]

Officially.

What's the process? What mechanisms do they use?

@zubpinksy i asked 2 Respiratory therapists about intubating for corona and they do it if they have to and they werent impressed with ur idea

Or folks could just get a simple vaccine and be protected from “the sniffles”. You obviously have no clue what it feels like to suffocate to the point of needing a breathing tube jammed down your throat.

What a fear monger. Get back in the pit

And more than likely never will

Not my idea. The literature is out there. Maybe they should focus on saving lives and not obeying greedy capitalists.

Let me guess, they averaged "c's" in RT school.

Oh boy, I'm all excited as to where this is going!

Simple question. How do they determine the number of covid cases they treat/see? Do you know?

No, I don't. Do you?

who are the capitalists they obey?

i kinda doubt they did poor in school. but it could be like modern economics where its taught wrong. i dunno

 

[Fred's Myth]

The FDA granted an EUA for sotrovimab in late May after trials showed that people with mild to moderate COVID-19 infections who received an infusion of the therapy had an 85% reduction in rates of hospitalization or death, compared with placebo.

 

[zubenelgenubi]

No, I don't. Do you?

So, you don't know how they test for covid? You don't know how many cases are presumptive without lab confirmation? How many autopsies do you think were done on people with covid listed as the cause of death?

I'd say without knowing any of that, talking stats is, essentially, a matter of faith.

You don't know? Hmm... maybe Nader can tell you.

I figured that's what you were getting at. I merely pointed out that, according to official stats given, the rate of death over the last four months has seriously slowed down in comparison to the 12 months before that. Since you like to ask questions, and aren't taking things on faith, are you in a position to determine whether each and every death listed was actually covid related? Have you used your medical expertise to look at every death listed? So you have to have a certain amount of faith in the stats. What we do know is there were 650,000 people who died during the pandemic who were listed as covid related deaths. Whether that's accurate or not who knows 100% for sure? You don't. I was just pointing out the obvious to someone who believes people are dropping like flies. Nothing more.
