Can this same thing be said about all of the posts trying to list the US with the rest of the world in comparison of covid cases?
 
There may be all sorts of reasons but we are together in this one.
See how it spread… It is together we are going to get out of this one

I can do better than that?

I point out that there can be massive discrepancies in recorded causes of death from country to country. 600,000 in a country of 331 million versus 41,000 in a country of 195 million tells you something is not right in the diagnosis and reporting.

Similarly, when comparing Covid rates by country, there’s really no comparison unless we know the testing, reporting and diagnosing are the same. We really can’t do that successfully when, e.g., we know one country is pervasively deceptive (China) that another is tremendously primitive in most of the countryside (India) when both of those countries are around five times as populous as ours, and yet their reported Covid rates are lower.

It’s just not believable, any more than the Nigerian stats on cancer are. But I realize at present it’s handy for the Democrats to make false claims against Trump with.

It may be sad, but socioeconomic differences can also make big differences in accuracy of accounting.
 
I agree about discrepancies in criteria of counting cases, also about lack of accurate data, also about testing, even about levels of corruption.
There is little data about Nigeria , but then is it necessary to bring in Nigeria? How does it help and explain our own failures? And improve?

Then you probably shouldn’t be using Snopes as a source.

Why, are the also ran by the democrat, liberal, antifa, alien cabal? I use them occasionally, as I do most sources.

I can actually follow the numbers locally, based on funerals we hold, hospital beds, positive test results. They sure seem to hold true to the CDC reports, along with the main news outlets. It is hard to argue with an actual grave.

This is a very important distinction. And I would also add that if the percentage of testing rates are not equal to within a small percentage deviation, then any direct comparisons are laughable.

And no one is accounting for the known rate of false positives either. So how can anyone make comparisons between countries??? You need consistent, equal criteria to even attempt comparisons. To do so without that being the case is just pure folly.
 
Trump as the captain of the Titanic:
“There is no iceberg. There was an iceberg but it’s in a totally different ocean. The iceberg is in this ocean but it will melt soon. There is an iceberg but we didn’t hit the iceberg. We hit the iceberg, but the damage will be repaired very shortly. The iceberg is a Chinese iceberg. We are taking on water but every passenger who wants a lifeboat can get a lifeboat, and they are beautiful lifeboats. Look, passengers need to ask nicely for the lifeboats if they want them. We don’t have any lifeboats, we’re not lifeboat distributors. Passengers should have planned for icebergs and brought their own lifeboats. I really don’t think we need that many lifeboats. We have lifeboats and they’re supposed to be our lifeboats, not the passengers’ lifeboats. The lifeboats were left on shore by the last captain of this ship. Nobody could have foreseen the iceberg.”

This is very telling
My sister just texted me this.Her son talked with another parent this morning at his girls’ school…
She mentioned that two of her friends went to get tested for COVID last week.The line was too long so they left.However they both received test results on their phone.They were both positive.
If this is reflective of the fraud Thats going on with testing,not to mention the tracking of individuals ,we should all be concerned.This is beyond the pale

In short, hearsay.
 
My husband was tested twice.

I was tested once.

There is no such thing as getting a text message as a result.

You are sent information on how to log into a portal. You log in and then get the information.

These “results” being sent to people who haven’t taken a test are either scams, or urban legend.

I get messages from the “Social Security administration” often. There is fraudulent activity with my social and a warrant for my arrest.

(It’s not true. It’s a scam)
 
Correct.They had to log in give contact info.They left before they even had the test done.Uet they still received a result of positive for COVID.How is this hearsay?🤨

Yes, there is.
I have worked at a clinic where they had someone assigned that did nothing but call people to give them results if the text could not go through.
Often without actually verifying their identity.

This happens a lot.

I have seen this work, but since covid, it seems clinics are more interested in moving quickly then they are in patient privacy.

People are very often quick to dismiss when the story doesn’t fit the narrative.

Quick question for both that so handily dismissed the anecdotal evidence…do you believe the person reporting this to have lied?
