Florida Is A Case Study In Media-Induced COVID-19 Panic


IssuesInsights.com

What do all these news accounts have in common?

  • “Florida Sets Yet Another Coronavirus Record: 173 Deaths In A Day.”
  • “A record 173 Floridians died from the virus Thursday, an average of more than one every eight minutes.” 
  • “The 134 new confirmed deaths is the second-largest increase on record, coming five days after the largest one-day jump of 156 last week.”
  • “COVID-19 has ravaged Florida, with more than 237,000 people testing positive and 2,013 dying from the virus in July alone.”

So what characteristic do all of the reports share? They are all false.

It is not true that 173 people died from COVID-19 “in a day” in Florida. Nor did 134, or 156 on previous days.

It is also untrue than 2,013 had died in July when that story was published. 

All of these scary headlines are based on the number of deaths reported by the state on any given day. This is not the same as the number of deaths that occurred on those days.

The difference might seem trivial. But it’s crucial because the press is using the timing of Florida’s death reports to whip up a frenzy about COVID-19 running riot in the state.

Take a look at the chart below. The blue bars are the number of deaths reported in four days last week. Notice the sharp uphill climb? That’s the story the press has been telling.

But those deaths didn’t occur on those days. In fact, the vast majority of them occurred days, or even weeks, before. The actual date of these deaths is indicated by the orange bars.

How COVID-19 Fatality Reports Are Distorting the Data on Daily Death Rates

Health departments publish two fatality figures; the media pick the more frightening one.


 

By Daniel Payne
JustTheNews.com

Seven months into the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, state governments and media outlets continue to publicize confusing, misleading data on the spread of the disease here, perpetuating fears that deaths from the virus are skyrocketing on a daily basis even as those fatalities are generally distributed across a period of days, weeks or even months. 

At issue is how state health departments publicize daily reports of fatalities within the state's borders. State health officials have for months been publishing two sets of mortality statistics: deaths that occurred on the publication date in question, and deaths that have only recently been catalogued from state backlogs. 

The Arizona Department of Health Services publishes both of those figures on its coronavirus dashboard: On its "Summary" page, it lists the "number of new deaths reported today," while on its "Covid-19 Deaths" tab, the state lists the actual "deaths by date of death."

The distinction is a critical one: The state's "new deaths" every day do not actually reflect the number of coronavirus fatalities Arizona has logged in the past 24 hours, but rather the number of COVID-19 deaths it has identified from both new and older death certificates. 

Health department spokeswoman Holly Poynter confirmed to Just the News on Friday that the state's "new deaths" figure is not drawn exclusively from the most recent 24-hour period of fatalities. 

"While we had 91 new deaths reported today, the graph [on the dashboard] shows them by the actual date of death," she said on Friday. "Although those 91 were reported today, it doesn't mean today was the date of death. Those deaths may have occurred at any time on the graph but were simply reported today."

Videos: NBC 'Doctor' Who Appeared on Air With Coronavirus Never Had Coronavirus in the First Place


TrendingPolitics.com

NBC medical expert Dr. Joseph Fair who appeared on NBC nearly a dozen times claiming he had the coronavirus, has now come out to say that he never had the virus in the first place.

"After believing he had the coronavirus in spite of getting negative tests, virologist and NBC News science contributor Dr. Joseph Fair tweeted Tuesday that he had tested negative for the antibodies and that the illness that hospitalized him in May "remains an undiagnosed mystery." Steve Krakauer reported on the developments for his Fourth Watch newsletter," reports the Free Beacon.

"My undiagnosed/suspected COVID illness from nearly 2 months ago remains an undiagnosed mystery as a recent antibody test was negative," Fair tweeted. "I had myriad COVID symptoms, was hospitalized in a COVID ward & treated for COVID-related co-morbidities, despite testing negative by nasal swab."

"I was severely ill for 2 weeks, 4 days of it in critical condition, resulting in pneumonia, diffuse lung injury & 18lbs of weight loss," he continued. "My path forward is a 2nd AB test, & follow-up with a pulmonologist & tropical medicine specialist in an effort to diagnose what made me so ill."

It now seems that Fair was attempting to fear monger the American people considering he had multiple interviews from his hospital bed and claimed that he contracted the coronavirus through his eyes.

America Must Hold the Corrupt News Media Accountable in Order to Survive


by David Blackmon
CBDailyUpdate.com

We must find a way to hold the corrupt corporate news media accountable before they destroy our country. – That’s been a consistent theme here at Today’s Campaign Update for four years now (today is the 4th anniversary of the very first Campaign Update posted on my Facebook page during the heat of the 2016 campaign), and it has become more urgent than ever. Because, as I noted yesterday, the media literally has the deaths of an untold number of Americans on its hands due to its focused disinformation campaign related to Hydroxychloroquine.

Dr. David Samadi, a Fox News medical contributor, put it this way on Twitter yesterday:

This is exactly the thing. Let’s remember that the media’s campaign to demonize the use of HCQ in treating COVID-19 provided cover to despot Democrat governors like Steve Sisolak in Nevada and Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan to temporarily ban the use of the drug for that purpose in their states. There is no question that that campaign, which included the knowing dissemination of bogus “studies” – one of which shamefully came out of the CDC – also intimidated doctors all over the country who might have otherwise prescribed HCQ to their patients and potentially saved their lives.

Video: Mark Levin DESTROYS 'Systemically Leftist' Media in One Short Montage

'The president is right, the media are the enemy of the people'


This week on "LevinTV," BlazeTV host Mark Levin exposed the mainstream media's glaring hypocrisy when it comes to the First Amendment, in particular the right to "peaceably assemble," and how they completely flipped their narrative on the topic in less that one month

"They support peaceful protests, they keep telling us," Levin said. "Except, of course, if it's people who want their jobs, and their lives, and their businesses back."

Levin played a revealing video montage to highlight the stark contrast between the media's reaction to anti-lockdown protests amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the violent riots following the death of George Floyd.

"The president is right, the media are the enemy of the people," he added. "If you believe in liberty and the Constitution, if you believe in private property rights, law and order, and, you know, all those 'weird' things we've traditionally always embraced, then the media are the enemy of the people. They're also the enemy of the First Amendment and freedom of the press because they've destroyed it. We need a revolution when it comes to the media — they are systemically leftist."

Spooks Turned Spox: US Media Now Filled With Former Intelligence Agents


After years in the shadows overseeing espionage, kill programs, warrantless wiretapping, entrapment, psyops and other covert operations, national security establishment retirees are are turning to a new line of work where they can carry out their imperial duties.

That is, propagandizing the public on cable news. Reborn as cable news pundits, these people are cashing in. So many years working in the dark, only to emerge in the studio lights of the same networks that rail all day everyday against state TV from countries that America hates.

I'm talking about people like...

Video: Media Prepare Massive Public Relations Campaign to Spin Spygate


What’s unusual about the McCabe hiring is that CNN is intentionally overlooking why McCabe is no longer at the FBI. McCabe was fired by Jeff Sessions at the recommendation of Michael Horowitz. The IG’s office had demonstrated after an exhaustive investigation that McCabe had repeatedly lied about leaking information from active investigations to the news media. McCabe is being given this platform now for one reason only...
