Ther IS no excuse for this..

"Not truthful ,knowing it's not truthful
Telling people to alter reasonable codes to known lies..
Bullshit"


 Where is the lie exactly?  What I see is a truthful disclosure of data collection methods and people that don't know what that means.  It may not be the best method, but you aren't being lied to.  

 It is truthful - because it is called "provisional" and they are disclosing fully the procedure.  Provisional data isn't used for final rates, so where is the lie?

 Because you don't know how it works doesn't make it a lie.  But lets leave that part out so we can call it a lie.  Lets just pretend the CDC is releasing this information to the public as final statistics so it sounds worse.

 Also lets not read the forms so we have plausible deniability.  

 Is it the best process?  I doubt it is, but since you know, from public sources - again - from public sources, you aren't being lied to.  It may be a bad process, but it's not a lie just because people are ignorant.

 It's like saying I want to classify all vehicle related deaths as automobile deaths, including people that committed suicide in a stationary vehicle.  Then later I go through the provisional data and cut out all vehicles that weren't in a collision.

 I lied?  I lied because I literally told you I was collecting and classifying all vehicle related deaths to include suicide in stationary vehicles.  Then I work the metrics and provide a death toll in categories ranging from suicide in vehicle to hit and runs, to collisions in a segmented readout with references.

 Lies.  Even though it was right in front of you the whole time.

 

 

"Just ask anybody in a medical/care/research/study field."

 Well to be fair not "anybody" just the people that agree with you.

 I've worked in the medical field for 15 years now, 11 of them in a care and research facility.  Not everyone I work with considers provisional coding like this to be exclusively a funding grab.  I've asked about 300 people what their take is on this, 44 have responded, 44 have said that this particular coding change is not specifically enough to say that it is absolutely for funding, but could be.

 So don't ask anybody, just ask the ones that agree.

Celebrate the pandemic man, and Trump will absolutely crush Biden by saying he's tough on china, he's been tough on china, and he's the best at dealing with china like he did for 3.5 yrs.
This Pandemic gives me the work form home ability, forever, gives my work space "modernization" project a shot in the A$$ and really I don't see the down side. Better for environment, better for the company's bottom line better for the infrastructure, and better for me personally. Enjoy the quarantine, then enjoy the aftermath. Stock market will hit 25K soon and slowly climb back to 30K in a few months. We'll be mail ordering more, and telecommuting more and spending less and less and less on gas and automobile related crap. AKA $1.50 gas is here to stay, empty roads too, and if you wanna ride your bike in peace - oh yea that's there for the taking. Enjoy.

Cool.

McConnell and other Republicans went along as Party leaders dismantled the country’s safety net and ignored experts of all kinds, including scientists.
No one dismantled anything. This is a precursor to what we’re going to see. Leftist will ignore facts and analysis that require logic to follow. What we’ll see is selected stories of and lies repeated so often, they’ll be assumed as facts among the leftist. We’ll further our nation’s divide by the “Trump is solely responsible for tens of thousands of deaths and the other side will say Trump is responsible for saying millions. Neither is true but that won’t matter. It’s the game that counts.

Atleast partially due to China's cover up going back to Dec, and their current lies about their 81K infected. And the very fact that they let it get out should be reason to look at the china Tarriffs with a more favorable POV.
They're a slave camp that manipulates their currency destroying US industry, then spreads diseases destroying the whole world's economy and way of life. Tarriffs should have been stiffer, and they need to be made stiffer now. I don't know what else can be a takeaway here. Trump should have paid more of our tax $$$ to a black hole called CDC and have had the same effect bla bla bla is just Bogus Bull crap.

Here is a good way to throw $$$ at this problem. IMHO one of them Nuclear missiles costs 10 million. I'm very happy to allocate 100 - 200 mill to fix this problem. Just strategically deliver them to various spots in china.

Ultimately, it will be virtually impossible to analyze without having access to all the data. Media sites have chosen sides and will put their slant on any story. Just look at the way they’re handling the Biden abuse allegations vs the way they handled Brett Kavanaugh.
