It appears these assholes “accidentally” boosted the coronavirus death numbers by 200. But they got caught. It seems she/he/it Rachel Levine can’t be trusted. What a surprise. When multiple states, run by Democrats, keep adding deaths to make this pandemic appear worse than it really is, you need to wonder about the true agenda.
Pennsylvania has corrected its coronavirus data multiple times over the past week to account for irregularities, according to new reports.
Earlier this week, Pennsylvania started to include “probable deaths” in its fatalities. As a result, the total number of coronavirus deaths grew by 276, then 360, in successive nights, almost doubling the number of deaths in the state in two days. The Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) subsequently removed 200 deaths from its count after facing mounting questions about the accuracy of the count.
Health Secretary Rachel Levine spoke to the Philadelphia Inquirer about the initial decision to include probable deaths, as well as the decision to later remove those from the count.
A “probable death” is one that a doctor believes is caused by COVID-19, even though the patient is never tested for the virus.
Probable cases make up <2% of total cases + give us an idea if something is happening in an area that needs investigation.
We rely on CONFIRMED case counts to make data driven decisions. As we work to move regions from red to yellow, we use confirmed data to base decisions.
— PA Department of Health (@PAHealthDept) April 23, 2020
“We realize that this category can be confusing, since it does change over time,” Levine said.
“At times, there are things we need to review, and potentially revisit the way the data is being analyzed,” she said. “And this is one of those times.”
Levine clarified that both spikes in numbers due to “probable deaths” included deaths that occurred days, even weeks earlier.
The discrepancy initially came to light weeks ago when coroners reported that their numbers did not match what the DOH reported.
“There’s a discrepancy in the numbers,” Charles E. Kiessling Jr., president of the Pennsylvania Coroners Association and coroner in Lycoming County, told the Inquirer. “I’m not saying there’s something going on… I’m not a conspiracy theory guy. But accuracy is important.”
“This is why I’m so upset,” Kiessling added. “Our job is to investigate… We do this every day.”
Kiessling said it was a matter of public safety that the DOH clarify the discrepancy. Coroners have complained over the past month regarding discrepancies in the death figures.
The DOH initially claimed that a computer glitch caused an issue with reconciling multiple reporting systems and the “culmination of that data-validating effort.”
“We will now be reporting probable deaths related to COVID-19 in addition to confirmed deaths,” Levine announced Tuesday, but department spokesperson Nate Wardle told the Inquirer that “probable deaths” had been included in the count far earlier than that.
He later retracted his statement, saying the department only started to include “probable deaths” starting Tuesday, when Levine made the announcement.
As of early Thursday, Kiessling said the DOH had not yet reached out to his office about the matter. Levine later said she would contact coroners next week, giving the department time to understand “the different nuances” of the issue.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, Admin.
Could you please place a large font, bold typeface warning before attaching such horrific photos to a news story or editorial content. It is something I think even the most stalwart TBP readers would appreciate as a precaution. Think of the maladies you could prevent:
– Projectile vomiting.
– Loss of sphincter control.
– Choking.
NOw I have to run out to fetch some more bleach for my emergency eye wash.
I can always spot a racist liberal lesbian s mile away and that dude is one
I’m a lesbian and I don’t look anything like that bad.
Its a MAN, BABY!
Don’t ask, don’t tell.
Don’t ask? My first instinct when I saw that was to run, run far away……
Flea: Wait! You’re a lesbian? You mean you were lying to me all this time? My heart is broken.
Mygirl.
It happened in Nam. I got an emergency transfusion from a lesbian WAC.
Prior to that I only liked girls a lot. Now they’re all I ever think about.
For the only time in my 70 years I’d turn down a blow job.
UGH!! That face again.
I have an off topic question about “States run by Democrats”. Whatever happened to Pensy and Michigan? I thought they were getting redder by the year. Now they’re run by Prog crackpots.
Its a face only a woodchipper could improve.
Our governor wants to join the cool club with NY & NJ Governors. He tries to rack up progressive points anytime he can (Tranny, gun control, etc). D’s control the state via statewide elections but when it is broken down into smaller electorates they don’t.
Just last year they redrew the congressional maps via State Supreme Court which is elected to redraw some districts to change winners. Guess what party controls that court?
PA is lost and I cannot get out of here quick enough.
Dirt
It’s getting blue everywhere. One holdout just south of you is W.V.. The winters in S. Dak can be brutal but they always buck the Feds on guns and lockdowns. Forget MT because the blue army is relentlessly moving in.
It will be in the Appalachians for sure. VA is lost and NC is slipping fast. Leaning hard toward GA and TN right now.
*I’m Dirtperson Steve on a different browser.
I live in the communist state of MI. It went to hell in a hand basket a long time ago. Here the people are crazy enough to outlaw, put you on the sex offender list, if you get caught pissing outside. Never mind both genders have nature calls at unexpected moments. We make morning doves illegal to shoot with a constitutional amendment when it could just be written into the game laws. We shutdown childrens coolaid stands because it is against the health dept guide lines. I am sure the list can go on and on. I would apologize for these f-in idiots but that would be futile. The only fix for stupid is to let it catch fire and let it burn to the ground. What can I say?
O.T.
I thought it wasn’t that long ago that Reps took all three branches and turned MI into a right to work state about the same time as Indiana.
Under the present governor you have a right to open your door if you first get her permission from one of the many departments of state that watchdog everything. This state use to be teaming with industry and business. Why did they all leave? Right to work is good for whom? You can’t bid on a state contract without paying union scale. You now can’t do low voltage cabling unless you hold an electricians license. I am for licensing guidelines for maintaining quality and uniformity but, not for restriction of right to work. My point is this is a union state with a socialist base for governance. If anyone doesn’t think so please come here and open a business that actually produces a product that raises the standard of living for folks. After you are done being taxed to death, regulated out of existence tell me it was a good move.
O T
I don’t disagree with that. I was under the impression that they had flipped red not that long ago and went right to work like Indiana. I must have been thinking of some other state.
Don’t forget we gave you Romney.
Detroit, Flint, Wayne Co, Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo, and oddly enough Marquette Co in the U.P. are solid blue and contain a large population of minorities and brainwashed college liberals.
The rest of the state is red.
Everything in the lower half of the lower peninsula is blue except for a few hot spots of red. The red voters are mostly folks in the rural areas. I was surprised to see Trump taking the state when he did.
It loves big death counts.
Thanks, I needed the laugh.
Yankee wimenz are not attractive if this is indeed a female or even human.
Why am I suddenly humming “Tiptoe Through The Tulips”?
He/She could easily be his kid going by looks. Poor thing. He couldn’t get laid in prison.
I was originally going to say that Tiny Tim was a much more attractive guy than this thing….then I pulled up a picture of him:
Hey, at least his appearance on TV didn’t scare me when I was a kid.
You were a tough kid.
This morning in Australia it was breathlessly reported on our idiot news services that we had had another corona virus death overnight, bringing total Australian deaths to 75.
It turned out this new “corona virus victim” was a 96 year old woman with multiple prior health issues which were being treated in a nursing home.
There is clearly an agenda at play in the over-reporting of these cases, in order to justify the totalitarian lock-downs that have been implemented by what are supposed to be western democracies.
Here’s the head of the Illinois Department of Pubic Health…no better there.

And don’t forget Birx in her own words:
By the way, both of these links will really shut up the idiots who live by these bullshit statistics.
“both of these links will really shut up the idiots who live by these bullshit statistics.”
You’re dreaming.
It’s a nice dream, mind you; but ….
I posted on here the other day that all the WuFlu problems are downstate or in the prisons. The north-central region had no deaths and very few cases. Tranny was trying to change those numbers and the Lycoming County Coroner caught him/her/it.
One reason they want to continue the lockdown is that courthouses are closed so sheriffs cannot issue new concealed carry permits. We’re at 7 weeks now. There’s a lot of backdoor agenda going on for sure.
It appears to me the take down is under way. We’re watching the death of western independent democracies ( I’m using the term loosely). All that’s needed is another major false flag on the scale of 9-11 and we’ll wakeup to the NWO for reals. One global govt.
The question to be answered is will middle America fall or fight?
I don’t think that I have ever posted a nastier picture on Friday Fail.. Don’t worry, I won’t do it…you hope…
It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose.
I think his hair is more purdy than the it from PA.
Just wondering,is it safe to take a shower or should I just keep washing me hands?
Just don’t fart in the bathtub. Farts carry coronavirus, I’m told; and I think a tub-fart might infect all living things and possibly some sort of rift in the time-space continuum.
I Hate The Media………………
The media focuses on bullshit and distorts the truth. Why?
Because just like the Russian investigation, the Ukraine bullshit, the Impeachment, they know they are wrong, so they double down as a bluff and end up terrifying the majority and we end up with millions of Karen’s……
Fucked up and bullshit.
I would say. I will trade you my governor here in NY for that. But man!!!!
I love Admin’s sense of humor! Putting a photo of some weird tranny up as the director of the Pennsylvania Department of Helath is pretty funny, although I am sure the real Ms. Levine does not think so! In any case, of course these Democrats are lying about the death toll. They are desperate to use this to take Trump down and to frighten the sheeple into accepting any crazy Commmie scheme to herd the dumb masses along to the slaughter pen. Despite the turly heroic efforts of the mainstream news media to hide the facts, the truth is bubbling out all over. Many, perhaps most, “corona virus deaths” are either unrelated to the virus or are incidental to it. This whole thing is a giant fraud. New York got hit pretty hard. That is true. Why? It is a dirty, overcrowded shithole for the most part, full of obsese, unhealthy minorities who all ride the subway. Case closed. As for that buffoon Cuomo, why B grade gangster movie did they find him in?
“Rachel” Levine was born RICHARD. He’s a divorced father of two. Such a mentally confused individual should not be allowed to practice medicine (he’s a pediatrician) let alone decide public health policy.
His kids must be proud of the old “man”.
Covid 19 is industrial grade bullshit that destroyed millions of lives and will leave scars on the economy for decades to come. The people who perpetuated this nonsense, from Donald Trump on down should be held accountable in Federal and state criminal courts all across America .
A pox on them all.
Here is all you need to know about the great pandemic that wasn’t.

This is a great vid. Somewhat long, but highly recommended, esp. to hear the whiny journalists keep trying to get one over on the docs.
ehhh.. close… but these guys are just clinic doctors who haven’t seen many cytokine storm patients.
not quite the smoking gun to hush deranged lockdowners.
