We know that coronavirus death counts are being inflated – we just don’t know by how much. After all, how could they not be when there is a financial incentive for states and municipalities to report deaths as coronavirus deaths? And for some states, there may even be a political incentive…
Which is why it shouldn’t come as a total surprise when a man who suffered a fatal motorcycle accident in Florida last week was added to the state’s Covid-19 death count.
Fox 35 did an investigation where they talked to Orange County Health Officer Dr. Raul Pino about two deaths of people in their 20s that were labeled coronavirus deaths. When they asked if the people who died had underlying conditions, Pino responded: “The first one didn’t have any. He died in a motorcycle accident.”
When he was asked about whether or not the motorcycle victim’s data was removed from the state’s Covid system, he responded:
“I don’t think so. I have to double-check. We were arguing, discussing, or trying to argue with the state. Not because of the numbers — it’s 100…it doesn’t make any difference if it’s 99 — but the fact that the individual didn’t die from COVID-19…died in the crash. But you could actually argue that it could have been the COVID-19 that caused him to crash. I don’t know the conclusion of that one.”
This seems to stand at odds with how the Florida Department of Health explained how they were reporting Covid deaths.
The state had told Fox: “A COVID death is determined if COVID19 is listed as the immediate or underlying cause of death, or listed as one of the significant conditions contributing to death. Or, if there is a confirmed COVID-19 infection from a lab test – and the cause of death doesn’t meet exclusion criteria – like trauma, suicide, homicide, overdose, motor-vehicle accident, etc.”
“The only thing that I can say to people is the data I provide you with is the data we consume from the state. We offer you the best data that we have,” Pino concluded, copping out.

fl hospital–covid positivity is 10x LOWER than reported–
https://insidescooppolitics.com/archives/2102
Don’t worry scientists have also figured out that Goliath, from David vs. Goliath, also died of coronavirus, so trust science.
I’m starting to even think it’s what got Jesus too…
Actually the motorcycle had covid. Since the rider was so intimate with his bike he was sure to get it. So, it’s a true report.
Waiting for Sunday morning to hear Chuck Todd’s take on the rider’s death.
Damn, that’s some bad news right there. I’ve been intimate with my motorcycles too, sometimes all the way up to my elbows. Didn’t realize I might be exposing myself to the wuhuflu.
From the looks of all the bikes lying on the pavement and in the ditch there should have been a lot of injuries and/or other fatalities to report-or is Zero using fake pictures to embellish their story?
Here’s hoping the hospital kept the corpse’s heart beating long enough to get him on a respirator.
Ka-ching … an extra $39,000 …
They sent in 5 death certificates-you know, clerical error.
And all 5 of them will vote by mail.
ZH has been a major disappointment during Wuflu, acting as something of a fear monger. I have been a reader since 2009 and the site is unrecognizable from then. Also a strong neocon/lib sentiment has been apparent for a few years now. Only useful for their financial stories these days.
Yes, ZH is very different now. More Drudge-like, and that is NOT good.
i was just talking to my brother & he told me something that’s practically unbelievable–
he has a friend who is a nurse & the nurse told him that when 1st responders have the china flu they are counted as a separate case every time they test positive–so if frank the fireman tests positive today & is retested next sat. & is still positive,that’s 2 separate cases–
i don’t know if that is everywhere or just around here–if it is just 1st responders being counted like that it would not move the meter much but i wonder if this covid math is being used w/the general public when they are positive–
I saw a report where a group had tracked a woman who was tested 15 times as positive and each counted as a new case.
Follow the money.
must be democrats, they tend to vote more than once as well
The motorcyclist had A. Common. Cold. And sneezed. Plus Harleys carry too much mass, too little brakes and the wrong geometry.
my grandma died 12 tears ago and her cause of death was revised to state that Covid was responsible.
If a news story does not pass the common sense test I do not believe it. The rest I take with a grain of salt.
