COVID-19 Pt. 3: Nursing Homes and Long Term Care Facility Deaths “With” OR “From” Covid Facts

It has consistently been
reported that nursing homes and long-term care facilities account for 40% of
all Covid-related deaths, but how do these numbers actually breakdown? Is the
general population aware that they are including these deaths in the total mortality
data if they test positive but it’s not the cause of death, as Dr. Deborah Birx
from the White House Covid-19 Task Force has stated, and as the CDC disclosed? Hospitalization
data has also been distorted and is incredibly misleading, which was
covered in part
1 of this report, including the fact that the 2017-2018 flu season far
exceeded Covid hospitalizations, and the CDC
is grouping pneumonia, influenza, and covid (PIC) for death totals, which
was covered in part
2 of this report. Both contain critical data points put out by the CDC and
the Covid Tracking Project to understand the real numbers. Perhaps the worst
part to all of this is the fact that over 46% of nursing home residents suffer
from depression, and these lockdowns have taken a toll on the elderly and their
families.

Dr. Deborah Birx stated, “if someone dies WITH Covid-19 we are counting that as a Covid-19 death,” and the Illinois Director of Public Health has stated the same, explaining that even those in hospice care who have a few weeks left to live will be counted as a Covid-19 death if they tested positive, or if they clearly died of a totally unrelated cause. In fact, even if some died from a gunshot wound or in a car accident, if they tested positive for Covid (oftentimes postmortem), they are counted as a Covid death. The problem with this is that the PCR tests are unreliable and have produced countless false/positives, which is perhaps indicative as to why 90% of all people who test positive are asymptomatic.
