Multiple states have listed people who died WITH coronavirus as having died FROM the virus, even when it was known that they died from other disease. COVID-19 was listed as the cause of death in some people who had not even been tested for the virus, but were ‘presumed’ to have the virus. Pennsylvania revised its numbers multiple times after coroners complained that the real COVID-19 death rate was lower than the state’s reports. Colorado admitted to over-counting coronavirus deaths and finally had to lower their totals by 31%. New Jersey now has lowered its death toll in nursing homes by 21%. -GEG

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.

“We realize that this category can be confusing, since it does change over time,” Levine said.
