https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm Republican leadership in Florida may have defeated COVID, but pneumonia is kicking their ass! Weak leadership to allow a disease like pneumonia to kill 5x more people this year.
Looking at the CDC data, this doesn't appear to be accurate at all. I see 1,458 pneumonia & flu deaths this year. During the same period in 2019, I see 1,166. In 2018, I see 1,629.
https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Weekly-Counts-of-Deaths-by-State-and-Select-Causes/muzy-jte6 You can download the table and add up the deaths for 2019 and 2020. 2014-2018 is a separate link: https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Weekly-Counts-of-Deaths-by-State-and-Select-Causes/3yf8-kanr
But 2020 is in progress so it may not reflect current numbers. Here's the provision measures which do seem to support the tweeted numbers: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm
There is so much crap being posted on Facebook. My wife has a relative who lives on the countryside in the UK. She re-posts all that stuff and never seems to fact-check. https://www.edp24.co.uk/features/tony-blair-and-nnuh-pfi-lie-on-facebook-1-6664830
Except there's no comparative numbers with other years. The site itself says the reporting there doesn't use the same data as other reporting. I quoted you numbers that are compared using the same measures across various years.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.su...ik5blhd5zdktkrxhzze-story.html?outputType=amp Seems like an accidental undercount (early deaths, didntt have tests, recorded them as "just the flu") rather than nefarious. The nefarious part will be the desperate attempt to prevent them from being properly counted, which is no doubt ongoing.
