Fiddling Case Numbers While Rome Burns


Crackdown lockdown downtown: fiddling case numbers while Rome burns




In today’s episode of CDC/WHO holds the world hostage and builds a new wing on its mystical temple of lying science, while trance-induced billions stare at their TV sets for the latest fabrications, we begin here—-
Author Michael Fumento sets off an explosion in his recent article on the failure of epidemic models:
“‘The ... crisis we face is unparalleled in modern times,’ said the World Health Organization’s assistant director, while its director general proclaimed it ‘likely the greatest peacetime challenge that the United Nations and its agencies have ever faced.’ This was based on a CDC computer model projection predicting as many as 1.4 million deaths from just two countries.”
“So when did they say this about COVID-19? Trick question: It was actually about the Ebola virus in Liberia and Sierra Leone five years ago, and the ultimate death toll was under 8,000.”

Bang.
Well, look, the CDC and WHO have to stay in business, right?  They can’t allow a fallow period of no pandemics.  They HAVE TO predict dire consequences.  Otherwise, some people might start questioning their budgets.  It’s a fight for bureaucratic survival, and if millions or billions of people have to lose their jobs and income and freedom in the process, so be it.

Here is a key paragraph from the CDC’s latest brain-twisting definition of a COVID case.  As you’ll see, it allows the counting of cases where no confirmatory diagnostic test has been done on a patient at all.  Have to inflate those numbers, right?  How else can an agency justify its existence?

“As of April 14, 2020, CDC case counts and death counts include both confirmed and probable cases and deaths…A confirmed case or death is defined by meeting confirmatory laboratory evidence for COVID-19. A probable case or death is defined by i) meeting clinical criteria AND epidemiologic evidence with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID-19; or ii) meeting presumptive laboratory evidence AND either clinical criteria OR epidemiologic evidence; or iii) meeting vital records criteria with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID19.”


If you spend too long trying to decipher the meaning of every phrase and term in that definition, you might find yourself in the labyrinth of a psych ward.  But it IS obvious that a COVID case without a confirming diagnostic test is being welcomed on board.  “Sure, why not, join the party.”
Meanwhile, out front, on television, and quietly in the Oval Office, petty bureaucrat, numbers massager, and interim president of the United States of Crackdown Lockdown, Anthony Fauci, can switch case numbers up and down and sideways.  He can shovel it high and deep to his heart’s content.  All in all, his job is keeping the public health gravy train moving, while covering the caboose (#) of that train.
Fauci, New England Journal of Medicine, February 28, 2020, “Navigating the Uncharted”:
“If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968)...”
In case there is any doubt, those “pandemic influenza seasons” of 1957 and 1968 did NOT result in any lockdowns.  People went outdoors.  They mingled.  They sat in stadiums.  They went to their jobs.`
