New CDC report reveals 94% of COVID deaths weren’t just COVID; Also 90% testing positives are false positives!
Even after considering the following confessions...the numbers are still skewed, in my observational opinion.
"The CDC says provisional death counts may not match counts from other sources, such as numbers from county health departments, because death certificates take time to be completed, states report at different rates, it takes officials extra time to code COVID-19 deaths, and because other reporting systems use different definitions or methods for counting deaths."
The standard tests are diagnosing huge numbers of people who may be carrying relatively insignificant amounts of the virus."
"Most of these people are not likely to be contagious, and identifying them may contribute to bottlenecks that prevent those who are contagious from being found in time. But researchers say the solution is not to test less, or to skip testing people without symptoms, as recently suggested by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
"Instead, new data underscore the need for more widespread use of rapid tests, even if they are less sensitive."
"This number of amplification cycles needed to find the virus, called the cycle threshold, is never included in the results sent to doctors and coronavirus patients, although it could tell them how infectious the patients are."
"In three sets of testing data that include cycle thresholds, compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any virus, a review by The Times found."
"On Thursday, the United States recorded 45,604 new coronavirus cases, according to a database maintained by The Times. If the rates of contagiousness in Massachusetts and New York were to apply nationwide, then perhaps only 4,500 of those people may actually need to isolate and submit to contact tracing."

Will we EVER untangle this mess?
imo, the reports are purposely confusing to prevent the truth from being available and it should be "untangled" about the same time as the Kennedy assassination.
That's how they avoid Karma, you know.
A groundbreaking new study commissioned by Revolver News concludes that COVID-19 lockdowns are ten times more deadly than the actual COVID-19 virus in terms of years of life lost by American citizens.
Up until this point there had been no simple, rigorous analysis that accurately and definitively conveys the true costs of the COVID-19 lockdowns. Accordingly, Revolver News set out to commission a study to do precisely that: to finally quantify the net damage of the lockdowns in terms of a metric known as “life-years.” Simply put, we have drawn upon existing economic studies on the health effects of unemployment to calculate an estimate of how many years of life will have been lost due to the lockdowns in the United States, and have weighed this against an estimate of how many years of life will have been saved by the lockdowns. The results are nothing short of staggering, and suggest that the lockdowns will end up costing Americans over 10 times as many years of life as they will save from the virus itself.
The COVID-19 lockdown measures that Americans have had to endure for the greater part of 2020 represent one of the most dramatic, consequential, and damaging policy measures undertaken in this nation’s history. For the first time in its history, America has experienced a situation so crippling and perilous that long term financial and social stability have been legitimately threatened.
Calculations Show COVID-19 “Cure” Is Worse Than Disease
Standard approaches to evaluating epidemic policy responses, involving the Value of a Statistical Life, have conceptual problems and are biased towards the elderly and rich.
Using a life-years criterion as an alternative shows that the lockdowns cost an order of magnitude more life-years than they saved.
Most of the publicized cost-benefit analyses of COVID-19 lockdowns have used coarse measures like lives as units rather than life-years, which misleads politicians and the general public. COVID-19 deaths disproportionately impact the oldest members of the population, whereas the economic impacts of lockdowns disproportionately harm the youngest of the working population, who have far greater life expectancies at the time of impact.
Using prior research on workforce entrants and recent graduates entering into a market marred by an economic recession, empirical estimates of life-years lost can be determined. Extensive research on job displacement can be used to estimate the economic impact in life-years of starkly increased unemployment for mid-to-late career workers.
Combining these analyses, we found that an estimated 18.7 million life-years will be lost in the United States due to the COVID-19 lockdowns. Comparative data analysis between nations shows that the lockdowns in the United States likely had a minimal effect in saving life-years. Using two different comparison groups, we estimate that the COVID-19 lockdowns in the U.S. saved between a quarter to three quarters of a million life-years.
Every broad age category lost life-years from the lockdowns including those 55 and older.
The media and state and local governments contributed to the panic by selectively presenting evidence on COVID-19 and shutdowns of dubious benefit.
Public health researchers and health economists gave poor policy advice and made selective use of the prior research literature. They will likely be rewarded, not punished, by academia for their failure because of academia’s biases.
Public health in general is so biased and vulnerable to motivated cognition that it is not “not yet ready for policy analysis.”
A good start will be a landslide victory for Trump.
On the side supported by the mainstream media there has been a clear effort to exaggerate the effect of the virus, and , imo, that is to manipulate the 2020 election to defeat Trump at the expense of thousands of lives lost and a crippled economy with millions of jobs lost.
On the side being reported now regarding the CDC report, the exaggeration is toward an opinion that the pandemic is a fraud. This clearly is not true either.
I think that Mike Adams does a pretty good job describing the issues here:

Now, add an over sensitive test, comorbities and other circumstances like a car or motorcycle accident, etc.
Don't tell me that the final numbers are corrected via death certificate...our own Doc at Hospice stated clearly..."he's going to fill out the paperwork with the least amount of effort".
No incentive to report the truth and financial incentives to falsely report high levels of virus.
