Clearly nobody read the GAO report


Read!? Come on...

My favorite part of that ap article:
 

</snip>
 

The errors occurred mainly because of a lag in reporting data on who is deceased — a lapse that tax experts say is almost inevitable.

? Bet the next article up is how we should have mail in voting...

It's even better than that.  GAO's suggested fix to this particular problem resides with Legislative, not Executive.

Speaking of numbers.

More Than 20 Million Americans May Have Had Coronavirus, Government Says

The figure, significantly higher than official case counts, reflects the large number of individuals who have the disease but don’t exhibit symptoms

 

More than 20 million people in the U.S. may have contracted the coronavirus since the start of the outbreak, according to an internal government estimate, a figure that is significantly higher than official case counts and reflects the large number of individuals who have the disease but don’t exhibit symptoms.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate is based on serology testing conducted to determine the presence of antibodies that indicate a person has had the disease, senior administration officials said.

The figure is an estimate based on the number of officially confirmed cases—more than 2.3 million in the U.S.—and the average rate of antibodies seen in the serology tests.

So what?  If you're going to compare a country with 4 million sq miles, you should also include a large country that is in Europe.  Otherwise, it's cherry picked data to support a crusade?  Why aren't they comparing EU to the US Northeast?

 

are you dumb? 

 

EU has a LARGER population than America and has far less confirmed cases. what the hell does sq miles have to do with anything lol

 

if anything, EU is far more densely populated than America and still managed to outdo the US in handeling the virus. there is no "crusade". America should be ashamed at how they have handled this pandemic.

It's not only about population.  But it doesn't surprise me that you wouldn't understand.

 

If EU is so great, why did the hardest hit countries have double the death rates of US?

double? I'm gonna need some fact check on that

 

but it is because their hospital systems and number of medical care workers aren't close to the number we have. yet..they have found a way to overcome the virus and on the road to recovery.

Hey moron, the US numbers are slanted by THREE states that fubared the response.  If you look at NYS alone, the numbers would be at the top of the world, meaning that the rest of the US handled the crisis very well, thank you very much.

 

Be happy to discuss whatever you want regarding NYS's efforts and results.

HOUSTON – Leaders from the four largest hospital systems in Houston said Thursday that they are in good shape to handle a surge of coronavirus patients if it happens.

The CEOs of Houston Methodist, Memorial Hermann Health System, St. Luke’s Health and Texas Children’s Hospital held a virtual news conference aimed at reassuring the public that the systems are ready to handle whatever may come.

Dr. Marc Boom, of Houston Methodist, said those numbers don’t fully tell the capacity story.

“Just that number is being misinterpreted and, quite frankly, we’re concerned that there is a level of alarm in the community that is unwarranted right now,” Boom said.
