Tens of thousands of Covid-19 deaths are going unreported in the U.S., with far more missed in counties that strongly supported former President Trump, according to new research. The figures suggest that political leanings have helped suppress the true scale of deaths. In cases where the deceased didn’t have a Covid-19 test, a coroner or medical examiner has the freedom to interpret symptoms.
The true Covid-19 death toll is about 44% higher than official figures, according to this study. Other studies have also estimated undercounts of similar magnitude.
If your county coronor is a Trumper, then somehow grandpa just died of natural causes, not of the Democratic hoax. That fever, coughing, and host of awful symptoms was just natural stuff, buttercup.
