Did you guys know that in 24 states in the USA they dont report "possible or propable" covid19 deaths?
(if a doctor exsamens someone, or looks though a list of symptoms before their deaths, and think it likely it was covid19, they arn't markted as such, unless they had a test before they died)

In NYC in area's that was sometimes 20-30% of their deaths to covid.

The real amount of deaths in the USA to covid19 is probably higher than its 138,200+ reported numbers.
(possibly another +11,000-16,000 deaths, actually due to covid19, not counted because people died before getting tested)

Not shocked at all. Based on Trump comments, it seems that they're going to do whatever they can to keep reports low for political reasons. It's sad that this sort of thing happens.

But what's even more sad is Trump's messaging, declaring the US has among the best numbers in the world. Has no one told him that high numbers are NOT the best when talking about a deadly pandemic!
