You say our claim that "US Government to end daily COVID death reporting" is false.
Because the CDC will continue to archive death stats, with a delay of days to weeks. But CDC reporting is not DAILY. It is at the frequency states report.1/
11alive.com/article/news/v…
The majority of states do not report EVERY day; many report once per week, and are reducing frequency.

Say you hire me to shovel your driveway every day it snows. Last month I did it every day. I did it "daily." This month I do it once a week. I stopped doing it "daily."

2/
You'd be right to want your money back. I couldn't tell a judge, "I still shoveled the snow daily, since all the snow was gone by the end of the week."

3/
HHS reporting was DAILY. CDC reporting is NOT. You also leave out the critical context: The remaining dataset is rapidly being reduced in frequency all over the country.

Finally, the claim that the HHS dataset is redundant is false. Please see the comments by a federal official here on their significance

The move in the US to cut the frequency of reporting is clearly part of a trend, as evidenced by the moves by the UK and the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.

The COVID-19 cover-up

🙉 no deaths, 🙈 no deaths, 🙊 no deaths

As 3000+ Americans die every single day, the Biden administration is carrying out a campaign to cover up the pandemic and accustom the population to mass death in perpetuity.

Please share this 🧵 1/
Every day for the past week, an average of 2,700 Americans have lost their lives to COVID-19.

✈️It is as if seven Boeing 777 passenger aircraft crashed into the ocean each day, with everyone onboard dead

🚢 or two Titanics sank each day.

2/
Over 900,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 to date, according to official death reports, but in reality the figure has already passed 1 million, according to “excess death” statistics compiled by The Economist.

⭐ Exclusive interview⭐

The "only consistent, reliable and actionable dataset at the federal level" for tracking #covid19 deaths ended Wednesday, a US health official said.

Please share this 🧵

1/
wsws.org/en/articles/20…
On Wednesday, the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) officially ended its system for hospitals to report COVID-19 deaths daily to the federal government, amid a worldwide campaign to reduce the reporting of COVID-19 deaths and cases.

American capitalism demands the infection of China

On Tuesday, @nytimes published an op-ed calling China’s decision to prioritize saving lives a “mistake” and extolling the benefits of “natural immunity through infection.”

Please share this 🧵

"Other countries can provide a road map that China can put into action. Denmark, Germany and some other European countries, as well as Australia, have achieved strong immunity... Community spread resulted, but it would have been inevitable." 2/

3/ If China had the same death rate from COVID-19 as the United States, 3.6 million people would be dead. If it had the same death rate as Germany, the figure would stand at two million. 3/

On Jan 6 I tweeted the CDC graph on the left, joking that somebody at the White House will change it because it looked too scary. They took my advice and flattened the curve (in the y axis).

Just one problem: 3,707 people died today, just like the graph on the left suggests. 1/

⚠️ Warning ⚠️

The US is moving to end daily #COVID19 case/death reporting.

As the US government claims that "most people are going to get COVID", there is a systematic effort to end daily reporting of COVID-19 deaths and cases.

Please share this 🧵
wsws.org/en/articles/20…

1/
On Jan 6, the US Department of Health and Human Services announced that it will no longer require hospitals to report the daily number COVID-19 deaths to the HHS starting Feb 2. A viral tweet by this author reporting this action prompted mass anger.

2/
. @DataDrivenMD , who originally broke the story reported in the tweet above, called the HHS dataset that was being ended "*the only* source of real-time death counts for every U.S. hospital."
