This man is not a scientist and needs to stop trying to ad-lib scientific statements. Either stick him to a script or defer to an expert to speak for him.

That wouldn't work, since they are counting all non-trauma deaths as Covirus, even if they test negative. Total death rate, all causes, in USA are down, but covirus deaths keep increasing, that's mad science for you!

Gotta love the CDC, they have a purpose now, other than touting ineffective flu vaccines.

This implies you're still making an effort. You sir, have great perseverance.

Considering that widespread testing is now available so people with mild symptoms who otherwise might have been tested are being tested, it seems understandable. In general, even liberal states like NY have suggested that the actual danger is long gone

To be fair, this is basically the same way the US has measured unemployment for decades.

In other words, the unemployment rate is usually only measured by counting the number of people who are actually collecting unemployment benefits. But unemployment benefits only apply for a specific amount of time before you're cut off, so if you go too long without getting a job, they stop paying benefits and you no longer count as "unemployed" for calculating the unemployment rate - you simply no longer exist at all statistically. Thus we artificially keep the numbers down by ignoring the people who probably most need our attention.
