County supervisor says San Diego has only had 6 "pure, solely coronavirus deaths" out of 194 listed as such
San Diego County in California has officially listed 194 deaths due to the novel coronavirus, but only six of those fatalities were the result of the virus alone, according to County Supervisor Jim Desmond. All other deaths were also due in part to previous, underlying health concerns.
"We've unfortunately had six pure, solely coronavirus deaths — six out of 3.3 million people," Desmond said during an interview with Armstrong & Getty Extra Large Interviews podcast . "I mean, what number are we trying to get to with those odds. I mean, it's incredible. We want to be safe, and we can do it, but unfortunately, it's more about control than getting the economy going again and keeping people safe."
Asked about Desmond's characterization of the situation, Public Health Officer Dr. Wilma Wooten cautioned it was important not to downplay the loss of life for those with underlying conditions, remarking "their life is no less valuable."
Desmond has been an outspoken critic of California's response to the pandemic, suggesting that leaders are "holding our jobs and the economy hostage." He contends that it is possible to keep people safe and still "responsibly open our businesses."

Science. And experts agree
And the second wave could be 12 dead -
You have to love the way Dr. Wilma Wooten cautioned it was important not to downplay the loss of life for those with underlying conditions, remarking "their life is no less valuable."
I could be wrong but I don't remember reading where County Supervisor Jim Desmond was ever saying that the lives of any of the dead were "no less valuable".
When faced with facts, rats go to the FEELINGS vs facts tact and attempt to color you a racist or some other bullshit. In this case she was trying to paint Jim Desmond as a cold hearted jerk who didn't care for all those who died. -
We’ll never get the real numbers.

Quite honestly, I think that's a distraction now. I didn't always think that. One, it's a situation that rolled out in 12 weeks. Two, governments just aren't very good at these in best of circumstances. Three, the number of reporting entities needed for completely accurate numbers is so large to make practically impossible. Four, policy makers are bending results to fit what they want.Bob_C said:We’ll never get the real numbers.
