In New York, corrupt Andrew Cuomo undercounts the amount of COVID-19 deaths at nursing homes (that he caused) by sending infected patients back int o these assisted living community. Everywhere, including Colorado it seems the CDC is artificially inflating the death numbers in an effort to not only scare the gullible and placate the Democrats and media, but to justify extended lockdowns.
Jared Polis, the far left Democrat of Colorado let the cat out of the bag today on Fox News Sunday saying that the CDC artificially inflated the death totals in their state. For instance, in Jefferson County, Colorado (the 4th most populous county in the state of Colorado) and a suburb of Denver and Aurora, the official number of deaths was decreased by nearly 300 people late Friday because of the CDC artificially inflating earlier totals.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, pushed back against recent coronavirus death counts, including those conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], days after his own state’s health department acknowledged that its numbers had been inflated by including people who had the virus but died from other causes.
Colorado previously had reported 1,150 people died from COVID-19, but late Friday, officials changed that number to 878.

“The CDC criteria include anybody who has died with COVID-19, but what the people of Colorado and the people of the country want to know is how many people died of COVID-19,” Polis told “Fox News Sunday.”
Inconsistencies in death counts have been happening on both the state and national level. As of Friday, Johns Hopkins University data counted 85,974 national COVID-19 deaths, while the CDC was reporting 83,947 that same day. There has been concern that even the CDC’s lower number may be artificially high.
Three administration officials said Dr.Deborah Birx, the task force response coordinator, has pushed for the CDC to exclude from the death count some who were presumed infected but did not have a confirmed lab result and those who had the virus but might not have died as a direct result of it, according to the Daily Beast.
