Covid deaths jump 40%!

Article says this is due to an "accounting change" in the U.S. and a few other countries. So... an accounting change that obviously raises death rates... as infection rates are still in a free-fall in most places.

Wondering what this accounting change is but having no luck in finding any article explaining it... probably none of my business.

What I did learn is previous practice is to count people with Covid listed as cause of death... as well as anyone who had Covid within the last 60 days whether it was the cause of death or not.

I had no idea!

Wonder why we're changing things now...

They switched to common core math. They're not as concerned with the answers being correct as they are that the method is being used correctly. That's seriously what one of my son's math teachers told me.

It is an effort to keep people focused on Covid and not start looking at other things.
