A young Florida resident who died in a motorcycle accident is included in the state’s official COVID-19 death count, a state official reveals.
FOX 35 News in Orlando discovered this after asking Dr. Raul Pino, Orange County Health Officer, about two young COVID-19 patients in their twenties who died and if they had any pre-existing conditions that contributed to their death.
“The first one had none. He died in a motorcycle accident, “said Pino.
Despite this shocking response, Pino was unaware that this person’s data was removed from the state account when asked.
“I don’t think so. I have to double-check,” replied Pino. “We were arguing, arguing, or trying to argue with the state. Not because of the numbers: they are 100 … it makes no difference if they are 99, but the fact of that the individual did not die from COVID-19 … he died in the accident. “
Despite this, Pino speculated that COVID-19 may have been a contributing factor to the fatal accident.
“But in reality one could argue that it could have been COVID-19 that caused it to crash. I don’t know the conclusion of that.
Florida is one of several states whose coronavirus data has recently been questioned. Analysis has shown that recent Florida case numbers could be inflated by as much as 30 percent. In April, it was revealed that New York City counted the deaths of people who never tested positive for COVID-19 as part of its official totals.
These and other stories raise serious questions about the accuracy of the reported coronavirus data. Are cases and deaths inflated? If so, for how much? Is it intentional?
We deserve answers.
