‘About 29 Duplicates’ Removed from Colorado COVID-19 Death Statistics

Share This!

Denver, CO – “About 29 duplicates” were removed from the Colorado COVID-19 death statistics by the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE).

This happened after the CDPHE added “equivalent” deaths to the total COVID-19 death count for Colorado.

*You may notice that the cumulative number of deaths went from 674 on April 24th, to 672 on April 25th. This is due to the fact that a portion of “probable deaths” gathered from death certificate data were entered as duplicates. There were about 29 duplicates and they have been removed today.

So, the CDPHE added unconfirmed deaths to the Colorado COVID-19 total death count. When they did this, they FAILED to remove duplicates before making the addition.

Total deaths are currently listed at 680 as of this writing.

On top of that, they did not even confirm the exact amount of duplicates they mistakenly added to the total!

This kind of mishandling of data is unacceptable. There is absolutely no reason to not check for duplicates before adding additional deaths to the total.

If something as straight forward as checking for duplicate data points is not being done by those leading the COVID-19 crisis response in Colorado, it calls the entire response into question.

Is other misleading information is being published without verification?

Are Coloradans getting the full story as they suffer mass job losses and economic turmoil?

Can Coloradans trust their so-called leaders (tyrants) like Governor Jared Polis? Is Polis even receiving quality data from the CDPHE?

This is a bad look for an administration responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of jobs.

  1. Since so many jobs are deemed non essential how about permanently closing all those government offices that were deemed non essential.

  2. Who count?
    If Colorado official authority is so “Arithmetic Challenged” as to be incapable of an honest tally, is state government tantamount to legislatively “legalized crime” adding up to the sum of all fears?
    These are not mere errors.
    Too many “coincidences” defy statistical probability, not to mention half a whit of good sense.
    This won’t last long.
    Always this has been as shall be always.
    Sic semper tyrannis.
    One way or another, unforeseen consequences of simple natural balance shall restore some reasonable order as just in the valid rule of law, among other things.
