Democratic governor Jared Polis could have circled the wagons. But to his enormous credit, he ordered the state to publish the two different numbers. He told Fox News Sunday that the new approach is “a better way to inspire confidence” in the data on the total number of virus victims.
The numbers differ considerably. At the time of Colorado’s announcement on Friday, the CDC-definition tally, used in CNN’s “dashboard” and all the other media reports, stood at 1,150 statewide. But only 878 of those, more than 23 percent less, are identified as deaths due to COVID-19.

Team Apocalypse members: why should it require pressure on state governors before both sets of numbers are published?
The death with COVID numbers are different than the death *due* to COVID numbers and this is not a new criticism. Why hasn’t this been done from the get go.
And also please note the nearly 25% discrepancy between the two numbers. That is kind of significant, don’t you think?

This has been explained numerous times here, but as the wise man once said: "You can lead a Reichwinger to facts, but you cannot make him think."
People do not die of influenza; they die of the resulting complications. Ditto for the coronavirus. A typical death certificate may list cause of death of a flu patient as 1. Pneumonia, and 2. Secondary to influenza. This is true of many common causes of death.
Example: My mother was a lifelong smoker. She developed COPD. By age 50 it was all she could do to travel up and down the basement stairs. By age 60 she was on 02 24/7. She passed at age 66. Her cause of death was listed as 1. Heart failure, 2. Secondary to COPD. When metadata for that year was compiled, she would have been listed in the "heart failure" category, and possibly in the COPD category.
Deniers like the OP want to count only death certificates that mention COVID, and patients who were given tests that were positive. This, of course, makes for lower numbers which makes #COVID45 look less culpable.

Fox News has no credibility, except with Trump and his dimwitted followers?!!

Oddly enough,I saw a statistician talking about that subject this morning. He said deaths are very well-reported and tabulated in America. Since the Trump pandemic, there have been clear and obvious "over deaths' There is no doubt that the deaths are an apparent high ,far above normal deaths. There is no dispute we have a far higher death rate and no, we did not have a 5 months attack of cancer.
