Dr. Seema Yasmin: Taking Medical Advice from Trump Is ‘Very Dangerous’
RUSH EXCERPT:
YASMIN: “How death tolls are reported is variable about state. Let’s take Alabama and Colorado. In Alabama, many people have pneumonia, die from that. If they didn’t test positive they’re not being included in the case counts of those who died from covid-19. In Colorado by contrast, people who clinically appear to have had covid-19 and then passed away, even if they didn’t test positive, they are included in the death toll. So we’re seeing a patchwork effect across the state. Didn’t states arcing their way of doing it is more accurate. The experts that I speak to believe that likely what we’re seeing is an underreporting across the states. That’s really alarming given for five days straight we’ve seen more than 2,000 Americans have died from covid-19, the case count, as you just mentioned, is creeping past the 53,000 mark towards 54,000 Americans who have died. I think it’s really important every time we mention those horrifying numbers we remember the faces, the people behind those numbers. Those are children, those are grandparents, but likely when we look back on this, we will have undercounted the true number of deaths.”
