Does anyone actually believe that 21 people died in Wicomico County because of Covid?

1021 - folks could have been in other areas, but their official residency reflects the actual death location.

Makes sense AND it doesn't make sense.

Its the world we live in today.

Thanks Makes sense to me too now 11:27. It does say the deaths represent MD residents only. If you die elsewhere where you aren't a resident your death certificate gets filed in your state of residency and that is where they are getting the numbers

While many at the top of the CDC are being corrupt and negligent with these records, there will be those with authority to investigate this cooking of the books. Some will go to prison for their false info....and they should.

Still Don't believe these skewed numbers. period!!!

It's supposed to be recorded by where they actually reside, not where they died.

Where does it say the numbers represent MD residents only? A death certificate is filed in the stare where the person died. Likewise the Covid-19 death statistics for Wicomico County reflect all deaths from Covid-19 that occurred within the county.

It is stated on the Maryland Covid-19 website.

"Data reflects cases and deaths among Maryland residents only."
