Imagine if you will a world where every human has had their lives ruined or otherwise halted under the pretense of some catastrophic event. Imagine if the people tasked with monitoring the  catastrophic event were actually just reading numbers off a computer screen without checking anything else.

Texas Department of State Health Services said on Twitter that an “automation error” caused them to create 225 virus deaths out of thin air.

They claim this is because of a change in how deaths are counted. This means up until very recently, people have been counted as having died because of the virus when no doctor made such a determination. It’s hard to even imagine how they even determined that patients were dying of this virus if not even their doctor said so.

But don’t worry, I’m sure all the numbers are real now. We can trust them. We have the best counters.
