People have been asking me to debunk this thread "proving" that COVID-19 deaths are false positives by correlating things, but instead I thought I'd simply list a few things that are more well correlated than this https://twitter.com/ClareCraigPath/status/1317009608448290816

US spending on science, and suicides by hanging/strangulation/suffocation

99.97%

"Biology just isn't like that"

Divorce in Maine, consumption of margarine

99.26%

"Biology just isn't like that"

Arcade revenue and computer science doctorates

98.51%

"Biology just isn't like that"

These are all from the excellent Spurious Correlations website from Tyler Vigen, who also has a book out of the same name https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

Anyway, it's perhaps not surprising that COVID-19 positive tests in hospital and deaths from COVID-19 would track somewhat, so there's not really much to debunk

No, most COVID-19 aren't false positives, even in hospital, no matter what conspiracy theorists on twitter say https://medium.com/@gidmk/most-positive-coronavirus-tests-are-true-positives-60c95fe54fec

Oh, also, the second half of the thread can basically be explained by changes in testing between March and September, no resorting to vast government conspiracies required!
