That's one technique used to spread disinformation.
NSW Health made the admission back in August but it was not widely reported, possibly because of the age-old fact that good news doesn't sell as many newspapers. According to NSW Health not as many people have died of coronavirus as was previously reported to the population. It's hard to believe they were ignorant of the facts so it would seem they lied intentionally.
In Vic and Qld and in several jurisidictions in the USA and UK they admitted much earlier in the year that they were doing the same but as already pointed out you won't read about it in most of the mainstream media where most people seem to get their "information."

This wasn't an error, it was deliberately deceptive reporting. The health dept is there to give us the true picture of the threat, not inflate it and incite fear.

Of course there's an incentive. There are billion$ of incentives. Wake up, man.
