Suppose an 85-year old man died of heart failure. He was overweight, diabetic, and had four heart surgeries.
He also is found to have had the coronavirus.
QUESTIONS:
1. What is the official cause of death?
2. Who determines ‘cause of death’?
3. What are the guidelines for determining COD?
4. Do these guidelines vary by state? By country?
5. Is it possible to have more than one COD? (If so, doesn’t this skew the numbers?)
6. Are percentages used? For example: His death is attributed 70% to his heart condition, 20% to diabetes, and 10% to Coronavirus.
7. Has there been a study or any statistical research done on this? Perhaps an audit?
8. Has anyone heard the media ask these questions?
Numbers by age of deaths are meaningless unless you know the number by age of the base and infected groups.
“And none over 100! Strange bug!”
Yea, I like to have some fun here once in a while. Did you see my post bitching about women deciding to have a baby NOW, in the middle of this pandemic, when the hospitals are packed?
These are over the numbers. The problem is the overwhelming numbers all at once the overwhelms the system (Whether single-payer or private, doesn’t matter - there are only so few ICU beds everywhere)
Mostly i think they are reporting death while you are positive for coronavirus, unless the death is clearly unrelated, like you got hit by a car
