Many people believe we're under-counting the Covid-19 infection rate, but Italian data suggest we may be getting the death numbers wrong too.

How do we know they aren’t filling in “coronavirus” on heart attack victims’ death certificates?

Completely unsurprising. The flu death tolls are estimated from a lookback at pneumonia deaths, of which only a single digit % were actually tested for the flu virus. The final covid-19 death toll is likely to be a multiple of the numbers actually tested.

You will have to ask autocorrect. I am amazed at how often i review a post that has no errors and it goes bad when I press post. Autocorrect is my worst enema. Or maybe it’s just this device. Can’t be me.....

Irrelevant.

Antibiotics are only effective on bacterial infections.

Totally useless on viruses.

Some antibiotics, like azithromycin, also have an anti-inflammatory effect that seems to account for much of its utility against COVID-19 when taken with chloroquine compounds.

the reason I ask is it possible some would push the covid diagnosis just to get better reimbursement?....I know the docs and case managers have a way of fudging around orders and progress notes to justify certain things.....but they have to in reality.....

I have nothing but contempt for people who push fear and despair. All they are trying to do is push us into a great financial depression. a depression that will kill way more people than any bad cold virus could ever do.

Are we nearing the overload point at which one more fearful, depressing, anxiety inducing bit of data will be one too many?

Oh, hell, we hit the oversaturation point about 2 weeks ago.

Do you believe the Italian doctors are falsifying death certificates?

Nonsense. Secondary bacterial pneumonia is common among immunocompromised patients. Why do you think doctors are adding Zithromax when treating with hydrochloriquin?
