From the anecdotal evidence it looks like CCP-19 kicks what ever you already have going on into a higher gear. If you have an overactive immune system - cytokine storm. Or your diabetes kills you 10 years sooner. Or your heart disease does. Or if you are simply immune compromised CCP-19 does the job itself.
Such a bizarre disease. All these extra deaths, regardless of the actual event (heart attack, stroke, renal failure, etc.) should be attributed to CCP-19.
Like the 16x normal deaths in Italy. They only attribute 4x to CCP-19, but then, why are people dying 12x as fast from everything else?
I doubt we’ll ever get real answers. Not any time soon, anyway.
I’m guessing that for some people, the CCP-19 is just the kill shot. The co-morbidity + CCP-19 is like a one-two punch. A combo death.
Those extra numbers are found in the old folks homes and sheltered in place family dwellings. None are counted in Italy or France as Covid-19, but have to be officially counted as dead for estate purposes. Probably same in Spain too.
