If the patient died of pneumonia triggered by covid -19, then he died of covid -19.

If the person has stage 4 cancer, and was going to die this week whether or not he had covid-19, then the doctor should be honest about the real primary cause of death.

Probably isn’t a ‘bonus’ for cancer deaths while still one for beerflu.

If one gets money for a certain disease doesn’t it make ‘sense’ to claim ALL deaths are from the certain disease?

Also funny how ‘we’ are all glued to our seats while being advised how to act/react by the same people who were charged with keeping sufficient supplies for an emergency?

Like if you are driving a wrecker and your job is to pull the truck off the front porch of a house, you damn sure don’t want/need the guy who put the truck there telling you how to get it off.

FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Here's the CDC directive re death certificates and corona virus:

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/coronavirus/Alert-2-New-ICD-code-introduced-for-COVID-19-deaths.pdf

Should “COVID-19” be reported on the death certificate only with a confirmed test?​ ​

COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death. Certifiers should include as much detail as possible based on their knowledge of the case, medical records, laboratory testing, etc.

If the decedent had other chronic conditions such as COPD or asthma that may have also contributed, these conditions can be reported in Part II. (See attached Guidance for Certifying COVID-19 Deaths)​

If they die one second earlier because CCP-19 hastened their death, CCP-19 killed them.

It’s what this disease, and many others, do - weaken you and accelerate your death.

Of course, this is petty quibbling. One second is a logical extreme that serves to illustrate the point. Most people that die of CCP-19 accelerated causes would have had months, years or even decades before their “normal” death. Who knows if a cure or treatment would have been discovered before then?

And people that might have had a disease, might not have died from it, except it snowballed from the effects of CCP-19.
