I am not a flubro but there is possible validity to this point “almost all deaths will be attributed to Coronavirus over the next year but the death rate won’t change. “
There is a difference between dying WITH coronavirus and dying FROM coronavirus.
I read somewhere that that the average death rate in Italy was 1,700 per day. They are currently averaging around 700 deaths per day from COVID-19 (in theory 2,400 per day total deaths)
If those 700 are on top of the average 1,700 then the virus is as bad as it seems. If the daily death rate is eg. 2,200 per day (and not 2,400) then the coronvirus is causing less deaths that the headline figure would suggest.
My mother died on February 16 at age 92. She was in poor health and we had known for at least a month that she was in her last weeks. Had she contracted coronovirus in January, she would have died then. And she would have been counted as a coronavirus death statistic. Context matters.
“There is a difference between dying WITH coronavirus and dying FROM coronavirus.”
They’re trying hard to bump up the WuFlu death rate. There was a guy who had a heart attack and went to the hospital. He came around. Then, two days later, he had another heart attack and died. Tests afterward showed he had been infected with WuFlu, but he hadn’t had any symptoms. So they entered his cause of death as COVID-19 instead of heart attack. (Whatever it takes to make Trump look incompetent, right?)
