My wife has a coworker who’s husband was admitted to the hospital a few days ago, diagnosed with COVID-19. He died yesterday. 36 years old. Apparently they had given him the malaria “cure”. He was a DJ, so had been around who knows what crowds. As a local musician here in SWFL I ha e friends who knew him, some texted me last night that DJ Griff Gotti had died from COVID-19.
Now my wife’s trying to keep the other gals at work (senior living community) from panicking. But I can tell she’s a little worried too. Since this thing started, I lost every bit of work as a entertainer, while simultaneously she had her workload double...maybe triple. Total insanity at her work, impossible hoops to jump thru from every local and state bureaucracy (including the post office) and panicked residents, their family members (who can’t visit) and employees.
I feel like there’s something off about this whole thing where this 36 year old local guy dying of COVID, maybe I’m wrong, but I can’t put my finger on it.
Now I’m not saying this is the case here in Ft. Myers in this instance, but here’s what I think may be happening in towns like this around the country over the next couple weeks: People are dying of all kinds of stuff, like they do every day, year round. So, hypothetically let’s say you have a overweight dude, who has high blood pressure and lives a sedentary lifestyle, uses illegal drugs occasionally. Let’s say this person also has a underlying heart issue, like an annurism, that he is unaware of. The guy has a cough and a headache, goes to a testing station and gets tested. When the test result comes back positive he’s feeling pretty rough and is admitted to hospital. Later put on a ventilator. When he dies, the only thing you’ll hear is he was admitted with COVID-19, and now he’s dead. The implication being the Caronavirus killed him, did it really or, would he have died if it had been the regular flu due to his other conditions?
I don’t know. A few days ago I thought we would not see anyone we knew die from this thing. Can’t necessarily say that anymore.
I still have questions about the test, with a lot of false positives reported. Agree with your concern. What if most people carry the piece of RNA amplified by the RT-PCR, then get tested when ill, and obviously he died of COVID-19. My post of CDC approved tests within the last weeks state that some of the kits coming online are for COV-2.

I think it would also depend on just how critically ill he was at the time he was given the drug. Unfortunately, it might have been too late to begin with. So it wouldn't be unusual in that case.
If he had ever had a cigarette in his life it would also be considered a smoking related death. Gotta inflate the numbers.
Ohhh man. Prayers UP for all y’all!
Did Mr G the DJ have any other health conditions?
good questions:
