Maria fought cancer and related illnesses for more than 20 years.

But it was the COVID-19 that killed her, right? I’m sure her 20 year battle with cancer had nothing to do with it...

Fake COVID-19 news, but hey, gotta keep the panic going, now don’t we?

You’re sure she would have died now anyways even if she didn’t have COVID?

If she died when she contracted it, then the COVID killed her because if she didn’t have it, she likely would not have died at this time.

At this point, I’m pretty sure if someone had the sniffles and was hit by a train on the way to get tested for Covid19, they would attribute their gruesome death to the virus.

Wow. Feel for family but to say it was coronaviris that kills her is a bit much.

Come on!

A completely dishonest, sensationalist headline intentionally designed to spread panic. That is simply malpractice.

Yeah, COVID-19 may have pushed her over the edge, but the poor woman had been battling cancer.

That is irresponsible. Corrupt MSM for ya.

You think the doctor who filled out her death certificate is stupid? Or corrupt?

Every professional throws away their ethics to fulfill a political motive? Are you delusional?

Can I assume you’ve never had a doctor as a friend - or know anything about this profession?

“At this point, I’m pretty sure if someone had the sniffles and was hit by a train on the way to get tested for Covid19, they would attribute their gruesome death to the virus.”

Unless the person was smoking a cigarette when crossing the tracks, in which case, this would be a smoking related death.

So if the same woman was standing next to the train track and a thug pushed her in front of the train, would you say the cancer killed her or the train.

The train was the immediate cause of death, not the cancer.
Coronavirus is the train.

Is it my imagination or is CoVid-19 killing off a lot of LGBTIAQ types?

Just as an aside, the flu numbers are all estimated based on the death certificates at the end of a year. Pneumonia, Respiratory failure, some heart attacks and organ failure. Flu is not a reportable disease.

Funny isn’t it. Nothing is wrapped up in a pretty bow. Because 3 weeks ago, almost no one gave a shit. And today...everyone is an expert.

I should have said the thug killed her not the train and Coronavirus is the thug.

Either way, it wasn’t the cancer.

She died with the virus, but did she die from it?

Their mind is made up, don’t confuse them with logic and reason. The fact their initial response is political rather than human, tells you all you need to know about them.

There is no more human moment than death, we all will face it... and if someone hears of the death of a stranger who has done them no wrong, and lash out rather than react with sympathy and humanity, they have serious issues.

Don’t waste your breath on them.. hate fills there hearts

Really?

It is completely disingenuous, at best, in this fear-prone environment, to script a headline stating COVID-19 killed her. What they should have written was something along the lines of, “Woman with terminal cancer succumbs to COVID-19”
