“I’m told by some the mortality statistics of the COVID-19 have been enhanced or padded by the deaths of people who had corona virus in their system, yet died of other illness such as cancers, MS, heart failure, even accidents. If it’s in their system yet asymptomatic, their passing is still attributed to the virus.”
Agreed. Most of those in their 70’s-90’s that passed, had major health problems prior to the covid-19 and probably would have passed within weeks or months.
My friend’s father has been in the hospital for a while in his late 80s with lung cancer, on oxygen etc. He died last weekend, but they had tested him for the virus before he died. Haven’t gotten results yet, so the enhancement of the numbers may be true.
