I knew it!
From the article:
“Following a stay in hospital for heart problems, Dave tested positive for the COVID-19 virus last Sunday but he sadly lost his battle last night”
So he was in for hear problems, but conveniently died of COVID-19.
Would he still be alive if not for COVID-19? Almost certainly. So I think it’s fair to call this a COVID-19 death.
Where it gets complicated is if the victim had other serious health problems. Would Greenfield still be alive if it were not for his heart problem? Again, almost certainly.
I’m in the camp that says if it’s COVID-19 related, then it’s a COVID-19 death. An analogy: A thug pushes an old man down the stairs. The old man does not survive. Because he’s old. Old age didn’t kill him. The thug killed him.
P.S. Red China can go to hell.
