No it is not. You can verify that if you check the 2020 death stats for heart attacks. (here) Stats show that deaths from heart attacks were up slightly in 2020 over 2019. Not down, as they would be if deaths were being recategorized. Cancer and other causes are the same. So the normal deaths happened, and about 500,000 on top of that in 2020. That's a 17% jump over 2019. Normal year over year increases are 0.3% - 0.7%. Not 17%.
Thanks for the summary.
Interesting numbers.
My brother-in-law just got off the ventilator on Friday after two weeks. He’s completely zonked. Don’t know if he’s gonna be a functional human again or not.
“No it is not.”
Disagree. I know one person who died from COVID. He had a massive heart attack 10 years earlier and was told he’d be lucky to live 5 more years. Last year, he collapsed in his front yard, clutching his chest. He was rushed to the hospital but never regained consciousness.
He tested positive for COVID. His death was attributed to COVID. According to his widow. Not a heart attack.
