“A person around the age of 80 has a ~15% chance dying because of or with the crud.”
That “of or with” phraseology is also suspect. Here in CO, “with” included “shot twice in the chest.” The number of fatalities accurately attributable to the ‘rona is unknown, but is surely much, much smaller than the deep state is telling us.
My take on this covid business is they used it to take out Trump and bailout blue states. The MSM is happy to play along.
