True.
But we should all try to be consistent.
When this thing started, a lot of bed-ridden old people in nursing homes died. You know: COVID deaths. Because it's a super deadly disease. But some people said, "They were going to die anyway. COVID is basically the flu and a lot of these deaths shouldn't be counted as COVID deaths. The numbers are inflated."
That view was unpopular with some people who believed a death with COVID was a death by COVID.
Now we have people getting vaccine shots and then dropping dead. But, I guess, many people that got the shots are old or have a medical problem, and they die not from the shot but because their body conks out.
My own bottom line: as with elctions these days, people count stuff the way they want to count stuff, and all statistics seem tainted.
I would like to see the statistics on how many people who died supposedly from COVID-19 , especially early in the pandemic, were already in hospice care.
If Covid caused Mr. Alt to die prematurely it is a Covid death, even if Mr. Alt had COPD.
