No, it is actually worse than that: Only 9800 deaths from COVID occurred in people who had no other diseases than the Wuhan flu itself.
So if I shoot a man with diabetes, it’s not murder because no death has occurred? Or it just doesn’t count because he already had diabetes?
We’ve known since April that most of the people who die from this are people who have other underlying health conditions. Don’t know why it’s suddenly being treated as some bombshell news.
People who have diabetes, hypertension, etc. live for DECADES with those conditions. Everyone will eventually die from something. The point is that 180,000+ people in the US have died THIS YEAR because of COVID-19. The excess mortality figures show that much.
Which is not a very significant fact. Just because you also have some other condition does not mean you don't die from COVID19.
I have no confidence in that number either. If a person gets hit by lightning or a truck there is little doubt about the cause of death. But when a person dies of pneumonia, that person could be loaded up with a whole zoo of viruses, funguses and bacteria. Was there an autopsy in each case? Did anyone conduct a census of every potential pathogen in the victim? Does every doctor or coroner that assesses a death have the same levels of skill, dedication, resources, politics, interest, ethics etc?
And then there's the federal money motivation for a corona diagnoses in many cases. The numbers are as cooked as they can be.
