I read your post and understood exactly where you were going with it. Covid may have contributed, but it may very well have been a minor contributor. There are no reports that Luke Letlow had ARDS from Covid that I am aware of. There are much more lethal bugs such as Respiratory MERSA, Antibiotic Resistant Tuberculosis and various others that you can pick up at many hospitals. This is not mentioning the most lethal hospital killer of all... negligence and stupidity by doctors and staff.
My wife is a retired nurses and department head, My mother is a retired nurse who taught at a nursing school, and I have 25 years of experience as well transporting the sick and injured to the hospital. Right now the issues people are worried about are completely out f whack with reality,
I completely agree the fear mongering by the media and government over this illness is insanity... Intentionally induced mass hysteria.
However, for folks here, and many of them, to keep saying someone died of a heart attack it can’t be Covid, is nonsense.
Severe case of Covid, means you are almost certainly suffering from ARDS... you aren’t oxygenating your blood appropriately because your lungs are full of fluid. Just like folks trying to claim they died of Pneumonia means it couldn’t be Covid.
The details of what surgery he had, are missing so its impossible to know.. but if they were trying to clear his lungs and failed and he died of a heart attack a few days later, that’s pretty much a COVID caused death.
The information from this article certainly does not imply that this man did not die from complications caused by Covid... based on the article, he either had direct complications from the surgery, he only needed because he had Covid, or he was in ARDS and had a heart attack.
Either case would be the direct result of having Covid.
I am all for calling out the ridiculousness of classifying falsely things COVID, but at least from what is reported here, there is nothing in the report that suggests this guys death was note related to the fact he had Covid.
