Second rule of politics...when in trouble request more money to solve the problem.
By that logic anyone who dies anywhere on the planet where the virus is present should be counted as a coronavirus death statistic. That is sophistry.
Yup. I heard it was about 12% of reported deaths are actually china virus.
Nonsense. They are simply attributing the deaths to infection if the patient had comorbidities. If you die on a ventilator from ARDS, the fact you had CAD as well makes you more likely to die, but the infection is what started the cascade to death.
Meanwhile if you die UNTESTED, they don’t attribute the death to Covid.
China played that game very well to keep their reported numbers of deaths far below the actual numbers.
