Civid-19 has one positive result

[Major Tom]

No one is dying of the common flu, heart attacks, pneumonia, strokes, etc anymore! My neighbors wife passed 3 days ago. She had a history of COPD. She did not ever leave her house for the last 14 months. Her death certificate said in part "caused by complications with covid-19". Such BS! Hospital gets more federal money that way!

You saw the death certificate? And she's only 3 days passed? Iowa sounds like an amazing place for paperwork.

Sorry for your neighbor's loss.

I suppose it's what was said by the hospital staff and in the initial paperwork to release the deceased.

[togor]

COPD is a co-morbidity to Covid-19 without a doubt. But people can live with it until Covid-19 comes along and is too much to handle.

[JB White]

I believe you, and I'm willing to wager you didn't get that impression from a stack of official death certificates. Did you?

[togor]

Some folks want to emphasize the lethality of Covid-19, some want to de-emphasize it. I fall into neither camp.

Well Major , hospitals might get more for a covid death .... that might be a fact.... but it's not the "most important" fact .

The most important fact is that the death rate in the United States alone spiked 15 % over the previous year ...... you going to tell us Covid had nothing to do with that?

You telling us you don't believe the Doctors prognosis and therefore the vaccines and masks are bullchit ?

I'll go out on a limb here and say that covid likely had something to do with that 15 % spike in deaths.... in this country alone.

Sandpebble, yes covid did have something to do with the deaths, but like in all of nature it took out the weak link. like it or not that is the way life happens.

So... what are you saying... ? lets take the woman mentioned in the original post who died ....

Obviously she was a weak link, why did we even waste our time taking her to the hospital ? Why try to save anyone with an illness since they are weak links ?

Don't want to bother fighting covid why bother with cancer ?....... just askin

funny,

I know a couple folks that passed during the pandemic because the hospitals were not doing any elective surgery,

so one friend's mother died because the hospital considered an operation for Cancer elective,,,
