| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25013 | It's hitting the fan finally. Hospital records are being forensically examined and so far, 15% to 30% of non covid caused deaths are blamed on covid. Suicides, car accidents, drug overdoses, shooting accidents. Why? Because the feds pay a hospital $77,000 for every covid patient or covid death. It's a scam so doctors can keep making their Mercedes payments. My sister in law has been a hospital nurse for over 20 years and she has always said doctors are the worst liars and crooks out there. They lie about everything and when caught, blame it on the hospital staff. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

The numbers of deaths per month attributed to COVID are pretty high compared to the roughly 238,000 people who normally die from all causes in the US. If it was really that widespread, you would surely see a mismatch between excess deaths over normal and reported COVID deaths. For example COVID deaths in Dec 2020 are 26% of all deaths in Dec 2019. If cheating were really widespread, you would expect the excess deaths to be 10%-15%. COVID deaths reported so far 1 Feb 5,277 Mar 60,738 Apr 41,703 May 20,112 Jun 26,446 Jul 29,532 Aug 23,418 Sep 23,974 Oct 36,964 Nov 66,671 Dec 334,836 All deaths from any cause in the US reported in 2019 258,000 January 233,000 February 255,000 March 235,000 April 237,000 May 225,000 June 229,000 July 227,000 August 223,000 September -------- lowest month for the year 238,000 October 239,000 November 256,000 December 237,917 average |

Got a little of everything in there. He was 41, and had no underlying conditions. "It was just covid" and he "died from a heart attack" which of course he wouldn't have had if he hadn't had covid. Does this become another "covid death lie" from the right? "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

So NO 41 year old men will die from heart attacks? If he had severe enough coronary artery disease that a viral infection ‘caused’ the heart attack, then he was not long for this world anyway. What percent we should call this a COVID death versus what percent we should call this a heart disease death depends on multiple factors... which neither you nor I are privy to. Remember.... I am NOT a COVID denier .... It is a total disaster. When ICU beds are overflowing and ‘elective’ surgeries are postponed because of lack of resources.... that is BAD! But there are deaths that occur every day for a multitude of reasons. COVID-19 deaths will still lag cigarette related deaths in 2020. Isn’t THAT an amazing fact! |

Well, what I have seen from people (deniers) is "only the old and sick" will die from covid, And as for the condition of the heart and arteries of this particular patient, all I can say is the article said he had no underlying conditions. As for the number of cigarettes deaths, that is starting to sound like "there is always something worse, so don't bother with anything else". Also, along the lines of cigarettes deaths, I think there are a few relevant similarities - sick people, from covid or cigarettes, raise costs for everyone, and second hand smoke is dangerous and now various locales have laws to start to protect people from it. We should continue to take steps towards mitigating both problems, not just cigarettes because they are either "worse" or the problem is accepted as a necessary evil, or both.
