Posted by JayZeeBMT on Wed Dec 2 11:47:13 2020, in response to Re: The experts are wrong about coronavirus, posted by BrooklynBus on Wed Dec 2 10:13:36 2020. The Newsweek opinion piece asserts that "suicides and car accident fatalities are being counted as COVID deaths, when they really aren't".That is false. What the CDC is doing is recording deaths where COVID is the primary cause of death. Even if you have heart disease, or HIV, that doesn't mean you can't die of COVID. You can actually have multiple comorbidities going on, none of which are fatal, and have COVID come along and knock you off just on the severity of that pathogen alone. Put another way, a patient who gets put on a ventilator because they have COVID, will not die because they are also arthritic. It's misleading to suggest that other medical condition preclude a diagnosis of fatal COVID infection. |
