People with underlying health issues and especially those that have significantly exceeded the average life expectancy may die of this or something else but it will be reported as Covid. The same number games get used when an 85 year old man with heart disease dies from a heart attack while using a chainsaw after a hurricane but it is attributed to “death by hurricane.”

This is such crap. When a human dies because they had heart disease and then got Covid, THEY DIED BECAUSE OF COVID! Why is this so hard to understand? Their life prematurely ended because covid came along and mingled in a nice cocktail of (insert underlying condition). They would still be alive right now. It’s that simple. They may have died tomorrow because of crappy life choices, but that’s not what happened. My father was in Vietnam, his lungs are ****ed, should he just take it in the shorts for the economy? Can we not give these people a little time? Why is this so hard to comprehend?
