I think if those numbers were mentioned alongside any projected COVID-19 death rates, it would cause us all to settle down a bit.


Is covid-19 going to add to this number or just replace the cause of death?


So if someone has lung cancer, heart disease and has lost several limbs to diabetic and contracts COVID-19, is it really a "Corona Death"?

How we count does matter.
