The numbers are falsely elevated. These large medical systems are getting federal dollars for covid patients and since their census is so low, everyone is listed as covid. Likewise deaths not attributable to covid, get listed as covid deaths. I have talked to several MD's who have related this information as listed. I know of several patients with terminal diseases (metastatic cancer, end-stage CHF, stroke) who died and were listed as covid deaths.
There is no good epidemiology on this now. Its all politicized for telling a story.
Grampy Albert age 86 died peacefully in his sleep in his home. Congestive heart failure issue,s for 18 yrs.
C19 got him per the medicaid doc. No proof, except for the pencil whipped COD on the death certificate......
