And I'd say we have a lot of members here who are over 60 with other co-morbidities. Sure, someone who appears healthy can die from covid and they can die from regular pneumonia too.



Covid death higher than historical flu because of rampant obesity and poor diet lack of exercise. Next time you go shopping look at what shoppers put in the carts and all of their obese masked children throwing sugayr snacks in the shopping carts


That is very true ribka. We are a country full of lardasses.


COVID-19 death counts are much higher than flu deaths because hospitals are paid to dx Covid deaths when people who die of the flu are dxed with COVID-19. Why, because the test doesnt detect only COVID-19.

People with a cold who die of a heart attack are dxed as dying with COVID-19 too. Because the test showed the presence of a Corona virus.

Ditto those dying of cancer and pneumonia.

What? $8,000 more govt pay to have dealt with a Covid pt? $32,000 more if they died on a respirator? $15,000 more if they cane in the hospital ER and were dxed with COVID-19 and admitted for tx.
