It is also probable that there is a lag in reporting deaths, so that net zero is questionable.
But if deaths in other categories are down
(granted suicides are up) then that is worth looking at.
A good friend of mine is a high ranking doctor at UPMC. He claims COVID very real and very dangerous. He also claims the death count is exaggerated. He sited several cases, including a guy who found out he had COVID, quarantined, and
ODed. He died in the hospital with COVID listed as the COD.
Mitigate. I do. Everyone should. But be suspicious of the financial incentives hospitals have for listing
COVID deaths.
COVID kills. Parsing the death totals won’t change that. But examining the methodology is worth a legitimate discussion.
Cheers and good health to your front line family members.
