but you clearly do not work in healthcare....right now, a prostate patient who 2 yrs after diagnosis, now with bone mets, falls and breaks his hip, is admitted, gets a PE, subsequent pneumonia, goes on a respirator and dies of "COVID"....of course he also had a past med hx of CABG, PVD, etc....his 6 other DRG's don't matter to the resident who pronounced him dead, or the hospital coder...you don't get more resources from the gov't for prostate patients....you get paid to say COVID....this is how it works....you don't know what you're talking about....
it doesn't mean that some healthy people with no other medical problems don't die of COVID...they do....but in shockingly low numbers....more than 2/3 of patients who died of "COVID" would had died if you gave them a ham sandwich...because they have a history of multiple medical problems and they're dying....when the resident goes to the unit at 2 am to pronounce the patient dead, and sign the death certificate, they are not doing a search through a voluminous medical record to actually discover that the real cause of death was his prostate cancer....6 diagnosis's ago....
so instead, they do what most physicians do, assign respiratory or cardiac failure....which is consistently the true cause of death in 100% of people who die....you stop breathing and your heart stops....at the very end, we will all die of COVID like symptoms of respiratory distress and heart failure...whether you have COVID or not....
