Yeah, this whole "story" has gone berserk. Most older folks have multiple health problems, and since that's who is dying, there will obviously be associated diagnoses.Do you trust kiddiedoc? I’m sure he’ll tell you that there CDC is not saying that only 6% of “COVID deaths” are actually COVID deaths.
That’s what blows my mind. Dems are so arrogant that they think they can control a virus. Then again, they also think they can control the climate so it isn’t surprising. It’s just astounding that they believe they have such control. I have major control issues and I don’t think I, or we as a society, can control a virus or the climate. The virus, like nature, will run its course.That’s not true at all..... virus has done what viruses do..... they run through the community...... people’s immune systems build up against and the virus starts to die out
At this point in the game you have to be extremely stupid or be a willfully ignorant partisan hack to believe corona alone is actually the cause of those deaths.
From a US public health perspective - does it matter that you tend to need another condition (like diabetes, heart disease, or obesity) to have a higher risk of dying? I ask because I'd say 65% or more of the adult population has at least one of those. Wouldn't you? Maybe that's too high because a lot of your obese population will also have heart disease. But, the number has to be way up there.
Of course, it matters at a personal level.
Yes it matters unless you believe someone else's life choices should directly affect my ability to do business. If very few without these additional risks are dying then we're being shut down not because of covid-19 but because of other mostly treatable conditions that have been allowed to take over our societyFrom a US public health perspective - does it matter that you tend to need another condition (like diabetes, heart disease, or obesity) to have a higher risk of dying?

What were the dates on those statements? Many from Dems are no different yet you shy away from calling them out as wellYeah, its just the Dems saying they can control the virus:
"We do have a plan and we think it's gonna be handled very well, we've already handled it very well. — President Trump to CBS News White House correspondent Paula Reid in Davos, Switzerland.
"We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It's going to be just fine." CNBC interview in Davos, Switzerland
President Trump issues his first tweet on coronavirus. "China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!"
On this day, the World Health Organization declares coronavirus a public-health emergency. "We think we have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at this moment — five — and those people are all recuperating successfully. But we're working very closely with China and other countries, and we think it's going to have a very good ending for us … that I can assure you," Mr. Trump said at a speech at a Michigan manufacturing plant.
"Just had a long and very good conversation by phone with President Xi of China. He is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on leading the counterattack on the Coronavirus. He feels they are doing very well, even building hospitals in a matter of only days. Nothing is easy, but......he will be successful, especially as the weather starts to warm & the virus hopefully becomes weaker, and then gone. Great discipline is taking place in China, as President Xi strongly leads what will be a very successful operation. We are working closely with China to help!" the president tweeted.
"I had a long talk with President Xi — for the people in this room — two nights ago, and he feels very confident. He feels very confident. And he feels that, again, as I mentioned, by April or during the month of April, the heat, generally speaking, kills this kind of virus," the president said during a White House meeting with governors.
"We're very much involved. We're very — very cognizant of everything going on. We have it very much under control in this country," the president told reporters, in response to a question about whether he had been updated on the coronavirus.
"The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!" the president tweeted.
"You may ask about the coronavirus, which is very well under control in our country. We have very few people with it, and the people that have it are - in all cases, I have not heard anything other," the president said during a press conference on his trip to India.
I stopped there and that only through February !!! What was that, about a half dozen we got it under control's? Added bonus for Trump congratulating China and Xi, who he now paints as our mortal enemy.
Trump is such a conman. Anyone who falls for his nonsense is just pathetic.
excellent point.Yes it matters unless you believe someone else's life choices should directly affect my ability to do business.

So when those people jumped out of the world trade center on 9/11 to avoid being engulfed in the flames, their deaths weren't fully caused by terrorism?At this point in the game you have to be extremely stupid or be a willfully ignorant partisan hack to believe corona alone is actually the cause of those deaths.
Per the headline we were responding to they made it sound as if Covid was the only factor, its a fear headlineI’m not sure how many people have a clear understanding of how death certificates/declarations work, but I get the feeling most don’t.View attachment 304045
Your "feelz" would be wrong.I’m not sure how many people have a clear understanding of how death certificates/declarations work, but I get the feeling most don’t.View attachment 304045
Where's the money to be made from that? Why would a drug company want fewer diabetics when their profit on insulin is so high? How much are bp meds? How much money is made when the only pills being taken are otc vitamins?It would be great if this spurred millions of Americans to stop being fatasses, but I doubt it will. The teachers I've noticed that are the most concerned are the ones that haven't missed many meals.
