| > Likewise, hundreds of health-care workers losing their lives isn't very surprising. Sorry, this seems to be completely wrong. "5,250 workers died on the job in 2018." If 939 health-care workers died from Covid-19... That's a really big percentage. > You should know that the way we classify deaths is highly suspect, That's why looking at excess deaths makes a ton of sense to me. > it stands to reason that many of those deaths are from cardiovascular disease Sorry, that seems like an extraordinary claim. It sounds like you're standing on your head to not blame the novel disease. And intentionally standing on your head to say that when the conclusion of the cause of death is Coronavirus, it's wrong. Both at the same time. Wouldn't we see autopsies saying "the cause of death is a cardiac event" close to 140,000 cases more than normal, for your claim to be remotely true? We're not seeing that. > BTW, go look at 2019 all-cause mortality compared to 2020 all-cause mortality. Can you provide the references that you found? It's not clear to me how to find this exact data. How many people who would have lived from a cardiac event are having trouble finding an ICU bed? We hear 50+ hospitals in Florida have their ICUs completely full? |
