Please have a look at your argumentation:

- "I don't think this is true" - "And AFAIK most countries do actually [...]" - "In other words, this is a common myth [...]"

You present your thoughts, a theoretical anecdote and things you might have read. And based on that you conclude that it is a "common myth"?

Thank you for your critique.

If now you have something to add to the points made after "Foremost:" and "Second:" your post could have added something to the discussion as well, instead of just attacking my form.

Again, your argumentation is problematic and therefore hard to argue with.

Your first point depicts a fictional anecdote that tries to prove that terminally-ill patients with a positive COVID-19 test could have lived longer. It's like saying "If someone has stage IV cancer and tests positive for COVID-19, that does not mean he died due to COVID-19. Heck, he could have even died due to multidrug-resistant bacteria"

What's your source? What's mine? What does it add to the discussion to bring up fictional scenarios?

Regarding your second point: Source? How closely does excess mortality correlate with COVID-19? Could there be other causes? We are talking about highly complex situations that need to be thoroughly analyzed.

The "argumentation is hard to argue" because you do not have arguments.

If you do not have anything to add about the subject, please don't waste anyone's time complaining about form.

Did you read my comment?

It does not appear that they did. You offered multiple good questions.
