Charlie Pride just died of “complications related to covid” with no real explanation I could find on any news site. You mean like that?

The millions of people who have died in the 3rd world from starvation due to economic downturn could be considered as dying due to "complications related to covid". People that commit suicide due to lockdowns and depression could be considered dying due to "complications related to covid". It's 100% newspeak for not covid. It covid killed him they would've said it was covid. Something else killed him, but they want to link it to covid.

Ahh that’s terrible. I listen to Charlie Pride Live at Panther Hall all the time. It’s one of my favorite albums of all time. :(

Heart disease deaths I mean

Heart disease is the number one killer in the United states- you can check on the CDC websites. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm

In 2018 Heart disease killed over 655,000 people.

Advanced Heart Failure is not curable and people eventually die because their heart can no longer pump efficiently. If someone with advanced heart disease ( or lung disease or other end organ failure) gets hit with a nasty virus, it could even be rhinovirus, or thee other form of coronavirus, the flu or develop pneumonia. chances are they do not have the necessary reserves to fight it.

Now with covid, instead of putting HF as cause of death, they are putting covid.

Thank you for this. I know the CDC sucks, but I'm trying to at least make sense of what they're stats show. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm How can I see where it shows the total excess deaths compared to previous years... and the drop in heart disease, flu, etc deaths?

Well, not sure about this years stats, but you can look at trends for past years......... I am not disputing that for some the COVID 19 virus shortened their life, and some would never have died other than they got COVID. It is a novel virus none of our immune systems had never been exposed to, and it ceerrrtaainly had some unique features and presentations like nothing I have seen. BUT that being said, there are many people who appear to either be able to fight it as they have fought flu or viruses before, or they show no symptoms. Bottom line is that many many in US are unhealthy. They are one exposure to an infectious agent away from the slippery slope.

It's one of the seniors' natural causes of death? Now, natural cause = covid.
