The Grand County coroner, Brenda Bock, says two of their five deaths related to COVID-19 were people who died of gunshot wounds.

Bock says because they tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 30 days, they were classified as “deaths among cases.”

So, u/uooobeato/ is essentially the problem with the world.

In April and May, when multiple doctors and coroners told the world: hey, we are counting everybody who dies as covid deaths: we were given a financial incentive to do so.

u/uooobeato/ missed all those videos.

When the articles came out about a kid dying from covid, and it turns out they got hit by a bus, and articles of gunshot victims being called covid victims.

u/uooobeato/ missed those.

When they asked for a source about the definition of covid, and they are answered immediately with 2 very solid sources, they can't see them.

Or they do, and yet, it somehow changes nothing in their mind as they are too busy commenting everywhere about the high covid death count which the sources they just requested and just got completely contradict without question.

Then they keep asking others for sources, while insinuating how deadly covid is, without source. Fuck off.

Here is a link to an infograph of the overall number of deaths (from all causes). You can select by state or over the entire U.S.

Go to New York and you can clearly see an big surge in deaths at the time the Covid was going through.

Overall deaths are higher this year due to Covid, that shouldn't be controversial.
