What if these people really don't have coronavirus? what if they are misattributing things like heart attacks, the flu and other issues as coronavirus deaths to pump up the numbers?

What I mean is having pre-existing conditions may not make you more susceptible. How do we know if they are adding in anybody who dies for whatever reason?

I'm not saying the wu flu isn't real or taking out people with pre-existing conditions, I'm thinking if they're adding everybody in who dies for almost any reason as a coronavirus victim it might look like pre-existing conditions play a bigger role than they actually do.

You're trying to approach the issue from a neutral stance, that's good. However, the way they are reporting fatalities it doesn't matter if you had covid, recovered, and then died in a car crash. You still count as a covid19 fatality. It doesn't matter if you had a heart attack, were not tested, and the doctor "felt" like it could have been caused by covid so he mentions it as a possibility in the paperwork. You now count as a covid19 fatality.

When it's all said and done, we will be able to go over the cases and have a better picture of exactly who died of what and which cases weren't even related. But the immediate numbers during the crisis are all being faked to stir up the public into a frenzy. That's the point. It's what the media has already done and now the people at the center of this are doing the same thing. Fake information, get the response we want, redact later after it doesn't matter anymore.

We're actually running about 57 death fewer than last year, as of today.
