To explain a bit further, usually in conversation this is how this gets brought up:

"So covid has ~170K deaths, but only ~7K are without any comorbidities. I.e almost every death is just someone dying WHILE ALSO having covid, not FROM covid."

"Yeah, but if someone dies with covid and they're counting it as a covid death, I'm fine with that."

"Look, I'm not sure how these things are normally counted, like if normally the CDC or whoever, only counts it if it's the ONLY thing you die of or if they normally count it even if you had 12 other diseases at the time, but the way everyone on the internet talks about this is as if NORMALLY they don't count it as like an "official death from a thing" unless it's the ONLY thing you die of."

So to get at what I'm saying in my last paragraph above, does anyone who has more knowledge of how these things are typically calculated by the CDC (or in general if it's a global protocol), know what the standard is? Do they normally only count something as officially root-cause if it's the ONLY thing you had when you died? Is it normal that they'd count you as having covid when you had 3 other comorbidities? Is it normal that they'd calculate it exactly as they're doing it, but they're emphasizing covid for political means that they didn't do for previous diseases?

Just curious on the above points because it's come up in real life discussions and I not sure what's typical for reporting on death numbers like how we're seeing with covid.

George Floyd wasn't counted as a COVID death and he died with it.

If co morbidity doesn't matter it means that nobody has ever died from hiv/aids

I had similar conversation with a liberal lady at my part time job a couple weeks ago. She argued that there was no way to "prove" the person would not still have died of covid alone and recovered, so they should be counted in the stats. I ask her if that included the obvious questionable cases like auto accidents, gang violence, and suicide deaths where the person tested covid positive and states are counting those as a covid death. She replied that "yes, they should count, no way to prove that they would have recovered". My rebuttal was: What if those same questionable cases like auto accidents, gang violence, and suicide deaths where covid negative but the person was HIV positive, would you consider them a AIDS related death since there is no way to prove they could have lived longer?
She stormed off and hasn't spoken to me since.

I guess then what I'd be wondering, just as a reference point and example, how'd they calculate swine flu? Like, do they normally say "well with 2 comorbidities we say it was swine flu, but 3+ you were a goner anyway and were not saying that's from swine flu." Or is it more "individual situation" and what the doctors puts on the death certificate type deal?

I belive it's done on a case by case basis.

I'm guessing the globalists hatched this plan to change the reporting early on.. Before the virus was released?

Good question, I don't have your answer.

Likely they'll say because it's novel they have to distinguish it along all the comorbidities

Whatever is needed to keep the narrative alive
