The latest coronavirus numbers from the CDC raise more questions on the seriousness of the China virus.
According to the CDC there were 26,557 heart attacks listed as Coronavirus deaths.
...
And there were 7,919 accident and poisoning deaths listed as Coronavirus deaths.
...
The CDC also revealed in their latest numbers that hospitals have been counting patients who died from serious preexisting conditions as COVID-19 deaths.

Hospitals get paid big bucks to make these claims.
COVID19 can and does indeed trigger heart attacks as well as strokes. Severe internal inflammation and blood clots can do that.
That of course doesn’t mean all heart attacks and strokes are caused by COVID19...and car accidents and poisonings would have no connection.
I have the sneaky suspicion that IF the NPC known as “Biden” makes it to inauguration day they’ll use COVID to announce that he’ll be taking the oath in the basement of the capitol. No inaugral parade. I’ve read that NPC “Biden” is worried that his inaugral might turn into a MAGA rally. This would be their perfect out.
Someone told me it’s in the 10’s of thousands $$ for each diagnosis
CodeToad :" Hospitals get paid big bucks to make these claims."
Follow the money !
Hospitals get paid more for covid-19 deaths than standard deaths,
because it is implied that there are more staff personnel and medical supplies used before a patient succumbs.
Federal Medicare pays a $13,000 bonus if the hospital admins paperwork says that covid was involved.... If the paperwork says that a ventilator was involved the hospital admins. get an extra $39,000..

And families with accidental death insurance don’t get the payout.
If a person with COVID has a heart attack, it seems quite reasonable to presume the COVID precipitated it. And the CDC data is very plain that they are dealing with presumed cases.
This is one example of why GP is considered a trash source by some. They exaggerate and distort the covid info all the time to support their ODD reflexive response to covid mitigation.
I think this Bat Flu is a multiplier virus. If you have comorbidities or have the actual flu it can get serious. Just COVID itself is less deadly than the ordinary flu.
Someone should tell Hoft that "cardiac arrest" listed as cause of death has nothing to do with myocardial infarction.
Ultimately, everyone dies of cardiac arrest.
One big ass scam on the American people.
According to the CDC there were 26,557 heart attacks listed as Coronavirus deaths.
I had heard that the number was 50,000.
I think all the numbers are bogus, but what really gets me is that they move around so much. It doesn't matter if I like the numbers or don't like the numbers. If the numbers just seem arbitrary and changeable, then the whole thing is a joke.
This stuff about Covid deaths are not really Covid deaths . . . PUT IT AWAY. It’s not important and here is why.
Excess Deaths are way up compared to previous years. These are Deaths of ALL CAUSES. There is no attribution of death issue. It’s ALL CAUSES.
In fact, the excess deaths exceed the official Covid death total. Why? Almost certainly because of the huge number of old folks living at home, probably alone, who get infected and try to tough it out. It overwhelms them one night/day and kills them. Then the ambulance eventually shows up from reports of smell, finds a dead old person, and takes him to the morgue. Why bother testing at that point. He’s dead.
So you get a lot of unreported Covid deaths.
They can blame the Covid & Proud Boys for extra measure.
Deborah Birx, said in April: “If someone dies with COVID-19, we are counting that as a COVID-19 death,”
You can’t get any more upfront than that.
If you have comorbidities or have the actual flu it can get serious. Just COVID itself is less deadly than the ordinary flu.
That's just not true that is less deadly than the ordinary flu - it is more deadly.
It can get serious if you have comorbidities. It can also get serious if you have none...the exact same strain can cause very different severity symptoms in different people. A friend of mine got it and became deathly ill and bedridden for two weeks...it was a very scary situation. His wife had it at the same time - had 3 days of cold symptoms - like a heavy cold, but nothing making her feel deathly ill, but she completely lost her sense of taste and smell for almost a month, whereas he kept his sense of taste and smell but became seriously ill as before mentioned.
This is a bizarre disease.
Hoft should be told a lot of things.
Exactly right. Also, in the early part of the epidemic, a LOT of COVID-19 deaths were misattributed to heart of lung problems or dementia because the doctors didn’t have the information or the testing available to properly diagnose COVID-19. There’s probably around 40,000 deaths from March/April that should have been COVID-19 but weren’t.
The REAL questions are NOT around the specific number of deaths, but about WHY those deaths got so high. For example, WHY did Governor Cuomo and others force nursing homes to accept infected patients, leading directly to tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths? WHY were elderly care facilities not provided the resources to help them protect their staff and patients from infection? WHY were the states not stockpiling PPE to ensure hospital workers had what they needed to effectively care for sick patients in an emergency? WHY did Governor Newsom in California dump tens of millions of taxpayer dollars into putting homeless people into hotels (indoors) when their normal living situation (outdoors) was specifically called out as safer by the CDC?
When you start digging into the WHY of the numbers rather than focusing on whether it’s 253,000 or 251,000 or 255,000, you start getting REAL answers and those answers don’t look good for Democrats!
