hello america!!! it's one thing to post an article you read & leave it alone---it's another thing for you to elaborate on it without all the facts being known---one action makes you appear smart while the other action makes you, well, not so smart...
simple case in point---the 6-week old baby that connecticut gov ned lamont said died because of the coronavirus---he even went on to say that it may have been the youngest death anywhere because of that virus---&, far too many of you ran with what he said as GOSPEL...
this is my problem with you---the baby died at st francis hospital in hartford, ct on thurs-3/26/20 & yet, here it is tues-4/7/20 (12/13 days later) & the coroner has yet to have determined the 'true' cause of death---HMMM???
after being challenged, the gov has 'walked back' his comments &, the 'cause-of-death' is still 'UNKNOWN', however, the damage he caused cannot & will not be undone---what the gov did is akin to running into a crowded airport terminal & yelling 'BOMB'...
good people, before you comment on the 'headlines', you owe it to yourselves & those you're trying to reach to diligently do your own homework &, while you're doing that homework, you'll probably come across these heavily glossed over facts...
1 "covid-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death"
2 "in cases where a definite diagnosis of covid-19 cannot be made, but it is suspected or likely (e.g., the circumstances are compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty), it is acceptable to report covid-19 on a death certificate as 'probable' or 'presumed.' "
please, think about this, with almost every death now being attributed to the virus, we hear a lot about 'under-lying causes' & yet, these are not listed as 'the cause of death' which makes me wonder--- why not??? the numbers are just not right...
maybe it's me (yeah, like never) but i'm not hearing about fatal heart disease deaths or any deaths because of breathing disorders---seems to me that if somebody is rushed to the hospital with 7 bullets in their brain & dies, the diagnosis is now death because of covid-19 because they came from an area heavily exposed to the virus & are therefore they're suspected of having the virus ---&, NO, IT'S NOT ME!!! it seems like this virus has wiped out people dying from other fatal issues...
if you go to the race-track to bet on a horse, don't ask the jockey about their chances of winning, ask the horse & hey, the following is from the horse...
