More tests for infection here than anywhere else identify more infected here than anywhere else.
A real problem is that almost all deaths are listed as COVID, and this is because there is a financial and political advantage to claiming that. Those claims are causing many to question the actual risks (and yes, some members of my family have had and survived Covid).
Late Stage 4 cancer plus Covid = Covid. Severe congestive heart failure plus Covid = Covid. Respiratory failure, old age, morbid obesity, flu - even car wrecks get listed as Covid.
It sucks to lose someone; however, there were lots of losses prior to and after China shared its problem with the world. It is not the Black Plague - survival is high.
Finally, I would like to see the data on the Covid fatalities broken down by age and other diseases. How many were already nearing the end of their time due to their pre-existing condition?
