I'm starting to question some of these covid stats

[squatting dog]

I now have 2 examples of what I consider to be misleading at best.
Example one. my neighbors 17 year old nephew drowns while swimming in a quarry hole. Because he was on a ventilator while waiting for parents consent to unplug, his death is listed as covid.
Example two. Most recent, my good friend here weighted almost 300 lbs, had diabetes numbers off the chart, smoked, drank cokes like water, poor diet, Just had his gall bladder removed. while home recovering, suffered a stroke. Taken to hospital and put on a ventilator. Passed away 2 days ago. Again, cause of death....covid.
Kind of makes me wonder how many other deaths are being attributed to covid. Cynical me, I suspect it has a lot to do with the $$$$$. the hospitals get.

i wouldn't be surprised. it's amazing some of the crap they will do to try to line their own pockets or the stuff they will do in an effort to get aide. i'm just so disgusted with how all this covid stuff has been handled since the beginning and how it continues to happen almost a year later. and they whine about the death toll. it's disgraceful.

I hear the same sort of things from my neighbor/nurse.

Did you hear about the [already millionaires] who have diverted/stolen money from sources intending it to go to the china virus relief & safety equipment ?

It was noted on the program Full Measure last night & again just this morning .

Indeed disgraceful !
