I know this to be true. I saw it happen to a family member. She would have died anyway, eventually, but as the care and intervention changed... and so did her health. .
People dying of heart disease because they have stopped elective procedures will be counted as Corona Virus deaths. Nobody knows and audit the results anyway. Without any audits, the extreme liberals with agendas will just count each and every death as Corona Virus related. You cannot miss that by a mile. The same way Democrat governors colluded by creating an alliance on re-opening their economies at the same time? When the number of deaths and infections from the Corona Virus is different for each state? Democrats think they are winning by destroying their states economies. Ignoring the simple fact that most of the people who will lose their jobs in their states are extreme liberal Democrats. Cannot wait for the Antifa and BLM thugs to torch and destroy their own states when it happens.
( now fucking GWB... I don't care if you don't like the study... I am saying see what the Public Health director says in response to the idea more people had the virus than they knew. ) "The mortality rate now has dropped a lot," Barbara Ferrer, director of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, said at a press briefing today. In contrast with the current crude case fatality rate of about 4.5 percent, she said, the study suggests that 0.1 percent to 0.2 percent of people infected by the virus will die, which would make COVID-19 only somewhat more deadly than the seasonal flu." CORONAVIRUS L.A. County Antibody Tests Suggest the Fatality Rate for COVID-19 Is Much Lower Than People Feared The tests indicate that the number of infections in the county is around 40 times as high as the number of confirmed cases. JACOB SULLUM | 4.20.2020 6:10 PM Neeraj Sood (L.A. County Department of Public Health) Preliminary results from antibody tests in Los Angeles County indicate that the true number of COVID-19 infections is much higher than the number of confirmed cases there, which implies that the fatality rate is much lower than the official tallies suggest. "The mortality rate now has dropped a lot," Barbara Ferrer, director of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, said at a press briefing today. In contrast with the current crude case fatality rate of about 4.5 percent, she said, the study suggests that 0.1 percent to 0.2 percent of people infected by the virus will die, which would make COVID-19 only somewhat more deadly than the seasonal flu. Based on a representative sample of 863 adults tested early this month, researchers at the University of Southern California (USC), working in collaboration with the public health department, found that "approximately 4.1% of the county's adult population has antibody to the virus." Taking into account the statistical margin of error, the results indicate that "2.8% to 5.6% of the county's adult population has antibody to the virus—which translates to approximately 221,000 to 442,000 adults in the county who have had the infection." That is 28 to 55 times higher than the tally of confirmed cases at the time of the study. As of noon today, Los Angeles County had reported 617 deaths out of 13,816 confirmed cases, which implies a fatality rate of 4.5 percent. Based on that death toll, the new study suggests the true fatality rate among everyone infected by the virus is somewhere between 0.1 percent and 0.3 percent (without taking into account people infected since the study was conducted). The lower end of that range is about the same as the estimated fatality rate for the seasonal flu. ... https://reason.com/2020/04/20/l-a-c...or-covid-19-is-much-lower-than-people-feared/
