The lady had no signs of Covid, she was 124 years old when she died. It makes absolutely no sense to test her for Covid. We know Covid tests yield a lot of false positives, so it is entirely possible, a 124 year old who died, who did not have Covid, has a false positive tests, then gets added to the Covid stats sheet. This practice is going on routinely and has lead to a gross inflation of these 'Covid Deaths'. https://wgntv.com/news/woman-believed-to-be-worlds-oldest-person-dies-at-124/ (NEXSTAR) – A Filipino woman believed to be the oldest person in the world has died at age 124. Lola Francisca Susano died early Monday evening, according to the city of Kabankalan, in the province of Negros Occidental, Philippines. “It is with sadness in our heart when we received the news that our beloved Lola Francisca Susano passed away,” the city government posted on Facebook. “Her official declaration as the oldest person in the world at 124 years old is currently validated by the Guinness World Records.” CNN Philippines reported that her cause of death has yet to be determined, according to city public information officer Jake Carlyne Gonzales, who said Susano will be tested for COVID-19 on Tuesday though she reportedly was not showing any symptoms of the virus.
Maybe you should ask Rocky Balboa to ask Manny Pacquiao who's a senator in the Philippines now? Could you just cop on for once? A friend here's wife underwent heart transplant surgery which is obviously a major surgery with risk but she had a cluster of strokes that is so uncommon none of the doctors had ever seen it. A working theory, and just a theory, right now is that she had asymptomatic covid weeks or months earlier however the virus created clots which stick around and were released on restarting her heart when taken off bypass. There's a bit of a kick to the venous system when this happens, normally it isn't a problem. Asymptomatic does not mean does nothing so its worthwhile checking just to know and I'm sure rule out covid involvement.
Yeah okay, I am not be a jerk to your friends wife, but that has nothing to do with this story. The point is, a lady who is 124 years old died and for no reason whatsoever, they tested her Covid. It is completely pointless other than they are looking to inflate the death count and they want headlines so that shitheads like GWB-Trading can plaster it all over social media. The politicians love the control that Covid gives them and they are going to milk this for all they can.
No they are not looking to inflate the death count. Anyone who lives to 124 is an extraordinary person physically. Everyone who lives to that age is of intense interest to science. You have a bee in your bonnet about inflated figures when the reality is its a massive undercount, not over count. People at her age, super-geriatrics have very special biology so knowing if there were any additional factors is normal enquiry. She's in the Phillipines, they did not ask for the test to hurt Trump. Get some grip here, you are nestling GWB's CRT crazy and that's very crazy. I'd they didn't win the test, the other crazies would be saying it was a conspiracy the other direction.
Yes they are. I know a guy who died of Covid. At the funeral I told his mother that he should not have been riding his motorcycle that fast.
Here's a question...Why choose to test for COVID, but not Influenza, Pneumonia, Zika, etc etc all recent virii? And what if she tests positive for both COVID and Pneumo, or Influ? What will they say she died from? I think that is his point.
Overnight, thank you for spelling out the obvious. It was not a difficult point but somehow he refused to get it. The lady was 124 years old and she died. Let her die with dignity. Her cause of death was being 124.
"Super geriatrics" have in a sense aged past ordinary diseases through resistance we don't yet fully grasp though much of it seems to be just not over reacting to infections like bats do. It has been found recently they share a common and fairly unique gut bacteria/microbiota. In a decade we will probably all be getting the newest thing in gut flora based on this. Covid is a novel, aka new virus so it has some chance of affecting them differently to other viruses. So you test to know. Now I have answered the question a six year old would ask, I'm going for a walk You guys keep me young.
