This is true of anything. People with the flu often catch pneumonia and die. Nobody with AIDS actually died of AIDS. If you have a heart attack which would normally have been survivable but are driving and have an an accident and die of blunt trauma, is the cause of death the crash or the (otherwise survivable) heart attack? If you snort too much coke and your heart goes into afib and you throw a clot and have a stroke, is it the coke or the stroke?, but if you already had high cholesterol and plaque built up, is that a comorbidity that means you would have died anyway?
Some people here on this board seem to think that the overwhelming majority of people who die of Covid had only weeks or months to live anyway so should not be counted as Covid deaths, but a 70 year old with hypertension and asthma could easily live a good life until they are 75 or 80 or more, but if Covid kills them their death is listed as an old person with multiple comorbidities, so somehow they are more expendable.
Correct, but cause of death is not listed as flu. That’s my whole point here. Cause of death in regards to covid is uniquely calculated. No other disease deaths work like this except…
Guess who it was that determined how to calculate AIDS deaths….
You’re bringing up extremely rare scenarios, none of which trigger incredibly destructive public policy reactions.
Sure but in those same cases if the flu gets them the flu won’t be the cause of of death and incredibly destructive public policy diktats won’t come of it.
Also, wanting clarity and legitimacy in counting deaths from a disease that is triggering unprecedented, world changing, destructive policies doesn’t imply that those who are being counted as dead are “expendable”.[/quote]

What the hell was that twitter thing you posted and why are the commenters mad about it?
You've posted that 3 times already. It's a dumb meme. You need some new material.
You don't understand how this works.
You are very sure that you do, but you don't.
I'm in a brewery last night, maskless, surrounded by boisterous people masks off drinking.
A bunch of dopes in line for a drink... wearing masks.
For what reason I do not know.
I get to the front, the bartender asks me if I have a mask.
"No. Can I have a water?"
Outdoors, at the food truck, a colleague asks me where's my mask?
This is as I'm looking at the guy taking our order with his mask hanging off his face...
A total lack of critical thinking.
How do people live this way?

Why Woke Organizations All Sound the Same
America’s major institutions have gone woke the same way that someone goes bankrupt: slowly, then all at once. How is it that so many of us have had the experience of being in a diversity-training session divided into racially segregated “affinity groups” or reading yet another...

This one is for you Johnny Rebel anti-maskers - pull you panties' up and deal with it.
You can keep saying that presymptomatic transmission is not real
But studies show otherwise
1-2 days before symptoms you’re contageous
whether or not spreading its a bad thing is a different related discussion
ive always thought the flu, and other general viruses were also contagious a few days before symptoms too.
Literal?
just remember, you never, or rarely, know peoples real story
You don’t know if the mom of that kid is going through chemo and at a much higher risk of death or some other thing is going on that makes that extra precaution worth it to them.
I’m not assuming what prcd said he saw constitutes literal child abuse
