My interesting trip to the grocery store story. (Western Washington state)

30. I'm afraid you're looking for proof of something that almost certainly doesn't exist...

therefore, you're going to have a problem getting confirmation. There's no way I can say 100% for sure, but I think it's a very safe bet the State of Washington is not counting routine heart attack deaths in with coronavirus deaths unless the person currently had a confirmed serious case of the virus.

So, how would you propose a TV station would confirm that something likely not true was never said? They would literally have to poll every editor and newscaster with that question and that is not going to happen.

I think your best bet is to write an email to the Washington State Dept. of Health or try to call their COVID-19 information center.

or.... https://www.doh.wa.gov/

Not sure if this will get you anywhere but perhaps worth a try.....

My suspicion is this is right-wing bullshit that's been passed around as fact, or your person at the store simply mistook something he heard on TV.
