In reply to the discussion: ⚠️BREAKING--Huge CDC study says #COVID19 not only caused 285,000 excess deaths-- [View all]noneof_theabove
(410 posts)34. It is still higher
remember they play word salad math.
For an elderly person in assisted living or dementia/ALZ.
They get CV19 and then their kidneys fail.
Report is death by renal failure attributed to CV19.
That is still a CV19 death because they might have outlived the pandemic, which would be renal failure.
My dad, 89, passed 17 months ago after about 8 months in a ALZ Assisted Live Unit.
Death certificate read renal failure due to sever ALZ, ALZ did not get the count just simple death. BS!

OP
So much for the "200,000 is overinflated because it includes cases with multiple CODs" nonsense.
