I used to work in nursing homes and treated many Dementia patients. Most of them end up with aspiration pneumonia due to their inability to initiate a swallow reflex. So I assume many of those deaths were being attributed to COVID when if fact they were not. However, I suspect many of them were more susceptible to getting COVID due to their already compromised lungs. Thus they died earlier than they would have normally..
BTW the CDC in a lot of states did NOT separate aspiration pneumonia deaths from COVID deaths.
Didn’t something just come out that covid basically kills those w Alzheimer’s at a rate of 90%?
