Last year, the CDC admitted anyone who died was declared death from Covid if the Covid virus was detected in their body. Thus, if someone died of cancer, but tests showed their body contained covid, they were declared a Covid casualty.
A month ago, the CDC admitted the Covid tests could not differentiate between the flu and Covid, thus anyone with the flu would have been declared infected by Covid.
That means, that basically anyone that had any virus (like flu) in their system at the time of their death would be declared a Covid casualty. So for example, if someone died of cancer, but had the flu virus in their system, they would have been declared a Covid death.
Am I correct here?
This is insanity!!
What Covid deaths?
Typically, every year about 40,000 to 50,000 Americans die of the annual FLU. That's about the same # that dies OF Covid last year.
The over-inflated # of 500,000 + that the CDC keeps stating is people that "died WITH Covid"... or had the flu or even just traces of the flu or cold in their system when they died of a gunshot wound or a car wreck or due to heart attack.
Like any data... garbage in = garbage out.
That flu estimate is as accurate as the COVID estimates, though. Patient has respiratory disease, dies, no way or interest in testing, we'll call it the flu.
