When they say deaths involving X, do they mean people who died with X or people who died by X? Because that strikes me as a pretty important distinction.
You have to pump those numbers up somehow.
Without getting too political it depends on the doctor. I have know both the hystrionic "those numbers are way too low, everybody is a carrier, etc" to the ones that have confirmed their hospitals have mandatory weekly Covid quotas (like parking tickets).
The most reasonable ones always say that it's the comorbidity that kills you, Covid hypercharges it or whatever. Now how far do comorbidity extends? Biggest risk groups are, of course, the elderly simply because of old age. So if some old folks die and the doctor can write in the report "possible contact with a potential covid carrier" that's listed as a Covid death. It became especially ridiculous when the asymptomatic carrier was an existing population group. That means that everyone was a manchurian candidate as far as socialized medicine was concerned.
In the end it's easier to half-ass a medical report, as long as the quotas are met and some reports were, "the deceased's nurse was so and so, the caretaker was so and so but she made eye-contact with her grandson through a glass window which is the defacto cause of death".
It's been almost 2 years and the doctor's attitudes have greatly changed. More than half of them just said, "fuck it" and are living a completelly normal life where I'm from. They are obligated to give you the security detail of washing your hands and staying home if you have a runny nose but...they tell it to you like a blockbuster employee (see? I could tie this back to the Chipmans) telling you to please rewind the tape when you return it.
Finally, the Kool-aid doctors that I know have self-isolated this Christmas Eve and are still yelling at the clouds.
tl;dr Bob fat and his fatness, diabetes and bloated liver are real risks that can be severelly accentuated by Covid.
These are the same tards who ask the dumb rhetoric question: "Why do you care more about buildings than lives?", as if BLM were Médecins Sans Frontières.
Weren't they called the Diamond Dogs before?
