The disinformation campaign is already in full swing.

Sure most of us will know the truth. I fear it won't matter one bit. The corruption is deep and coordinated at the highest levels of our society by very rich and powerful people.

I hope I am wrong.

That the comorbidity rate is so high for those who die from COVID-19 fuels the question.

Take my mother. She died of a respiratory infection. Probably the flu. Without the flu she'd have lived. On the other hand, if she had the flu when a second thing hit, they would have said ... Flu? The other thing?

It's like a tied basketball game. The guy who scores the tie-breaker gets all the credit. The previous 90 points don't count, but without any of those there wouldn't have been a tie. Human cognition.

It's shared responsibility.

Ruling death as "pneumonia" or "heart failure" if people's lungs get filled up and they drown, or if they code because of not enough oxygen, and nobody can get their heart re-started . That's why hospitals are just shaking their heads at the reported numbers of COVID-19 deaths they are seeing vs. what is being reported.
