because hospitals get money for listing deaths as caused by the virus? Straight from Faux news. It never ends!

(10,286 posts)Because that encourages people not to work. Have any of these disgusting low lifes every worked for a living? Projection; the lazy parasites have been free loading and living off their inherited money their whole lives.

(9,057 posts)...people who attended any Trump rally caught the coronavirus?
Even more interesting would be to see dates, but I would not expect to ever get such stats from the Trump misadministration.

(10,286 posts)It would be nice, and really quite important, to know these things but with an administration so devoted to suppressing information we certainly wont get the facts.

(5 posts)First it was a hoax. Then it was the flu and not that deadly. Now that the Death numbers are high, theyre inflating the numbers.
Then some (a lot actually) believe its some man made virus from China created to destroy America. And Trump (Moses) is sheltering us (his flock) in place to fight the Cabal (people who dont agree with them) who are killing the children and storing for their precious blood (abortion) for later feasting. This all according to the gospel of Q (Qanon).
You cant make this shit up even if tried.
Im a first responder, (cop) and Ive seen whats happening out here. People are dying at a fast clip and the bodies are piling up.
Ive tried explaining how medical death certificates are classified.
Ive tried explaining the 5 modes of death (homicide, suicide, natural, accidental, and undetermined).
Ive tried explaining the difference between primary cause of death and the underlying cause that led to death.
Ive tried explaining Covid, Influenza, Heart attack, diabetes, etc, are conditions to can lead to death. And that the disease itself is not the primary cause for one dying.
Ive tried explaining that all medical conditions found during an autopsy or that were known prior to death, and that have a high probability of causing death are listed on the death certificate in order of occurrence.
Ive tried explaining that the CDC complies this information and are able to determine with a high rate of probability what conditions or combination thereof can lead to death.
Ive tried explaining to these Facebook doctors that the leading cause of death chart that they use to spout the flu stats is based off of that info.
Ive been always been aware of people who believe anything told them without reviewing stats, records etc. But this has crossed the line of conspiracy theories that we once would laugh at. These idiots are going to get us killed disregarding science, using fake Facebook memes, and some sort nonsensical occult religion.
Be safe out there. Take care of those that cant and above all else, VOTE!!

(1,178 posts)First, welcome to DU!
Secondly, totally agree. And chaps me is the people on Facebook with the "haha" emoji whenever a media outlet reports the latest amount of deaths, making fun of it as if it's all fake. If it weren't for the fact they could spread the virus to many innocent people, I'd say "have at it" to them. They might as well put their fingers in their ears, because they refuse to listen to people and still think it's all a big hoax.
