I was always skeptical of death stats because my mother's death certificate isn't accurate (along with other family members), and pneumonia deaths are thrown in with the flu, but if you die of anything with the antibodies in your system, they're tossing it under COVID. You were two days away from death anyway, but it's the virus?
So much for the true numbers with any pandemic/epidemic.

And there are also those who are putting causes of death down as something else when they are really from Covid-19, thus keeping the numbers down. So this goes both ways.

...when my mom died 20+ years ago, the death certificate read heart attack...she did not have heart trouble...she had terminal cancer!

I wish they would give up some statistics on how many deaths last year from the regular flu versus deaths thus far from this COVID19. Seems there has been no mention of that.

So don't look at the statistics and maybe they'll go away. Like magic.

Same with my mom. Cancer wasn't even mentioned.

@Blahblahvampemer Don't know what news channel you watch but it has been mentioned many times. If you want flu statistics go to the CDC website.
