[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 2123769, member: 78438"] Rifleman97 Thank you, I wasn't looking to be blatant about anything.....like I said, something to think about. I appreciate the information. But.....We don't get multiple causes of death in the media now do we? We get immediate cause in the news. Sort of my point. Just to clarify, because I don't know. Someone who has stage 4 cancer of some sort, with a prognosis of 8 weeks, gets covid, which causes death in 2 weeks, will be reported as a covid death? In this case, he did not die from cancer, but was certainly going downhill, and covid killed him. Would covid be listed as immediate cause, and cancer as antecedent cause? Or are you saying, by "going downhill" that they are in the process of passing from cancer and then get covid, the death would be listed as cancer? This seems like it could come down to splitting hairs, and if one cause pays better, it might influence (a) (b) in the report above. I would like to think not, I just know what money does to people. I'm not sure how you gathered that I don't think covid deaths are real from what I posted. I simply wanted to provoke thought about why, and yes, bring into question which covid deaths should be of concern to the general public. I don't think my assessment of how the media reports, is out of line. Given the situation I presented, I did not accuse the media of lying. I pointed out that they report the information that gets them views, the facts behind what they report don't make the cut for air time. [/QUOTE]
