Counting The Corona Dead

-
Counting the Dead should be fairly straight forward – but it’s Not?
-
During War and Pandemics there is the proverbial ‘fog of war’ that makes counting the number of dead and particularity the cause of death complex and less than accurate resulting in large spreads of numbers being quoted.
-
In recent US history, the AIDs death count in the 1980s and into the early 1990s was clouded in secrecy and most deaths were listed as pneumonia or cancer.
-
Today’s Covid-19 deaths are also clouded in defining ‘cause of death’.
It appears that people with existing end of life issues, the most vulnerable, are being listed as Covid-19 deaths if they test positive for Covid-19.
-
This is resulting in the Covid-Politicalization mess to extend into the death count.
-
It appears the Right wants the numbers to be Low and the Left wants High numbers.  What a Joy
-
Now we can’t even have nonPolitical death certificates!
