FOX 35 INVESTIGATES: Questions raised after fatal motorcycle crash listed as COVID-19 death

I do not know if it is true, but several stories have supported the conjecture that the Left is padding the Covid 19 death count to harm Mr. Trump. Democracy depends upon the electorate being tethered to truth. With the Left spewing disinformation across the information media, our democracy is under attack.

Just following their daddy's instructions!!

Hospitals get paid federal dollars for Chinese deaths so they say.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING CAUSE OF DEATH (CDC) link

Immediate cause: trauma from motorcycle accident

Other significant conditions contributing to death but not resulting in the underlying cause: Covid-19 (fever, shortness of breath, hypoxia, etc.)

Manner of death (accident) - if it was primarily Covid it would be listed as (natural)

It’s a judgement call but there is no reason that Covid-19 should not be listed.

It’s certainly not falsification.

Yes it is

Well, that is very interesting - a motorcycle is infected with the Chinese virus
I'm thinking the carburetor.

Well, when you can call a Genesis day an eon, I guess there's nothing you can't lie about.

Plus they count positive results many times over as when the same person is retested and they still come up positive. I don't believe much that is coming out about the virus anymore.

 

[carpro]

Just another lie. All the statistics are false.

We really have no idea how many have become ill and how many have died with the Chinese flu.

... It’s a judgement call but there is no reason that Covid-19 should not be listed. ...

No reason? If it was only detected postmortem, might not that be a reason not to list it, especially if he was asymptomatic? If the accident trauma was fatal—broken neck, severed artery, crushed head/torso—why would COVID-19 be a factor? Only if it directly led to the wreck, right?

Do they routinely list flu or cold viruses as cause of death in such instances?

 

[Deacon]

Obviously we don’t know a lot about any of the circumstances involving this incident.
I’d guess that blood was drawn immediately upon arrival to a busy ER, the cyclist would have arrived in the trauma room and declared dead upon arrival.

The physician, writing up the death certificate later and working with what little information he had, noted a positive Covid-19 result and would have listed it among other possible contributing causes.

Natural deaths are due almost entirely to disease processes or aging. In the case of a death due to a COVID–19 infection, the manner of death would have been listed as natural.

In this case, even though the virus’ presence was noted, the cause of death would have been accidental.

This is where the err probably occurred in categorizing the Covid death. Someone saw Covid and quickly came to a wrong conclusion.

The article did not indicate that the death certificate was altered afterwords.
I’m guessing that it was a simple clerical err by under educated secretarial staff.

Without a certifying physician, the form is meaningless. If a physician certifies it, then it's not a clerical error, but a medical one. COVID-19 doesn't belong on the form unless it's a "significant condition contributing to death."

They are after taxpayer money and Chinese virus pays hospitals a bonus. It'$ all over the country.
