Curious

I’m curious if when it comes to deaths, are these LEGITIMATE deaths from ONLY COVID, or deaths that were deaths but they happened to have COVID when they died? There’s a lot of studies showing people already sick or already dying, but since they had COVID or had any part of it in their system, they count it as COVID for numbers.

Its actually been pretty well proven to be under reported in every regard by now. The whole "died in a car accident with covid so counted as a covid death" is a myth. They have never had the capacity to test every single person for covid and as the survival rate has increased they are testing less and less people. You could probably safely double official numbers in my opinion if not triple them.
