Sorry I don’t live on this site. But yes I think true Covid deaths is much lower. People are dying of cancer, pneumonia, and heart disease that are getting counted as Covid. I was talking to a coworker whose aunt died of a heart attack and they marked it as Covid since she did also test positive for that. Look I know Covid can kill and it affects people drastically different. Some people get sick, some no at all and I know someone who came out of it with no symptoms but now is having crazy psychosis. This thing is defiantly weird.

We don’t measure deaths this way, as this is a way to try and estimate the full impact of COVID. That is a very difficult thing to capture and I don’t think it would be accurate to do it this way here either. It is strange though this study was done by an economist. Here is the full text

Did you see the death certificate of your coworkers aunt? We have evidence COVID causes myocardial damage so I wouldn’t necessarily say it definitely wasn’t a factor without knowing the details of her health. Due to false negatives in testing I feel early on we drastically underestimated death counts, and with increased testing capacity and antibody testing capability it is less likely to miss a COVID death as it was early on. The fact that you and others believe the death count to be lower than reported is indicative of backlash to media hype of this disease going too far.

Ironically he was tested bc he was meeting with Trump, who has been critical about increased testing as it drives the number of reported cases up. Yet obviously anyone who comes in contact with the President gets a test, which I believe to be the right policy, though contradictory to what comes out of his mouth.

Apparently DeWine had the antigen test... and has since tested negative with PCR testing.
