Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy some people are classified as a Covid death even if that was not the cause of death.

Absolute fact, and are you willing to accept that some deaths are not classified as 'Covid deaths' so that states can make their numbers appear better?

To be fair also a mutation is not a variant. Sars cov 2 is a mutation of sars cov. Delta is a variant of sars cov 2. When the virus mutates it will be called sars cov 3

I understand where you are coming from, but in reality the variants are mutations of cov-2 .

That has to be really hard. I wonder how many "not for cause" unvaccinated people rethink their decision when someone that close to them dies from Covid. Obviously the 720 million deaths to date have been too remote for some.

He's the only person I know personally that has died of covid. He was fully vaccinated.
And as of yet besides him anyone that I know that has had covid has either been no symptoms besides some losing taste and or smell, and some just a real bad cold.

I suppose that's a possiblity though I haven't heard of that yet. There is a large monitary incentive to run the numbers.
I find it distasteful ( but apparently not too much since I'm still accepting a nice paycheck. )

Absolutely I do. But there both part of the problem, not the solution. Thats whats breeding distrust and suspicion.

Thats like saying that a dog is blue and therefore all dogs are blue.

I have heard that many times but no one has ever cited a source for that "information".

What of the political incentive to downplay the numbers?

I'm afraid I have seen plenty of playing up the numbers. I guess it's depends on your point of view.

That's the one that has been verified.
