Joe West isn’t down with Corona fear

In the aftermath of comments made by veteran umpire Joe West, the Major League Baseball Umpires Association on Thursday issued a statement saying that "recent public comments" do not reflect its stance regarding the coronavirus pandemic.
quote:
The 67-year-old West said he doesn't believe the death total being attributed to the coronavirus -- which has surpassed 130,000 in the United States -- is an accurate figure.
"Those statistics aren't accurate, I don't care who's counting them,'' West told USA Today Sports. "When country music [singer] Joe Diffie died, they said he died of the coronavirus. He had Stage 4 lung cancer. The coronavirus may have accelerated his death, but let's be realistic.
Our system is so messed up they have emptied hospitals because there's no elective surgery. The government has been giving these hospitals extra money if someone dies of the coronavirus. So everybody that dies is because of coronavirus. I don't care if you get hit by a car, it's coronavirus.''

Hes right
my wifes grandpa was given 2 weeks to live due to multiple issues and him being 97, someone entered the place he was at with the virus and when he died he tested positive. Best believe that counted towards the rona count.

My wife’s great aunt was in her 90s and had cancer. Coronavirus was included on the death certificate. If you don’t think they’re not cooking numbers, you’re not paying attention.
