Corona virus is attacking the heart muscle causing RT side failure (Viral cardiomyopathy).They were seeing and increase in Tropinins and were taking pt to cath lab only to see clean coronaries but heart was in failure.
A weird thing that happened since the stay at home ruling is we are having less semi's to come in for.

Sure, if you completely and utterly ignore the context in which the statement was given.



Why do you think she referenced the way European nations are recording deaths? Just for the hell of it?

Um, you seriously claim to know when people are supposed to die?


I know that when a nursing home has three deaths in an average month and they have 45 in a month that there’s a very strong chance that there’s something else going on besides when someone’s “supposed to die.”

You're right. I don't know FOR A FACT that there is not a single doctor somewhere in the U.S. violating coding protocol. And because I don't know the unknowable, the data set is illegitimate.

Also, Trump did not win the 2016 election because I cannot prove that there never existed a single act of voter fraud in his favor.

Cool, please go on record: Do you think we are getting an accurate number of deaths by Corona from those compiling the numbers?


Yes.

She identified that European countries are differentiating Covid related deaths from other causes and the U.S. is not. That's been established already, and is the basis for the thread. Did you have a point there?

Which is why it is STUPID to simply dismiss the OP's assertion....you don't KNOW anymore than he does.

Some of us are very distrustful of those who are quick to proclaim themselves the best and brightest who have been sent from on-high to protect us from ourselves.

I have a lot of respect for the overwhelming majority of people in the Healthcare industry, but they aren't infallible and they aren't all angels.

Some of the people we are relying on for information are very partisan and many would not hesitate to deny their Hippocratic Oath to score one for their team.

So I can't estimate the odds of someone dying in a given month based on death statistics, but you can estimate the political leanings and willingness to violate an oath of health care workers based on... your feelings?

Yes...It would count as a Covid-19 related death. I understand why an untrained person would find this confusing...But this is part of the pre-existing conditions issue w/Covid-19. If you have underlying heart disease, something like this infection can result in problems plus, we are thinking that Covid-19 targets the heart. Even patients that do not have underlying heart problems are having a jump in the cardiac enzymes from a myocarditis. My hospital’s standing orders for suspected COVID-19 patients include a troponin—heart enzyme panel. Here is an image of our current suggested testing.

Okay. I'm starting to question your interpretation of the protocols of "one the largest health systems in the country."

Not even close.. seriously, a lot of you need to go watch the entire question in it's full context. She said that in European countries, if a COVID positive victim had an underlying condition and died in the ICU, the COD was being charted as the underlying condition. Knowing this virus attacks major internal organs, how does that make sense?

I won't lose any sleep over it.

See that word "caused"? It means something.

She is very clearly saying that some countries are recording deaths CAUSED by coronavirus that exacerbated an underlying condition as a death caused by the underlying conditioned and not COVID.

That is not way, shape, or form the same as

You half-wit...you quoted that. If you have COVID and you die of a diabetic ketoacidosis....that's a notch on the COVID tally.

Also how am I to gather that if a person with COVID dies in a car crash they aren't counting that to COVID....that is essentially exactly what the above quote says.

Note the quote doesn't say dies "of" COVID-19 but "with" COVID-19....what don't you get they are cooking the numbers.

Because you may a bureaucrat in a nationalized health system that knows a reckoning is coming after all of this over with.
