Florida Man Who Died In Motorcycle Wreck Labeled As COVID-19 Death By State
2020-07-19
[Zero] We know that coronavirus death counts are being inflated - we just don't know by how much. After all, how could they not be when there is a financial incentive for states and municipalities to report deaths as coronavirus deaths? And for some states, there may even be a political incentive...

Which is why it shouldn't come as a total surprise when a man who suffered a fatal motorcycle accident in Florida last week was added to the state's Covid-19 death count.

Fox 35 did an investigation where they talked to Orange County Health Officer Dr. Raul Pino about two deaths of people in their 20s that were labeled coronavirus deaths. When they asked if the people who died had underlying conditions, Pino responded: "The first one didn’t have any. He died in a motorcycle accident."

#2  P.Trump, et. al., has relaxed CMS reimbursement rules for COVID. If a Doc or hospital can claim CV treatment or cause, for anything, they get paid.

#1  Would it be fair to assume that 99% of people who die and afterwards tested covid positive, die of covid?
