Your title made it seem like you had actual information but you’re just throwing crap against the wall and hoping it sticks

Completely agree. But as someone who has seen perfectly healthy loved ones go into the hospital and become their lab rats ending in death, I do not discount medical error after medical error that might have started the covid but ended with negligence - I have also seen loved ones done in by their wives making choices for them not based on the person's best chance but what is best for the wife.

Is that just a personal anecdote about evil wives you're relating or are you casting aspersions about Nick Cordero's wife into the mix of "theories"?

IMO, this is another evidence free post intentionally attempting to spread disinformation, victim shame and cruelly attack a real grieving family, (by innuendo) who tragically are an illustration of the destruction and havoc this virus is capable of causing.

Why is this disgusting MO being employed to downplay the grave disease caused by this new, vexing and serious virus? Why are so many intent on deliberately and wrongly diminishing this pandemic which, legitimately, is a threat to we the citizens of America, our economy, our national security and our public health?

No one goes into the hospital these days without some kind of health issue.

Physicians do not do what a family member wants if it is not in the best interest of the patient.

How are you so sure? And why would his wife care about scaring you?

What are you smoking? Please share - the rest of us will want to avoid whatever it is.

The diabetes could go with the amputation.

Was it all from Covid - Who knows...
COVID-19 causes massive blood clotting in some people, which can lead to amputation, strokes, heart attacks, embolisms, etc. Educate yourself.

Plus, do you know for certain that he was diabetic?

Didn't think so ...

Add willful ignorance to that list. I've never seen so many people discount science, medicine, and research with their own heads up their behinds.

The annual flu season is not a pandemic. Flu is not as deadly, nor is it as communicable.

I agree with others - we should have let it run it's course having those at risk patients confine to their homes - I was confined for weeks anyway - if someone at risk wants to take their chances with this thing - fine but we could have been done and over with this.
We could have been over and done with this had each level of government taken it seriously as well as had each level of government led by example. Instead, we have our idiot president saying the virus will be gone like a miracle, and idiot governors slow or reluctant to take measures to reduce transmission. We have idiot citizens who complain about "muh rights" because they believe the idiot president.

Now you're blaming medical staff and wives for deaths? Just Nick Cordero's wife, wives in general, all illnesses, or just COVID-19? Surely you have evidence to back such a (ridiculous) claim?

This thread is worthless without some kind of a source.

It is possible he had an underlying condition that he did not know about or it could be he was one of the few younger people who die from it. The death of a younger healthy person is not impossible. I think it is poor taste to suggest his wife is using this tragedy to advance an agenda or to scare us.

Anybody know if he was a smoker, as that is not being reported as a pre-existing condition anywhere in the US?

I suspect smoking will some day be revealed as a common thread in many severe (or deadly) Covid hospitalizations. One of the first folks to get very sick in my area was described as a healthy long distance runner, and later it got around by word of mouth (never in the newspaper) that he was also a heavy smoker.
He was not a smoker. As the disease progressed his lungs resembled those of a 50 year smoker. Had he survived, he was going to need a double lung transplant.

There is much we don’t know about this virus.
