Not WITH Covid? OF Covid? I know the are purposely distorting the numbers to make Trump look bad and to reimburse the hospitals at higher rates. Just saw a 29 year old who they previously said died of COVID actually did not. So how many have REALLY died of Covid? Anyone know?

My friends Dad died of 'Covid' but had diabetes and heart issues. If he was a bit healthier he would of lived.

My 3 family members that died of it had other other common underlying issues like high blood pressure but that was managed and they were otherwise healthy.

If a bear mauls you in the woods and you die on the operating table because they couldn't manage your diabetes, did the diabetes kill you or the bear?

It really depends on how one looks at it. The flu is no different, and kills thousands each year that are also weak with underlying issues. Some people also just weren't lucky and were in good health but their immune systems just didn't respond well to it.
China on the other hand, was stating that pneumonia was the cause of death for the first 1000's of people killed by Covid-19 when these patients were otherwise healthy.

The correct answer is less than 9000.
