Corona Virus vs FLU

[Guffman]

 In the UK, USA and probably other countries too it is allowed to put covid 19 on a death certificate without testing. It just needs to be suspected. Why is this kind of thing suddenly allowed???  It means the number of deaths is surely not accurate. In Italy everyone who died while being infected was put down as covid19 even though it may not have actually been the virus that killed them.

I noticed last week that the BBC have changed the language they are using. It's now "covid related" and "with covid 19". Not "of"

 It seems like governments are getting it wrong to avoid getting it wrong. If that makes sense.

No thought of concentration camps meant. But adequate medical care need be be focused to provide for their care. In Thailand >70 usually go to the front of the line, which is a good start. We need to encourage people with preexisting conditions to seek appropriate care.in the end it's really up to them, though. I'm >70 but in excellent health but always take good care is to avoid unnecessary risks (esp handwashing).

Which part of "the COVId forum is not a place for political discussion" do people not understand?
