Bozo73 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Regarding the causal vs coincidental issue, a friend’s husband died recently. He was 80 or more, had extremely low blood pressure (cause not revealed) and late stage dementia. His family had to protest the inclusion of Covid-19 as a cause of his death. This is probably more the case rather than the exception. I experienced a similar issue with my father’s death certificate, smoking was listed as causal and I never saw or heard of him smoking in the 50 years prior to his death. Makes one wonder, eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam S. Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Someone asked about COVID comorbidities, or conditions contributing to COVID deaths. The CDC publishes those data. As of 5/2/21, 1,548,610 conditions contributing to death were listed in addition to COVID (560,616). You can also view those data by age group, state, etc. For those curious, here's the list: Condition COVID-19 Deaths Influenza and pneumonia 257,022 Chronic lower respiratory diseases 49,659 Adult respiratory distress syndrome 58,537 Respiratory failure 210,769 Respiratory arrest 11,866 Other diseases of the respiratory system 23,427 Hypertensive diseases 110,763 Ischemic heart disease 61,327 Cardiac arrest 68,105 Cardiac arrhythmia 41,680 Heart failure 42,831 Cerebrovascular diseases 27,788 Other diseases of the circulatory system 35,720 Sepsis 53,604 Malignant neoplasms 26,525 Diabetes 89,748 Obesity 22,204 Alzheimer disease 20,411 Vascular and unspecified dementia 55,189 Renal failure 55,849 Intentional and unintentional injury, poisoning, and other adverse events 11,227 All other conditions and causes (residual) 214,359 COVID-19 560,616 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 It may be time to relax indoor face mask mandates, Fauci says Dr. Anthony Fauci says federal guidance on wearing face coverings indoors may change soon. Sunday on ABC News, Fauci was asked whether it's time to start relaxing indoor masks requirements.

OO1 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Coronavirus Strain Found in India Is a ‘Variant of Concern,’ WHO Says The World Health Organization on Monday classified a coronavirus variant first spotted in India as a global “variant of concern,” saying preliminary studies showed it may be more transmissible than some other variants. The WHO didn’t report any evidence suggesting that currently authorized vaccines would be less effective against the variant. The variant, known as B.1.617, is being studied by scientists around the world as they try to figure out its role in the fast growing Covid-19 surge in India, which reported more than 366,000 new daily cases on Monday. The variant has already spread to more than 30 countries, according to the WHO, including the U.S., the U.K., France and Japan. https://www.wsj.com/articles/coronavirus-strain-found-in-india-is-a-variant-of-concern-who-says-11620662311 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
