U.S. reports 195,000 new COVID-19 cases in one day, a record

Even though you called me a fucking idiot, I feel like your comment was smart enough to respectfully respond to.

I review death certificates for a living, and I can tell you, almost every death I see with covid on it also has an end stage illness included on it as well. Just as you said, the "vulnerable population." If someone has end stage vascular dementia and then catches covid, its not exactly accurate to say covid killed this person, yet it is reported as a covid death and is added to the tally. I have only seen 3 covid deaths since this started that didnt include a terminal illness.

If they separated deaths into "people that died of covid" and "people that died with covid," I sincerely think everyone would be rethinking this reaction, especially when you compare it to all the massive amounts of causes of deaths this country does not care about. Yes it tragic when anyone dies, but the damage we are doing to the lives of healthy people by locking them up and scaring them just does not justify it.

I know I'll be called an idiot and downvoted but so be it. Your fear is being used against you as a political tool by known liars.
