Covid-19

Am I buying into conspiracy soup or would stuff like this be contributing to inflated death counts?

I read this guidance from the Ohio Department of Health, and it makes me wonder what kind of pressure doctors are facing...

"COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death."

"When 'probable COVID-19' is indicated on the death certificate, ODH/VS will consider these to be COVID-19 cases with regard to death reporting."

There is no doubt that the way they are computing them *increases* the numbers and points to something other than the true cause.

Honestly, it's usually the opposite: someone has flu and dies, often the COD is listed as the terminal event (i.e., pneumonia, sepsis, cardiac arrest). I think they are really trying to track accurate numbers.

@R.Caerbannog I honestly don’t know what % of our medical supplies are manufactured domestically. The New South Wales premier has just called on any manufacturing company that is able to make any of those items to do so. A food packaging company in South Australia called Detmold announced it was going to make 145 million surgical masks as well as respirators. Some distilleries here are converting production lines to produce hand sanitiser etc.

We have some great unity going on here at the moment and businesses, big and small, are helping where they can.

Hopefully some lessons learned from this...and remembered.

Just around the corner from where I’m working there’s a tailor who has gone it alone & making his own masks. 👍
As @Scarecrow noted, there’s some amazing things happening to get over this. Our national union boss is working with the government & big business. Three weeks ago, they were at each other’s throats. We’ve all realised it’s a unity of purpose moment.

As it was intended!

Not entirely sure how altruistic these acts are, they've got decreased volume going out the door and the capacity for another income stream during a tough 6 months ahead.

There's a few distillers near here that are making it, selling at cost to the public and donating the majority to healthcare and first responders. But taxpayers are bailing out everyone.
