"2. It has been argued that Sweden has a very odd definition of covid deaths: if you had it when you died, you died of covid. Two recent studies showed that only 15% of those who "died of covid" actually died because of covid."
You are wrong. You are making the same lie that those in the usa are making when they try to claim that of 180,000 dead only 6% actually died of covid and the rest died with covid.
You die of covid when you die with fluid in your lungs of pneumonia. You die of covid when you get in a wreck and they have to take you to the next county over skipping the two hospitals that are overcrowded with covid patients. You die of covid when your heart gives out or you have respiratory failure. One thing causes the others and leads to the death.
Quit being ignorant or blatantly lying.
A source would help to make me fill like an idiot. Please make me feel like an idiot and have a source.
- ksaj 6y agoIndeed this reminds me of how they characterize dying "of old age." That nearly always means heart attack. Sometimes it means some other organ failure, and often it is connected to a cancer. But "old age" it is. Even though it could have been any one of dozens of conditions. It is often hard to tell whether those conditions are what killed them, or whether they aggravated a different condition enough to make that condition kill them. I think a lot of the issue with Covid is deciding whether or not to label the deaths in that same manner. Some countries do. Others don't. And they'll probably never agree which one is right.
