But you can have both... how many have been reported as COVID when it wasn’t a factor? Technically George Floyd would count as a Covid death.... if he was active as has been reported. 

I don’t think knee on the neck is a side effect of COVID.

You’re right. The issue of misreporting falls more as incorrectly reporting deaths as China Virus when it actually comes from something else. So I guess the number is less than .3%. Thanks for the clarification. 

Okay. The epidemiologists would disagree with you, but what do they know, right?

There are reports of false negatives; as well. My youngest son had symptoms, yet his test was negative. He had a sore throat, body aches, a headache, and debilitating fatigue. I took him 3 weeks to recover; even though, he is a college athlete in great physical condition. 11 people on his track team contracted Covid-19. He was tested with 4 guys, he was the only one who had a negative result, his roommate also tested positive.

I only know of one person that I believe was a false negative... but she had all of the symptoms. Hopefully she’ll take the antibodies test at some point and clear up whether she’s had it. 
I think there are a lot that have had it but aren’t included in the official stats because they weren’t tested or never had symptoms. I also think there has been some “fudging” of the numbers in regards to COVID linked deaths as well... so many of the deaths were nursing home patients, and let’s be honest... a bunch of them had to have been on DNR restrictions. A freaking UTI can do you in when you’re 90+ years old. 
But it sounds like you kid probably had it.

But if you were recovering from COVID with lung scarring, etc, an otherwise harmless knee on the neck could send you on to the promised land a little earlier than we’d all expect. 

You saying the knee on George Floyd was harmless? Did you watch the video?

It didn’t kill him... that’s been proven. 
 

But that’s not the point. If a person has other medical issues AND COVID, the cause of death is “COVID.” If granny is 89 and has a DNR.... guess what? Covid. If a person has end stage Alzheimer’s and has been bed ridden for two years and unresponsive for 9 months and somehow contracts Covid....COVID. If a person has cancer and has exhausted all possible treatment plans and is on hospice waiting to die and a CNA spreads the virus to the cancer patient. Covid. 

There’s a reason that over half of the Covid casualties here have been residents in long term care facilities at the end of their natural lives.

The cause of death would go into their proper category if weren’t an election year. It will all come out eventually.

What was the cause of death? Are you privy to the coroner’s report?

As I was leaving the gym about an hour ago from my daily workout, I was approached by a young man from Ch. 6.   He asked me if I would be willing to be interviewed regarding my thoughts on Donald Trump and the Corona Virus.    Hmmmm    Let me see- were these guys truly concerned with the health of the President or was this an attempt to replicate CNN and/or MSNBC?    I wonder?   The young man was very polite and courteous and accepted my refusal over my concerns that my comments might be edited or politicized.   Chances are  he was just doing his job.  Chances also are that someone else sent him on his mission and he was unaware what such interviews might produce.    I would guess they found some willing participants hence I will be watching, with great interest, Ch 6 news tonight.

I think so. He wouldnt take another test, like i suggested. I talked to him yesterday, and he said he still is tired, but it is not debilitating.

After he’s better he can have a test for the antibodies that will be present if he’s had the virus. 
That one is just a finger prick, not the nasal swab.

    • It’s been awhile, but I seem to remember 5 D starters out & 2 O starters out (OL). A big difference is that Simon wasn’t involved yet. He’s totally changed LP’s rushing attack from last year as a bruising, explosive addition to Barnes, Sandolph & Bright. Last year—and early this season—LP was missing that element. Now, Coach Berneathy is not making talented players wait like many other coaches & even his predecessors at LP. If the kid can produce at the varsity level, they’re moved up. And man, has Simon produced! Over 1200 yards & 20 TD’s in less than a full season so far! It’s allowed LP to alternate RB’s where Barnes doesn’t take all the pounding. Barnes and Sandolph are also able to split out as receivers as desired to add threats that weren’t really an option last year. The PNG/LP game was a full-on tilt & good for both squads. I remember Gary Joseph in the end zone giving his son pointers as an extra set of eyes since he’d had experience with LP in past PO matchups. That was a good game. The score wasn’t really indicative of the game. Not sure anyone felt it was over until the final whistle! Good luck to y’all in Cajun Country. Bring back a win for SE Texas. (Yes. La Porte is still SETX. Ha!)
    • SEC fan bases before Texas got there: “The horns aren’t ready for this. Every week is a battle.” SEC fan bases after Texas arrived: “Texas has the easiest SEC schedule ever!” SEC fan bases after every one of their teams has lost to one or more SEC teams from the bottom half of the standings, many of whom Texas beat comfortably: 🤐
    • With a big win against the rival to close out the year… look to see Lamar make the playoffs next year
