I see this constantly being reported.
I've had one doctor explain this as such:
Nobody actually dies "from" Covid. No-one.
You die "because of" Covid.
i.e. Covid makes you sicker and weaker, and then you die of whatever can take you out the fastest.
Kind of like the bad AIDS. No-one dies "of AIDS" - you die of "AIDS complications", or diseases spread due to a compromised immune system from the AIDS.
@Splinty please qualify/expand.
Namaste
In this case they specifically state that if the death is not a result of covid, they list it as a covid death. They don't say "If we think it contributed to a death" which would be the more honest way of going about it.

As an aside, I'd be curious to know what ended up on George Floyd's death certificate seeing as he had an "inconclusive" autopsy followed up by a positive covid death.
I doubt that number will be substantial. They don't test for corona without a reason. Well, not here anyway.
Yes, very sad, he tripped and fell and passed out because of the rona and was then run over.
The rona is brining out all the Karens.

Coronavirus traces found in March 2019 sewage sample, Spanish study shows
Spanish virologists have found traces of the novel coronavirus in a sample of Barcelona waste water collected in March 2019, nine months before the COVID-19 disease was identified in China, the University of Barcelona said on Friday.www.reuters.com
There are a lot of people in Texas who talked about that. Seems we had a bad flu season in our area and people wonder if it's from this.

8,530 new cases reported in Florida today.
This does not mean our numbers are dropping. There are simply fewer data entry employees working on weekends. I expect Florida to hit 12,000 some time this week.

Do you know how they differentiate between fine amounts?
We Texans really do not like government overreach or the perception of government overreach.

$250 is the standard fine for first-time offenders. The $500 fine is for two violations, and the $15,000 fines were for repeat offenders or establishments that stayed open after being ordered to shut down.
I'm rooting for you guys.
You can't let Texas beat you.
Idk, large groups of people sitting in close proximity, air-conditioned environment...
March 2019 was the sickest I've ever been. Every symptom checks off a box on the Rona checklist. I thought at the time, and still think it was just a bad flu, but this development gives me some pause.
They wouldn't dare commenting negatively on the protests.
Social distancing in a place with assigned seating is a walk in the park.
Especially when the leader of the country attended a week after admonishing people for protesting to reopen the economy.
If the covid elements is what pushed one over the cliff then surely covid should be held accountable.
