Playing devil's advocate here.
Is these tests for the virus actually tests for the virus or tests for the symptoms? Because they stopped testing for the virus allegedly and just go on the basis of the symptoms if the information is to be believed.
Only reason I'm asking is because reading another sad story of someone losing their life at only 59, it mentions he was diagnosed with pneumonia as cause of death, underlying health conditions and retired from work 10 years earlier based on health.
Is it possible that the cause of death was pneumonia and not the virus at all? The article even says they can't be sure it was the virus as the cause of death until the post mortem
The real story here is a very sad one and by no means do I want to detract from that at all. I'm just asking , are patients going to be chalked down as dying from symptoms for the official number or are they sure before reporting them? I mean dying from the likes of pneumonia is a thing already , even in people with health issues.
