The total anon on Twitter?
My money (if I could bet I would) is that he is full of shit.
I don’t know a single person who died of Covid. And he knows 20? I work at a hospital. Even if I didn’t, there’s a glaring incongruence there.
Deaths from other causes are being misclassified as Covid deaths, using that umbrella term, so that hospitals can get payouts. I’ve seen this happen in my own experience.
Hospitals are even encouraged to assume that Covid was the cause of death which can be done even in the absence of lab testing.
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.
There’s even another official document that says it can be with or without lab testing but I don’t have that available right now.
If you or anyone is interested, I took a picture of a patient’s chart who was the first patient claimed by my hospital to have died of Covid there. You should see the laundry list of other chronic illnesses — prostate cancer, congestive heart failure, morbid obesity — that that patient, who was in their 80s, already suffered from. “Covid deaths” is just an exercise in misleading miscategorization and relabeling.
