So he stays at home for 14 days, feels a bit under the weather, but basically has had covid and recovers from it... No big excitement, no hospitalization. Just feels poorly for a few days and that's the end of it...

Fast forward to Early this month, 4 months later and he's driving home from work when he gets obliterated in his car at a junction by a drunk driver going 80MPH. He didn't stand a chance... So what goes on his death certificate? Automobile accident? Severe Crushing of all bodily organs? Nope. Because he tested positive for Covid 4 months prior to the crash, his death was reported as being from Covid-19...

Seriously. You couldn't make that shit up. Its only recently been changed so that doesn't happen anymore. In the last few weeks or so, which is why I know about it...

I know it sounds like I'm trolling but Im not - Heres a link to the change - https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/public...-data-revised/
