Just posted this in teh wrong thread
Italy announced today that 99% of its dead did NOT die from corona
instead, they died from a fatal combination of the drugs they were already taking and the drugs administered to them for corona
LINK JFC a blog, you idiot.
I'll see if I can find my post about it, but if you follow the blog and the article it claims states this, it doesn't.
It shows that the people who died in Italy from the virus had underlying conditions and the blogger has interpreted that as "well they didn't die of the virus then".
They did, sadly.
Their system was already overtaxed and they couldn't handle dealing with their preexisting condition and the virus. The virus destroys lung tissue and the bodies initial response is to kill those infected cells, which then releases more of the virus in the system, infecting not only more lung cells but the T-Cells as part of the immune response. For almost all healthy people, eventually, the immune system compensates for this, gets control and the virus is eliminated.
But depending on how long this takes and how much lung tissue is damaged, there can be lasting effects including compromised lung capacity and loss of taste and smell.
It's still early on and doctors are hoping taste and smell will return, but it's too early to know.
Long story short, those whose immune system is already battling something else cannot handle the virus and they either die from the damage to their lungs or secondary infections as their immune system is overtaxed.
Either way, them getting infected with the virus is what killed them. The claim, the conclusion by the blogger is untrue and not supported by anything whatsoever. It's a misleading interpretation of data to push a false claim.
