A presentation about the weekly deaths per age group and causes of death, relating to Covid-19. This presentation is led by Dr Genevieve Briand, MS in Applied Economics and Assistant Program Director at John Hopkins University.
Interesting how heart issue deaths and flu deaths dropped suddenly as covid deaths went up.
Fits in with a discussion with Death Records Clerk who has been working for six years at the office handles death certificates, confirmed that doctors were given the directive – that any person that had covid like symptoms at their death was to have covid as the cause of death even if there was an underlying cause that would have made them more susceptible to death. And no proof or post mortem was required to show that covid was the cause of death.
