You have stopped noting if the deceased had “underlying conditions”. Why? Are we to assume here? In understanding vulnerability, this is an important piece of info.
Additionally, dying w/ COVID vs dying due to COVID, is significant. A 30 yo person who succumbs after a serious motorcycle accident who has asymptotic COVID is not a “COVID” death (such reporting has happened).
Please, we are entitled to a full reporting on this matter. I believe my neighbors will do the right thing if told the the whole, truthful story.
Thank you.
