Genuine question; When the media talks about “#coronavirus death cases” and “death tolls”, has it been confirmed that the CAUSE of death in each case, was indeed #Covid_19 ? https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1241417671960399879 …

A very valid point Michelle, the at risk group are 70+ strangely enough the same age group mostly affected by the "seasonal flu" which we have each year.

I’m pretty certain that it’s these poor people that are having the tests so they do have a handle on the actual death figures.

It is when the 15 to 30 age group (the fittest age group) start to drop like flies, then we know there is a real problem

Unforetunately I’ve heard on reports from a few hospitals in London that due to self isolation of ‘most’ elderly they are filled with the lower age groups. I think Italy and Spain have also reported lower ages dying. It seems at odds with reports from China.

But they add the footnote of underlying causes, without mentioning what they are. Pneumonia is the main cause of elderly people dying due to influenza, are asthmatics a vulnerable group?
