    Just bc someone has a pre-existing health condition, does not mean they would have anyways died this month, this year, or this decade. 'Underlying health condition' should not equal 'acceptable that they died'.

        Yes, 93% of UK COVID-19 critical care patients were in fact able to live without assistance of others in daily activities. (Recent data.) By comparison that's just true of 74% of viral pneumonia patients. https://www.icnarc.org/Our-Audit/Audits/Cmp/Reports …

        the fact remains that pneumonia, often caused by flu or other corona viruses/common cold viruses kills these patients anyway (cancer, dementia, CVD, MND, etc), sad but true
