I think he could have brought this up in a more productive way.... He's going to get backlash for doing a quick tweet about a touchy subject, probably seen as rash...
That being said I imagine the numbers are exaggerated. The people I know in Healthcare say the hospitals and doctors are taking a hit from pushing back all the elective procedures. So they get kickbacks of sorts for dealing with COVID patients/deaths.
Take that with a grain of salt, but I imagine the numbers are inflated seeing as all other causes of deaths have dropped off.

If I fart when I am having a heart attack, did the fart cause my death?
Lots of people are dying with covid, but way less are dying because of covid. Just because you got the virus in your nose or have symptoms that could be the disease, doesn't mean it caused or contributed to your death.

The way I look at it is, under Trumps watch we've nearly eliminated cancer deaths, the seasonal flu, heart disease and many other leading causes of death. Sure Covid isn't a picnic but when you realize everything else he's nearly eliminated from our ultimate demise is pretty damn awesome.
He should get a nobel prize.

Just came from my brother-in-law's funeral. He was diagnosed with bile duct cancer in Feb. His Doctor said that lt looks like chemo can handle it. Right before he started chemo, the State shut everything down. If he would have been recieving chemo he could have kept recieving it, but, since he hadn't started he couldn't. When he finally got chemo, mid June the cancer had progressed too far. What stat is he under? My opinion is politics and government incompetence.
