There are many people at risk that just don't know that they are. I have had two family members die in their mid 60's, one with a heart attack and the other from a stroke. Both were strong and active people with no signs of illness.

Excellent post, Vintage. OK, we always hear about those who died in spite of having no cofactors. It's very possible, and quite probable, that serious cofactors were present but undiagnosed before those patients succumbed to Covid, as you say. And we all know (correct me if this is "misinformation") that a death is labeled as a Covid death if the patient dies of ANYTHING else but is positive for Covid. Some say the hospital gets more funding if it's a Covid death.
The same exact thing used to happen during the AIDS era. A patient would die of a heart attack, for example, but if he was HIV+, the primary cause of death was listed as AIDS. Some things never change. And there's always more than meets the eye. Always.
