(sigh)
I get what you are saying BUT......those folks that died WITH Covid may just be alive today if they did not contract Covid. We will never know how many of those folks with comorbidities that died WITH Covid could have continued on with their merry lives with the treatments and medications that had kept them alive until Covid got to them.
