    You're challenging the cause of death. The burden of proof is on you.

    does the virus stay alive after you die? If so, how long?

    If only we would have had testing 6 weeks ago we would have known this then.

    Did you know a labradoodle breeder was in charge of the HHS group leading the covid response. True. Friend of a friend, bootlicker, dog breeder for 6 years before assuming senior position at HHS leading major part of pandemic response.

    How do you defend this level on cronyism?

    HHS chief Alex Azar chose a former labradoodle breeder with minimal public health experience to lead the department's coronavirus response

    ABC news just reported (5) 30-40 yo all healthy had significant blood clots, mostly lungs, one with leg clots lost his leg. Dingy, post #8233 mentioned many Docs are treating COVID clotting with anticoagulants when possible...I don;t believe the flu causes clots...COVID playing dirty pool.

    I posted a few days ago that a known broad way actor had to have his leg amputated while fighting covid.

    No. My wife works in medical field. She has been assigned to intake at at a testing center. They maxed out today at 240. They had been averaging 150 up until early this week. 240 is all they are allowed to see in a day. Not a good sign

    just wait for the data to come in from Drs Birx and Fauci, or the CDC...wild speculation serves no purpose.

    Good question. There has been at least one study that found a bunch of positive cases after people were thought to have recovered. I'm thinking in S. Korea. Seems that the researchers aren't sure if they were truly infected again or whether the virus was still in their system at previously undetectable levels and then reactivated.

    Coronavirus May ‘Reactivate’ in Cured Patients, Korean CDC Says

    *Sorry, misread your post. Not sure about after death, but I'd imagine it would live for some period of time.

    No, you are challenging "the story." No opinion of experts or proven facts shall ever challenge the current story.

    If irrefutable facts are presented showing "the story" to be a lie (ie, "We have corona virus under total control"), blame will be apportioned and the story modified accordingly. One must be vigilant to ignore/deny/dismiss facts and pay attention to "proper" sources. (sarcasm meter, pegged).

    no, in reality,imo, the burden of proof is on the CDC, they are, afterall, the ones who told doctors they could if they believed covid19 to be the cause of death to list as such. they need to put out some guidelines for them to follow.

    It doesn't matter what your opinion is. Doctors are experts and see the person firsthand. If you're challenging their determination, you have the burden of proving it wrong. That's how it always works. For example, if your wife has a child and puts your name on the birth certificate as the father, you have to prove (to the extent a state allows you to challenge that) you're not the father if you want to challenge that (if, for example, you found out that she cheated on you and you don't want to pay child support after a divorce for a child who isn't yours).

    Admittedly, I'm playing catch up on the antibodies study story out of NY, but if it's even remotely accurate, can we open this #@#%!#@%#@ up already!?!?

    The infection numbers from the Santa Clara study, coupled with their deaths, gave a death rate of 0.09% (working from memory, it's a few pages back if you want to go look it up). This wasn't realistic because we already have enough deaths in New York to get to 0.1% if the entire state was infected. And the entire state isn't infected (if it was, they wouldn't be getting any new infections).

    in some cases doctors saw these people a week after death, who knows how the body reacted after death, was it hot, cold in the room?

    according to the covid tracking project charts, 505,000 test were run the last 2 days with 59,000 positive tests, that seems much better, around thew same per day positive with many more tests done.
