ORLANDO, Fla. - A person who died in a motorcycle accident was added to Floridaâ€™s COVID-19 death count, according to a state health official.

FOX 35 News found this out after asking Orange County Health Officer Dr. Raul Pino whether two coronavirus victims who were in their 20s had any underlying conditions. One of his answers surprised us.

â€œThe first one didnâ€™t have any. He died in a motorcycle accident,â€ Pino said.

Heart attacks, accidents, old age, diabetis, anything at all will be counted as COVID, because it is more a political issue than a medical issue. Also, there is a lot of State/Federal funding determined by how many COVID issues an area has.
With political and financial issues in play, all the numbers are suspect.
But not to worry, if the Democrats win the next election, the entire COVID situation will disappear in one day just like it never happened. Because...you know...the Democrats fixed it of course.

Yesterday it was Florida. Today its rigged Covid infection reports from South Carolina. We're being scammed by the media big time.

I cannot imagine how stupidity - even government-bureaucrat-grade stupidity - could explain counting gun shot and motorcycle crash deaths being counted as due to Covid-19. My imagination won't pretzellate to that degree.

I figure that if I'm going to be stuck with a weird super-hybridized language like American English, I going to have fun with it.
