Current Events > what is this facebook post going around about hospitals changing deaths to covid

(+) Yeah! (+)

was gonna post a pic of it but when i went to look for it again it seemed to be gone maybe facebook flagged it as fake news or something

but anyways its basically a list of 2-300 facebook and twitter posts of people claiming that relatives and whatnot who recently died of different causes (cancer, etc), the hospitals put on their death certificate covid-19, i guess as an attempt to inflate numbers or something?

its my understanding that if anything, we are probably underestimating the actual numbers, rather than over estimating. and i cant really think of why hospitals would lie about how many covid patients are dying.

idk. just seemed like dumb facebook fake news getting spread around again i was just surprised by how much i was seeing this one being posted even by not-so-crazy people.

any input fellas/gals?

If older people are the ones sharing/ spreading it on Facebook, there's a 95% chance it is entirely false and a good chance the exact opposite is true.

It's a lie by the same people that claim COVID-19 is being politicized to hurt Trump. Business as usual.
