Being able to tell the difference between whether a person has died from COVID-19 or a separate cause while infected with the virus is important in understanding the overall trajectory of the pandemic, but is easier said than done, experts say.

. From the end of January to the end of February, the weekly average of deaths linked to COVID-19 dropped to 0.16 from 0.44 per 100,000 people. Recent statistics, however, are showing a steady increase in the weekly average of COVID-19-related deaths logged in Canada. As of Feb. 28, the rate is 0.21 per 100,000 people.

Dr. Darren Markland, an intensive care physician at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton, said he has been encountering more cases of COVID-19 in people with pre-existing health conditions. Deaths due to COVID-19, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada , are those for which the virus is the underlying cause of death, or the disease that initiated the series of events leading directly to a person’s death. For pre-existing conditions that are believed to increase a person’s risk of severe COVID-19 resulting in death, it should be counted as a death due to COVID-19, PHAC says.

Ultimately, Markland said, determining the primary cause of death is left to the discretion of the doctor caring for the patient.

Most peoplecwho died from covid probably died from complications from the vaccine.

They got paid to list all deaths as covid I think it was 13,000 dollars or something per covid death

World : “duh!”

I've been saying that from day one but nobody listened now we have found the lies out you finally admit what we knew all along

Coming to a conclusion 2 years after many regular people. These are the experts Bailout news uses.

Lololol been saying that since 2020 mate. Welcome to the fucking present.

That is just wrong. Distorts the truth

Really. Then open an investigation into covid deaths from 2020 to present. A bit of exaggeration EH?

Covid is thick icing of debilitation on the pre existing diseases

If they would likely be still alive if not contracting COVID, I think it is safe to assume that COVID was the cause of death.

This was common info a 12-18 months ago yet your channel continued to pump out fear and misinformation. Now your “journalists” wonder why they get heckled on the streets.

Bull 💩💩💩💩

You don't say?

Why are you spreading right wing conspiracy theories?

If I'm crossing the street...the driver has covid...I get hit...die...is it covid relatedcovid death Or death by covid

Who the heck are those 'experts'

If you have a heart condition , and get hit by a bus, you did not die from the heart condition.

My dad had heart surgery and was recovering in St. Paul's when he got covid and died. He would have recovered, but we had no vaccine yet. Hmmm

So we're back to playing the comorbidity game, random people deciding these lives really don't matter after all. Like really, we had to wear masks for 2 yrs what more do they want? /s

But yet they did....

Yes that’s so true. Because in my building one person died with diabetes the other of Kidney issues both succumb to Corvid . So what did they really die from? Corvid or the underlying pre-existing medical problems-:))

Smokers...yup!!

This has been known for 2 years and yet healthy people have been foced to get injections leading to severely negative outcomes

Most of them would still be living with their pre-existing conditions if they had not caught COVID. So there's that.

Ask the hospital or LTC if they get funding if it was a Covid19 death for cleaning and maintenance.

So I guess it's their fault if they die because they have pre-existing conditions? wtaf, seems like y'all are posting some diet eugenics shit

First, what the $%^ is this anti vaxer bullshit.... and second, if someone get in bad car accident and dies of a heart attack, it's because of the car crash....
