A strange story out of Tennessee makes you wonder about the COVID death counts. Troy Whittington told what happened to him recently regarding his mother who had died in February from Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The Mayo Clinic describes COPD’s symptoms as “a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. Symptoms include breathing difficulty, cough, mucus (sputum) production and wheezing.”
You will note that the symptoms of COPD are very similar to COVID and before the pandemic hit, people used to die of COPD.
But apparently not anymore.
And it took some tricky COVID testing by Tennessee health officials determine this as she allegedly tested positive for COVID in June, three months after she died.
WND explains:
“It’s been six months, almost seven, since she passed away,” said her son, Troy Whittington.
“There was no testing that was done at that time. On her death certificate it was stated she died, what the cause of death was, and it was not COVID-19. It was COPD.”
Whittington said the letter arrived recently (the letter is dated Aug, 20), even though the purported test was conducted in June, making it useless in more than one respect.
“I’m just having a hard time understanding how they can say someone has COVID-19 when they are not even alive,” he told the station last week.
