"There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition, and let's say the virus caused you to go to the ICU [intensive care unit] and then have a heart or kidney problem," she said during a Tuesday news briefing at the White House. "Some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death.
"The intent is ... if someone dies with COVID-19 we are counting that," she added.

One study found that early administration of hydroxychloroquine makes hospitalized patients substantially less likely to die
By Joshua Nelson | Fox News
Dr. Harvey Risch, an epidemiology professor at Yale School of Public Health, said on Tuesday that he thinks hydroxychloroquine could save 75,000 to 100,000 lives if the drug is widely used to treat coronavirus.
“There are many doctors that I’ve gotten hostile remarks about saying that all the evidence is bad for it and, in fact, that is not true at all,” Risch told “Ingraham Angle," adding that he believes the drug can be used as a "prophylactic" for front-line workers, as other countries like India have done.

The anti-malarial drug lowers cholesterol and blood sugar and makes blood less sticky, which is good for reducing blood clots and heart attack risk.
If you take the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) as part of your treatment for lupus or rheumatoid arthritis (RA), you may be getting cardiovascular protection as an added bonus.
That’s welcome news because it’s estimated that about half of lupus patients experience heart complications, and heart attacks occur at younger ages in lupus patients than in the general population. Even as young adults, black and Hispanic women with lupus often have plaque build-up in their arteries that hikes their risk of heart attack. And experts have long known that people with RA are more likely to develop heart disease, even if they don’t show signs of clogged arteries: inflammation from arthritis disease activity is thought to be the link.
Because hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has been associated with lower levels of cholesterol, blood sugar, and the tendency of blood to clot — all cardiovascular risk factors — researchers looked at the association between HCQ use and the occurrence of heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots (in lungs or deep veins). The results were presented at the 2019 American College of Rheumatology/Association of Rheumatology Professionals annual meeting in Atlanta.

Nancy has now said it's the Trump virus. I thought it came from China.

Or there's a lot less than being reported. Which is much more likely since testing is tragically unavailable and/or overwhelmed in many places in the USA. Our numbers mirror other countries per capita where there has been poor management and a rapid increase in spread. But I know your agenda states that you must believe otherwise cause government is bad... unless it's a secret police hauling people off in unmarked cars, or dumping billions into the MIC, or passing laws that decide what people can do with their bodies... then you all can't help but go all LINO.

Nancy knew it was coming to the U.S. from China, before it arrived. People are going to be SHOCKED when the evidence is revealed.

Look at how the CDC suddenly stopped tracking FLU hospitalizations in mid-April of this year!
See the chart here: www.cdc.gov...
It's likely that people with FLU were being classified as COVID-19 Infected.
