Yeah, not saying they shouldn't be counted. There should be two categories
though. One for deaths 100% attributed to the virus and one for those with underlying conditions.
We like to just look at the overall number, shout doom and gloom/"flatten the curve," and shut down our cities. But if we look at the demographics of victims of the virus; I just don't think it's all doom and gloom and we are overreacting on a scale never before seen.
For most of us there is a very very strong chance that we will survive the virus without ever needing medical intervention. It's the second category that are overwhelming hospitals and it's the second category of people who should be on quarantine while the rest of us try and prop up a failing global economy.

Were people in Utah being told to self quarantine a few weeks ago? And now COVID is a complication of old age?
