The Pathologist will do a coronavirus test and autopsy to determine cause of death.
Mean spirited is what it really is.
Let's be real....will the government be honest with us if she had corona?
Watch for symptoms
People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness.
Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:
Fever or chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
This list does not include all possible symptoms. CDC will continue to update this list as we learn more about COVID-19.
Research diligently in the the reports that are not mainstream CDC.
CDC symptoms and ilness is not at all " one size fits all" keeping in mind the reality..
.Black lives do not matter.
Wearing those mask is not only pointless if you consider the size of a virus but by depleting your body of oxygen it can lead to hypercapnia which may explain why she had trouble breathing.
