Most Deaths During The Spanish Flu Were Due To Bacterial Pneumonia
How Many Deaths Attributed To Covid May Be Due To Bacterial Pneumonia?I.E. People may've Died WITH Covid but FROM Bacterial Pneumonia?
How many lives may've been Saved if Covid patients had been treated with Antibiotics?
But antibiotics weren't Prescribed because Covid is Viral - Not Bacterial?

BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA CAUSED MOST DEATHS IN 1918 INFLUENZA PANDEMIC
IMPLICATIONS FOR FUTURE PANDEMIC PLANNING
(Emphasis mine, Mick)
The majority of deaths during the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 were not caused by the influenza virus acting alone, report researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. Instead, most victims succumbed to bacterial pneumonia following influenza virus infection. The pneumonia was caused when bacteria that normally inhabit the nose and throat invaded the lungs along a pathway created when the virus destroyed the cells that line the bronchial tubes and lungs.
The work presents complementary lines of evidence from the fields of pathology and history of medicine to support this conclusion. "The weight of evidence we examined from both historical and modern analyses of the 1918 influenza pandemic favors a scenario in which viral damage followed by bacterial pneumonia led to the vast majority of deaths," says co-author NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. In essence, the VIRUS landed the first blow while BACTERIA delivered the knockout punch."

It also raises the question whether widespread masking is sound Public Health Policy.
In response to: Source: University of New South Wales - April 22, 2015
Summary:
Respiratory infection is much higher among healthcare workers wearing cloth masks compared to medical masks, research shows. Cloth masks should not be used by workers in any healthcare setting, authors of the new study say.
The widespread use of cloth masks by healthcare workers may actually put them at increased risk of respiratory illness and viral infections and their global use should be discouraged, according to a UNSW study.

All that information was Available WELL Before Covid arrived on the scene.

If someone is shot with a gun and dies from the bullet piercing his heart there would be no murderer.
Your logic need checking
Based on the conclusions study of the Spanish Flu, it was the Viral Flu AND Bacterial Pneumonia that killed people.
From the way co-author, Dr. Fauci phrased it, "Bacterial Pneumonia dealt the KNOCKOUT PUNCH', it might be presumed that the Death Certificate should've listed Bacterial Pneumonia as the Primary Cause Of Death & Influenza as Secondary.
'Course, the study was conducted Well After the Spanish Flu Pandemic -
Bacterial Pneumonia wasn't suspected at The Time, so Death Certificates would've listed Influenza as THE Cause Of Death.
Applied to the Current Pandemic -
If Bacterial Pneumonia is playing a role similar to what it did with Spanish Flu -
Significant numbers of people may've died (and May Be Dying) Primarily due to Bacterial Pneumonia rather than Covid.
If death was caused by Bacterial Pneumonia -
It would've been Treatable with Antibiotics, as it's Bacterial and Not Viral - as is Covid.
Antibiotics are Effective against Bacterial infections, but Not Viruses.
Yeah. I Know. There are a LOTTA "IF"s there.
I'm not sayin' it's So ... Just Asking Questions - Hypothesizing, one might say.
As he passes the 50th floor, someone yells, "Are You OK??"
Falling guy, "So far - So Good!!" ...
That has NOTHING to do with the blog topic -
But Blue's comment reminded me of it.
Going back to Spanish Flu -
Bacterial Pneumonia might be said to be Opportunistic -
It could infect - And Kill - persons made More Vulnerable by having Contracted Influenza.
Could it Now be using Covid as a Similar Opportunity? -
Infecting - And Killing - persons made More Vulnerable by having Contracted Covid?
As noted in the study co-authored by Dr. Fauci, were there Lessons to be Learned from the Spanish Flu that could be Applied To "Future (now Current) Pandemics?
From Dr. Fauci's 2008 Study ...
"IMPLICATIONS FOR FUTURE PANDEMIC PLANNING"
Have we Failed to APPLY Those Lessons? ... Those IMPLICATIONS, if you will?
One of the earliest videos I saw on Covid-19 was from Doctor explaining, in detail, that Covid, itself, didn't kill people. But it did allow for things like pneumonia to kill them, and for many people, that is exactly what would happen. This has been a noted fact, since almost day-one.
I was unable to find a vid sayin' Exactly what you described - But I found This ...
Note that it was posted to YouTube July 10, 2020 - 1 1/2 Years Ago -
The News program must've aired Before then, and the Pneumonia must've been spreading before That ...
Perhaps as Early as COVID itself.
Could THAT - or Other strains of Pneumonia - be what Causes the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) associated with COVID?
Relative to the World Population at the Time -
It'd be like a Pandemic Now wiping out 1 - 3 BILLION People.
Covid will have to kill 10,000 TIMES
DAYUM!!
Mortality rate from hospital-acquired pneumonia - Silver Bookhttps://www.silverbook.org › fact › the-mortality-rate-for.....
Note to Self -
Avoid Surgery.
If you fall out of a plane, high building...
You die before the impact as your soul leaves the body before, when death is imminent.
If Cardiac Arrest was the Immediate cause of death -
That'd be listed on the Death Certificate as the Primary Cause -
The Internal Injuries would be listed as a Secondary Cause that contributed to/brought about the Cardiac Arrest.
If the person had been driving drunk -
Acute Alcoholism could be listed as a Tertiary Cause.

Obtaining First Person accounts of the experience would be difficult.
Kinda obvious.
Having read a few autopsy reports, they're very dry and factual. This led to that which led to cardiac arrest causing death... The coroner goes through the pathologists report, the police report, etc etc, and in the case I described it would be listed as a fatal car accident. Internal organs, cardiac arrest, lifestyle, substances in the bloodstream, other medical conditions will be in the pathologists report but not on the death certificate.
But look on the bright side, if the same scenario person also had covid 19, it would still be listed as a fatal car accident. Contrary to popular misconception, they do autopsies on dead people with covid 19, but only in hospitals with positive ventilation systems (in the major cities).
Medical Primary Cause Of Death - Cardiac Arrest.
The line between Legal & Medical can become blurred.
A car was found crashed & the sole occupant dead.
It was determined the driver had died of a Heart Attack Prior to the crash.
It was Not considered to've been a Legally Defined vehicular mishap.
This would've become Very Significant had the car hit another vehicle & injured/killed people in that vehicle.
I only know this from a spiritual perspective.
The same applies with other traumatic death, torture etc as our body has a pain threshold.
So far i haven't seen any paper with government stamp on it that says its natural,and i wonder why..
Black death was in another century,along with spanish flu still those 2 did in the facts plenty of damages,and perhaps yes because we weren't that evolved back then,certainly today we have evolved enough to find a permanent cure for enough diseases ,but we are still stuck on paying plenty of money to pharmaceutical companies to give us medicines that only limit the effects while leaving behind side effects in the long run..
Private Sector...
Yep human kind has evolved enough only on making become rich those that already are rich and leave the rest bent to the will of greedy frackers...
Human kind evolution
