Does that necessitate shutting down medical systems? Does that necessitate people being out of work?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Erickson also asked why fatalities were being counted as COVID-19 deaths when other ailments were actually more to blame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen someone dies in this country right now, they\u2019re not talking about the high blood pressure, the diabetes, the stroke. They\u2019re saying \u2018Did they die from COVID?&#8217;\u201d Erickson said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been to hundreds of autopsies. You don\u2019t talk about one thing, you talk about comorbidities. ER doctors now [say] \u2018It\u2019s interesting when I\u2019m writing about my death report, I\u2019m being pressured to add COVID.
