I'm not going to go into detail, but where I live we have very few high profile covid deaths. In fact, I don't know of any. So what did the media do? They found a local pseudo-celebrity who had two different types of stage four cancer, tested his corpse for covid, and declared him a covid death when it of course came back positive.

Two different types of inoperable cancer. Chalked up to covid. They did a great job of convincing me not to trust the numbers that day.
