Let's see if she has the balls to politicize it.

Sounds like a great guy. However, age and hard use caught up to him - he had a bout of cancer, was hospitalized for pneumonia a couple of months ago, before eventually succumbing to Chinavirus.

Senator Elizabeth Warren's oldest brother, Donald Reed Herring, has died from the coronavirus. He was 86.

...

The Globe reports that Herring was diagnosed with cancer several years ago, and was hospitalized for pneumonia in February. He was moved to intensive care on April 15, and was not on a ventilator before he died.

The senator wrote that she is "grateful to the nurses and frontline staff who took care" of her brother. "But it's hard to know that there was no family to hold his hand or to say 'I love you' one more time — and no funeral for those of us who loved him to hold each other close. I'll miss you dearly my brother."

If Obama was President, Herring would have lived to 126.

If a guy like that dies of a respiratory infection - wouldn't that normally be called "natural causes" before the age of Wuhan panic?

I'm sure that was her original plan until it was reported that he had cancer and pneumonia.

Basically, the word on the street is, her entire family consists of great people. I guess she was the black sheep.

Covid is "natural causes" even though foolish processing and consumption of exotic animals caused the species hop. Still, it's useful to be specific about covid-related deaths. This pandemic will be studied for decades.

Why would you think that?

Covid-19 may or may not be natural causes. Whether it is man made or not is currently being investigated.

Didn't realize this was spreading so rapidly in the plains/western states, as he was likely social distancing hunting buffalo and trying to sustain himself off his native american lands....

Must be deadly to the 1/1024 Indians

Well, he was in the hospital and probably Physical Therapy (the new way of keeping old people producing revenue) after his several bouts of issues, where he got COVID.

So he CAUGHT Covid-19 while in the hospital?

If we're not safe in a hospital were not safe anywhere. We might as well open up.

He also might have caught it in the nursing home.

They never send elderly people home anymore, they auto-send them to physical therapy in a nursing home after any hospital stay of any length.

The Industry wants the States to keep this policy since it allows them to bill the fuck out of Medicare.

If you are 75 and released from a hospital for a stroke or heart attack, knowing you have only months left to live and want to die at home, they insist you go to a nursing home for physical therapy and learn to walk again in the weeks before you die, so they can bill Medicare.
