No, but a long term condition could be exacerbated by a Covid infection, for example, you have COPD and type 2 diabetes and you caught COVID, the chances of surviving the Covid infection would be lower due to the other conditions. It’s one of the reasons why Covid related deaths in the UK were as high as they were, it was a governmental decision to record deaths that way
Interesting. So the cause of death, would be listed as Covid, when that was only a contributing, and not a sole factor. Thats one of the reasons that I dont trust stats, as they can all be twisted around to suit an agenda. I suppose that they they had to justify the costs of the barely used Nightingale hospitals somehow.
