Hey Emporer-If she did not have COVID-19 she would not have viral pneumonia. Viral Pneumonia, unlike the more common Bacterial Pneumonia, cannot be treated with antibiotics. The pneumonia that COVID-19 causes tends to take hold in both lungs. Air sacs in the lungs fill with fluid, limiting their ability to take in oxygen and causing shortness of breath, cough and other symptoms. Technically, when her heart stopped she died. That was probably secondary to her Pneumonia which was probably secondary to or caused by COVID-19. I have filled out, processed and read more Death Certificates than you could imagine. You can't pull this "three card monti" debate trick on me. Her death was caused by COVID-19.
