David Muir on the ABC evening news, misleading about COVID-19

 On the 6:30pm EST ABC evening news a few days ago, David Muir said two things about a twenty-something teacher. Perhaps 30 million people heard this. Without using her name here, it was claimed she died of COVID-19. That is not exactly true. Flu is not one of over 100 causes of death on the CDC list.  She died of a major organ failure. That's what the death certificate will say. If she died with pneumonia, it can be assumed COVID-19 was the cause, assuming she tested positive. She happened to be very overweight. That was not mentioned.

The only other fact about the teacher that we were told on ABC, and elsewhere, is she died two weeks after returning to the classroom.  The only reason to mention that is to imply contact with a student led to her death. And that implies schools should not be open.

Not mentioned was the fact that she had no contact with children in her school, because there were no children in her school. Only virtual learning, with all the children at home. So why was "returning to the classroom" mentioned?  It was mentioned to imply the country needs more lockdowns. This is smarmy ABC leftist-biased propaganda designed to disrupt the US economy as much as possible, while Trump is president.

Perhaps this was not as bad as Joe Biden and Andrew Cuomo blaming Trump for COVID-19, and the partial economic shutdowns that were entirely implemented by state governors, such as ... Andrew Cuomo. The leftist lying now has reached a level that is almost beyond belief.
