“We’ve unfortunately had six pure, solely coronavirus deaths — six out of 3.3 million people,” San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond said in an interview this week, according to the San Diego Tribune. “I mean, what number are we trying to get to with those odds? I mean, it’s incredible. We want to be safe, and we can do it, but unfortunately, it’s more about control than getting the economy going again and keeping people safe.”
San Diego County Public Health Officer Wilma Wooten disagreed with Desmond’s assertion that the vast majority of deaths in the county were individuals with preexisting conditions.
“Their life is no less valuable than someone’s life who does not have underlying medical conditions,” she said. “This is not just San Diego.
This is how this is done throughout the entire nation in terms of identifying who has died of COVID-19.”
