I apologize, but I am trying to understand your thinking, so please bear with me and respond once you get a chance. Are you suggesting that we do not count as "valid" or disregard the deaths or the possibility of treatment of those our citizens who already have an illness or disease? Or not attribute their deaths to the Coronavirus? Do you have a system in place which would allow specific comorbidities, but eliminate others? Would you make use of the Elixhauser Comorbidity Index(ECI)?
It seems to me that it would undoubtedly be suitable to the Charlson index since there is much less of an age factor coming to bear upfront, and many of these unfortunate soon-to-be-former-citizens won't be around in many cases long enough for a proper period of observation. And, of course, one could always add an age factor to the ECI once the Indexer "lays eyes on, as it were.
Plus, with proper use of the ECI, there would be such a broad range (thereby providing the indexer a more extensive pool of comorbidity determinanees and thus expanding the size of the group).
Under your system, how do we determine those who we do not treat and which we do include in your CVID-19 death count?
Perhaps, you are suggesting that all this data we seem to be gathering is unimportant? Whatever your views, they sound interesting. Please tell me more. Some on this board think that you may be on to something.
