Man In 20s Who Died In Motorcycle Accident Finally Removed From Florida’s COVID-19 Death List<\/h1>\n

\nSeveral days ago\u00a0we reported<\/a>\u00a0about a Florida man in his 20’s who had died from a motorcycle accident, but was subsequently placed on the state’s Covid-19 death list despite his (rather obvious) non-Covid related cause of death.<\/p>\n

This past weekend, after scrutiny from several news outlets<\/strong>\u00a0including Florida’s\u00a0Fox\u00a035, who\u00a0broke the story<\/a>,\u00a0the death\u00a0“was reviewed and he was taken off the list for COVID fatalities.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The decision to take the death off the list comes just two days after Fox 35’s initial report. Fox 35\u00a0did an investigation<\/a>\u00a0last week where they talked to\u00a0Orange County Health Officer Dr. Raul Pino about two\u00a0deaths of people in their 20s that were labeled coronavirus deaths.<\/p>\n

When they asked if the people who died had underlying conditions, Pino had\u00a0responded:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first one didn\u2019t have any. He died in a motorcycle accident.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

At the time, Pino was asked about whether or not the motorcycle victim’s data was removed from the state’s Covid system and responded by saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think so. I have to double-check. We were arguing, discussing, or trying to argue with the state. Not because of the numbers — it\u2019s 100\u2026it doesn\u2019t make any difference if it’s 99 —\u00a0but the fact that the individual didn\u2019t die from COVID-19\u2026died in the crash<\/strong>.\u00a0But you could actually argue that it could have been the COVID-19 that caused him to crash.<\/strong>\u00a0I don\u2019t know the conclusion of that one.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As Fox 35 noted at the time, it seemed to stand at odds with how the Florida Department of Health explained how they were reporting Covid deaths.<\/p>\n

The state had told Fox: “A COVID death\u00a0is determined if COVID19 is listed as the immediate or underlying cause of death, or listed as one of the significant conditions contributing to death. Or, if there is a confirmed COVID-19 infection from a lab test \u2013 and the cause of death doesn\u2019t meet exclusion criteria \u2013 like trauma, suicide, homicide, overdose, motor-vehicle accident, etc.”<\/p>\n
