Brenda Bock, a Colorado coroner, says she’s shocked over “inflated” COVID-19 death tolls in Grand County.
Now she’s speaking out to local news outlets to call attention to the way the state health department is reporting some deaths as coronavirus-related.
Bock, according to the Daily Wire, said that Grand County’s five COVID-19 deaths include two gunshot wound victims.
“It’s absurd that they would even put that on there,” she said. “Would you want to go to a county that has really high death numbers? Would you want to go visit that county because they’re contagious? You know, I might get it, and I could die if all of a sudden one county has a high death count. We don’t have it, and we don’t need those numbers inflated.”
