What's the relationship between the October 2020 case in Iowa and this February 2021 case in Texas:
> A neurologist from Methodist and an ear, nose and throat doctor diagnosed her with pneumocephalus days later. Pneumocephalus is when there has been a rupture in the dural membrane, or the lining that’s around the brain, which allows air to enter the space that’s normally occupied by the head.

Leaking spinal fluid after a Covid nose swab with similar symptoms. And subsequent discovery of a condition unlikely to have been created by a nasal swab, but rather aggravated by it. I did add an edit to note it's a different person.

Thank you. What wildly irresponsible journalism.

You're using traditional statistical requirements rather than Covid-specific standards. For example, we count anyone as a Covid death if they happen to have the sniffles when they walk in front of a bus (with, not of).
It's important to include events like this else it gives some fringe groups ammunition to understate the seriousness of the pandemic.
