Oh man, how the goalposts keep shifting

Yeah, I'll admit I approached that with the wrong strategy. That was a mistake. Time for a new one:

Freedy initially mistook his COVID-19 case for sun poisoning, but tested positive for the virus after experiencing chills, lack of appetite and trouble sleeping. After being sent home from the hospital after his diagnosis, Freedy's condition sharply declined.
In a GoFundMe account created for her late fianc, DuPreez said Freedy was "miserable" after testing positive, was "beside himself" in pain and feeling "scared." When Freedy experienced dizziness and trouble breathing, she brought him back to the hospital, where doctors found pneumonia in his lungs and placed Freedy on oxygen.

When they returned home after spending a couple days in the Southern California city, Freedy developed a painful skin rash, according to DuPreez. Based on his symptoms he was getting chills and couldnt sleep, eat or get comfortable they thought it was a case of sun poisoning.
Freedy went to a hospital where he tested positive for the coronavirus. He was sent home to isolate, DuPreez recounted on a GoFundMe account.
Later, she wrote, Freedy woke her up in the middle of the night, complaining that he couldnt breathe and felt dizzy. They went to the hospital and he was admitted.
Scans showed that Freedy had developed pneumonia in both lungs and he was placed on two oxygen machines.

Freedy began feeling unwell following a trip to the beach; they thought he had come down with sun poisoning. After testing positive for COVID-19, he was admitted to the ICU with double pneumonia and placed on a ventilator.

He was getting chills, couldnt eat, couldnt get comfortable, couldnt sleep, du Preez told KLAS. All symptoms of sun poisoning.
Eventually, Freedy tested positive for COVID-19 and developed difficulty breathing with pneumonia in both lungs, du Preez said. His family hoped for the best, but in the end he did not survive the virus.

I'll let you google "Freedy Covid" to find any of the remaining dozens of news outlets reporting on this story if you want to further corroborate what these are saying, but let's look at the common elements:

• "Sun poisoning" (which is a series of symptoms associated with bad sunburns), no mention of actual sun stroke/heat stroke. It would appear that was a duckbear-ism
• Pneumonia, which is distinct from the pulmonary edema seen in lung failure due to heat stroke
• Covid-19 identified as the cause of death in every instance, which has presumably come from medical professionals and not the media
• Symptoms emerged a couple days after heat exposure and worsened from there, which is entirely the opposite of how heat stroke typically manifests (that is, symptoms arise while still being exposed to heat, then improve gradually once the patient is cooled down and kept cool)

And I'm sure you can find a few more commonalities between them if you look, all leading to one pretty solid conclusion: There is no reason to believe that his death was not due to Covid. This leads back to my initial question:

Why are you the way that you are?

You entered this topic pre-assured (for no reason, I might add) of the conclusion that he did not die of Covid, looking for any possible other explanation to cite to prove that belief. When you found one, you presented that not as a possible alternative, but as the real truth "they" were trying to conceal by humiliating this family, a position which you doubled down on when challenged by calling everyone that disagreed with you idiots. Why do you do this? Why do you assume that everyone is lying to you unless they agree with what you've already decided must be true? Why are you so attached to this narrative that Covid death counts are being artificially inflated that you look for contrived explanations that you can use to deflate those counts everywhere you go? Why are you the way that you are?

As an aside: Why would you ever suggest that a confirmed diagnosis of a disease that pretty routinely causes high fevers in its victims was irrelevant to somebody dying of heat stroke? Even without having the actual facts of the case (that is, that he didn't have heat stroke but clearly did die of Covid-related pneumonia), that's a thoroughly ridiculous thing to suggest.
