I wonder if a Positive test would have resulted in the deceased appearing of the CECC daily list of COVID deaths.

The poor bugger probably couldn’t get scraped into the ambulance until they’d done a COVID test, because rules.

Surviving that jump sounds like a worse outcome than not surviving, TBH.

EDIT: I’m confused now. Where’s this bit about him surviving?

Negligible chance of surviving a 13-story drop…unless you land on an awning or something.

Ah, no, I misunderstood Andrew’s post. It seems like he was dead (unsurprisingly) on impact.

I have heard of people surviving things like that, but usually under fluke circumstances.

I thought fire, police and fist responders (paramedics) could do also.

Person obviously dying from a fall in the USA = 100pct covid because hospitals get x dollars per covid related death

Taiwan doesn’t pay out for covid does it ?

Why bother even testing him for covid ?

I don’t know either way of course, but the article seems to imply he initially survived the fall:

> A security guard working on the night shift heard a loud noise, rushed out to investigate, and found a severely injured man lying on the ground.
> 
> When police arrived at the scene, it was immediately clear the man had died.

At least he didn’t have COVID though. Phew - a lucky escape.

Does anyone know if he’d been vaccinated or not? Maybe it would have helped him pull through.

Covid Mk1 made you want to travel around the world, maybe they think Covid Mk15 makes you want to fly?
