Laws? Canadian Justice operates on the feelings of judges and prosecutors.

"I like that one, he's indigenous and oppressed, let him off the hook. Give the white guy his sentence instead. He could learn something from this."

In the US, a lot of this reporting is being driven by money. Hospitals get extra federal money for treating "Covid" cases. Since regular "elective" procedures stopped for so long, the healthcare system was starved for income.

Sen. Scott Jensen, R-Minn., a physician in Minnesota said, "Hospital administrators might well want to see COVID-19 attached to a discharge summary or a death certificate. Why? Because if it's a straightforward, garden-variety pneumonia that a person is admitted to the hospital for – if they're Medicare – typically, the diagnosis-related group lump sum payment would be $5,000. But if it's COVID-19 pneumonia, then it's $13,000, and if that COVID-19 pneumonia patient ends up on a ventilator, it goes up to $39,000."
