The Wyoming Department of Health on Tuesday confirmed the death of three Sheridan County residents attributed to COVID-19. Two adult males died early this month and one older adult male died in late August. All three were hospitalized. It’s unclear if any of them had health conditions recognized as putting patients at higher risk of serious illness related to COVID-19. This brings the number of Sheridan County resident deaths to 38.  There have been seven deaths as the result of COVID-19 since late July. Prior to the death in late July, the last death associated with COVID-19 in Sheridan County occurred in March. An older adult is categorized as those over 65. Additional information about the person is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPPA.

Deaths among Wyoming residents are added to the state’s coronavirus-related death total based on the location of a person’s permanent residence and official death certificate information. If death certificates do not describe COVID-19 as either causing or contributing to a person’s death, those deaths are not included in Wyoming’s count of coronavirus-related deaths.

    Why is it unclear if they had comorbidities? Did covid really kill them or was it something else. Can nobody see the corruption?

      If I have a heart condition and I’m killed in a car accident the car accident killed me. Why look for conspiracies when the truth is obvious?

        Do you do any research, or just shoot from the lip?

    To Deb. For the answer about unvaccinated vs vaccinated hospitalized patients see the Sheridan Media article, ” Sheridan County adds 23 more cases in 24 hours”.
