The real covid numbers

[Sangersteve]

Only 6% of the reported covid deaths were from covid.

Good luck trying to wade through the 100's of pages on gobbldegook on the CDC website trying to find that.

Interesting that nobody died from having a ventilator tube jammed down their windpipe into their lungs which netted the hospital an additional $26,000.

Why are we just hearing about this now?
The people in charge should be held accountable somehow.

Some of us have been saying it for 6 months or so. Where have you been?

Wake Up America. You’ve Been Conned. Only An Estimated 9,683 Covid-19 Only Deaths So Far In 2020, Not 180,000
About half-way down the screen page The Center for Health Statistics August 26, 2020 update on provisional death counts for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) states the following: “For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned.”

Oh. You mean America is not undergoing a pandemic? On average, abut 8000 people die per day from all causes in the United States. In the first 8 months of 2020 there were only ~1200 excess deaths per month or 40 extra deaths per day exclusively due to COVID-19 coronavirus infections, with 80% of those among American age 65 and older. By extrapolation, there were only ~8 excess COVID-19 only deaths per day among working-age adults and school-age children.

Translation: of the 161,392 accumulated COVID-19 RELATED deaths reported as of August 22, 2020 (80% being among Americans age 75 and older), only 6% or ~9683 accumulated deaths were classified as COVID-19 only. Among these COVID-19 only deaths, ~60% were age 75 and older; 80% were age 65 and older. So, there were only ~2000 COVID-only deaths in working age adults and school-age children.

As I said months ago, the only way to know the scope of the pandemic is from the number of excess deaths. Nationwide this year to date they are at about 10% and dropping every week. Texas is at about that in spite of supposedly being one of the states in the worst of the resurgence, and deaths and all leading indicators there are rapidly dropping. Probably at year's end this won't even be a modern record for nationwide excess deaths.

I said exactly the same thing. Excess deaths for the year will tell the real story.

I haven't looked at the numbers but I suspect traffic fatalities are down. That would have to be factored in.
