[QUOTE="Golfboy307, post: 185997, member: 39462"] This 6% number is getting a lot of internet traffic. Our news last night did a bit of "debunking" of this stat. First, the CDC has been reporting these numbers 2 per month since April. So not a bombshell. More importantly, most death certificates list more than one cause of death. Medically speaking: co-morbidities. For 94% of the cases a second cause of death is listed: respiratory failure, heart failure, blood clot, pnuemonia etc. All things that can be made worse or caused by Covid. All this is telling us is what we already know: older people with pre-existing conditions are much more likely to die of Covid or from complications thereof. How many of those 165,000 would have died during this time period without covid? Hard to tell, certainly some. That is why the excess death number is important. For 2020, the US has over 200,000 "excess deaths" compared to the average of prior years. To me, that is the telling stat. [/QUOTE]
