For the last year that we have complete, finalized data (2018), there were 2,839,205 deaths in the U.S. according to the CDC ( https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/deaths.htm?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fnchs%2Fdeaths.htm )
We are 205 days (56%) into 2020, and the number of provisional deaths as of today according to the CDC is 1,476,140. ( https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/COVID19/
If we multiply the total number of 2018 deaths by 56% we get 1,594,622, or significantly MORE deaths than over the same percentage recorded in this pandemic year.
Now, I admit that this measure isn’t perfect, as some deaths are not yet reported, and the number of deaths from all causes changes from month to month. On the other hand, the population is somewhat larger than it was in 2018. Whatever objections one might have, there is no evidence that shows that a lot more Americans are dying this year than in other recent years (2015-2017 were similar, I only picked 2018 because it is the most recent.)
Even if you take the given number of deaths attributed to CCP Virus (~145,000), that is still less than 10% of ALL deaths in the U.S. so far this year, with many of the deaths coming from those who were already rather sick, very old, or both (often both). This isn’t the black plague.
those that would have died of cancer,heart failure, copd,diabetes, etc with covid would have died anyway statistically....I'm not being cold...I'm older and have high blood pressure and diabetes as well....
normally, 56 million people die each year in the world from something...56 million.....
