200,000 "dead" is irrational speculation.
5,000 supposed CoVID19 dead ÷ 30 = 166
200,000 ÷ 166 = 1,204 days
Alternatively...
200,000 ÷ 60 (peak) days = 3,333 dead/day
7,700 regular dead/day + 3,333 = 11,033/day
Nope.

Thats the same thing I am wondering. I remember reading something yesterday which was talking about how China Flu deaths are being recorded if a person dies with China Flu, rather than dies FROM China Flu. They used to have to prove that there was a reasonable way for a disease to have caused a person's death. Nowadays some deaths are probably purely coincidental. It only serves to inflate the numbers.
Same criteria as regular flus. Blame what you find instead of underlying causes.
A poor diet for decades leading to obesity, diabetes and heart disease, but it was a virus that killed.
