Because i don’t have the actual numbers off hand I used the avg per day of previous years to find a nice middle ground between all the months.

While I don’t doubt at all that hospitals will fuck around to get paid.

I doubt they’re making up dead bodies that don’t exist in any significant numbers

The numbers I used were for total dead from all causes, not covid or covid related, but all deaths.

The resulting number is the # of additional people who died from the virus, the virus making a existing problem worse, or any of its butterfly effects (like say alcoholism from job loss due to the lockdown)

The whole point is the CDC’s 169K probably isn’t completely crazy.

If anything the numbers the cdc provide confirm what people think

The virus alone in healthy people is no big deal, but if you have a preexisting illness or condition, it could fuck you up bad.
