A link I posted yesterday. The 6% number is misleading, too. For those interested in accuracy.

You are assuming that those are deaths from ONLY COVID and Pneumonia, which they aren’t. A majority of those deaths likely still had other comorbidities.

In the long run, it doesn't matter anyway. What people fail to understand is COVID-19 main use is a political weapon. Not a virus that is infecting people.

If you know what I mean? Swine Flu would be a better example. Swine Flu killed a lot of people. But Swine Flu came and went. Why was that? Because simple they had no need for a political weapon back then.

Will people care if the number is misleading? Nope. Will people care if you use the figures correctly? Nope.

The narrative is too ingrained in the sheep. Even in people that will be going out to vote for Trump in November.

Are you accounting for traditional pneumonia and flu deaths? Just asking. I have not seen any good charts of annual flu and pneumonia deaths overlaid with the current Wuhan SARS numbers.

If I understand it right, the CDC co-morbidities table linked to my post was only for those with COVID. Did any of these also have influenza? I don't think it says one way or the other. The disease codes they bunch together 'J09-J18' for "Influenza and Pneumonia" seems like it's for all kinds of pneumonia: some of them being influenza, bacteria, other viruses. https://www.icd10data.com/ICD10CM/Codes/J00-J99/J09-J18.

They should have provided the numbers of how many also had influenza, which kills a lot of people every year.

There are some people who are trying to estimate "Excess deaths", in other words how many more people are dying this year, compared to how many traditionally die in a year. I'd imagine this type of estimation depends on a lot of statistical nonsense, and might be in-accurate to specify deaths due to COVID, for example when so many more POC are being murdered by police this year than ever before haha.

No I didn’t mean they had both an influenza strain and COVID, just the “excess deaths” as you mentioned. It’s not being reported so I am curious if it is a nonstory or if the weekly deaths for pneumonia and flu and possibly myocardial infarction are being reported at “reduced” levels due to being classified as COVID.

I bet deaths from myocardial infarction are bing reported at reduced levels, because they're being blamed on COVID.

What I've figured out through this exercise is that basing studies based on what doctors write on death certificates is near-useless.
