I hate how the fake news reports it. They say we're "approaching the grim milestone of 200k dead from coronavirus," knowing damn well that the statistic is actually recorded as dead "with" COVID. Meaning "if you die and you have a positive or even presumed COVID infection, you're recorded as a death with COVID."
If you die in a motorcycle crash but had a positive coronavirus test, you're a death with COVID.
If you die from cancer but you had a positive coronavirus test, you're a death with COVID.
If your IQ is above room temperature, you can see how this paints an inflated picture. Yet the media uses it to imply that coronavirus by itself has killed 200,000 Americans.
According to the CDC, only about 6% of overall COVID deaths were actually due to the virus alone. The remaining 94% had 2-3 co-morbidities and/or advanced age (usually both). That means the actual death toll from COVID alone is only 12,000.

Kek. China's death count might be the only thing they didn't lie about.
Average age of death: 79.
Average number of Comorbidities: 2.6
% of deaths linked SOLELY to covid: 6%
This is, and has been for many months now, easily accessible information.
"Trust the science!" my fuckin' ass with these people.
