@ronniebaker4549 to add on how the death count is overstated, as I said, 40% are from nursing homes. The median life span of a new nursing home patient is 5 months according to UCSF. Thus, with this virus being around 6 months of the 180,000 deaths you need to eliminate around 20% of them at least because they are people who were statistically going to be dead to begin with during this time period.

@ronniebaker4549 the deaths are overstated. As is 94% are comorbidities where the average number of underlying conditions is 2.6. 50% of the deaths are people over the age of 75. 40% of deaths are in nursing homes where, statistically, 50% of new nursing home patients die in 5 months to begin with. Sure, you may point to a handful of individuals who were apparently young (I find it had to believe) and suffered or died, but they are extremely rare and isolated. It is like this, on average 7500 die a day in the US, many cases are preventable. We, as a society, never talk about that. We talk about when someone dies in a school shooting, or a factory exploding, or via a F5 tornado. Why? Because those are rare and isolated events, not the norm. You bring up the 27 year old because it is a rare and isolated event. Right now these lock downs has led to increases in substance abuse, antidepressant use, suicide attempts and other issues.

@erkuza9220 I agree. Sad really.

@Sixkidlets68 the death rate is low and the recovery rate is increasing every day. Put it like this, we are seeing around 40,000 cases a day but less than 1000 deaths. In April we were seeing over 2000 deaths a day with around 30,000 cases. The fear mongering needs to stop.

Broken Winged Phoenix originally over 2 million were predicted. Next, 40% were in nursing homes where, statistically, 50% of new nursing home patients die in 5 months. So of that 170,000 you bring up you have to take of at least 20%. I would argue 50% as half of deaths are 75 and older. Now take that and consider the average life expectancy. 94% also had comorbitities where the average number of underlying conditions is 2.6. In all, people who are dying are either old or sick to begin with. When someone brings up the death count they are making it sound like they died purely of covid when in fact other factors are at play.
