  1. For a little perspective. Based on the total US population estimated at 330M by the US Census Bureau and the national motality rate of 8.2 per 1000 per annum 330M ÷ 365 x (8.2 ÷ 1000) x 90 days the US should have seen at least 666,000 deaths from all causes. I'm not saying C-19 isn't bad. What I want to know is are the 100K COVID-19 deaths in addition to that figure. Are the 100K deaths partially in addition to the 666K deaths we should have expected. If an individual has a terminal disease with a life expectancy of 3 months and contracts COVID-19 and dies should that death be considered due to the first condition or the second. When this is over teams of statisticians at the DHHS, CDC, insurance companies, other governments will be analyzing the data. Yes data can be manipulated. But the data properly analyzed can answer questions. Questions I for one have not heard being asked. Here in Wisconsin with a population of 5.81M and 510 COVID-19 deaths or .00877%. Based on US mortality rate Wisconsin should have seen close to 12K deaths in the last 90 days.
