Oh, and in case anyone is still on the "people are dying from other causes and it's being called COVID", I recommend a revisit to the CDC Excess Deaths analysis:

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

Their data only goes to June 13 so far, and the freely admit their data is incomplete because as they state "NOTE: Data in recent weeks are incomplete. Only 60% of death records are submitted to NCHS within 10 days of the date of death, and completeness varies by jurisdiction." So if anything, they're undercounting the actual known deaths that have occurred. 

But they say that as of the week ending June 13, there are somewhere between 110K and 154K excess deaths since Feb 1. Their own data only ascribes 108K to COVID-19 by June 13. 

So we still have a mystery that somewhere between 2K and 46K extra people died "of something" than those we are counting as COVID-19 that wouldn't have died in any normal year by this time. 

that would go against the current death rate trend so that theory has no merit

Not really... The shape of the excess deaths mirrors the shape of the COVID-19 data, so there's no incongruity there. 




I'm talking more about the overall numbers. I think there are a lot of people who believe the 125K number attributed to COVID-19 is MUCH higher than actual. I think that's entirely backwards. If anything, it's more likely that we've undercounted COVID-19 deaths than overcounted.  

It doesn't refute the fact that deaths from COVID-19, whether we've over or undercounted, have been declining for the last 9 weeks from the peak.

I'd guessing that in 10 years we will read articles and family therapists will be working on issues where a grandchild brought COVID to grandma, she passed and now aunts/uncles/cousins blame them and the family has become split.

Dumbass kids.

dumbass older adults that interact with kids

I'll take this as a positive.



WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Government experts believe more than 20 million Americans could have contracted the coronavirus, 10 times more than official counts, indicating many people without symptoms have or have had the disease, senior administration officials said.

The estimate, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is based on serology testing used to determine the presence of antibodies that show whether an individual has had the disease, the officials said.
