Only SIX percent of all the 190,000 or so COVID attributed deaths in the USA had zero comorbidities, meaning 94% had other ailments. The average number of comorbidities suffered by those who died was 2.46 per patient.
Lots of interesting numbers there. Food for thought.
What really needs to be looked at is what they call "extra deaths" - lots of interesting numbers there.
The number of influenza related deaths due to social distancing and travel restrictions is nothing short of astonishing, from memory better than 1 tenth of recent years, or a 90% decline. But my memory is old.
