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.
Regardless of the cause of death, the number of “excess deaths” in every country around the world shows something nasty is working its way through the population.
This link shows a large spike in the USA. Similar trends are reported in the UK and Sweden.

Although it’s also worth noting that the UK and Sweden have dropped back to more “normal” mortality rates. Even the USA is significantly lower than the peak in early April.
Anyone that says “only 6% of deaths are really due to COVID” is missing the point entirely. How many people die on a normal day with multiple reasons? I don’t know and I’ll bet just about no one on here knows either. Death I’m sure is never very simple, especially if you’re old and have many health issues.
Fact is “excess mortality” is probably one of the best statistics we have to show the real threat from the pandemic:
- “it’s the same as the flu”
(nope the peaks are much higher than a bad flu season)
- “the CDC/WHO/govt is lying about the scamdemic”
(so how do you explain the large spike in total mortality then??)
- etc, etc....
