The CDC comes clean.

In the US, the CDC has admitted that only six percent of the 180,000 deaths were due only to Covid-19. The other ninety-four percent had preexisting conditions.

Downplaying the deaths of individuals with pre-existing conditions is a form of ✨ableism✨

In America, the actual number of Covid-19 deaths is equal to four days of abortions.

@RightSaidFred yes , we’ve got different opinions about that , time will tell , that’s fine. Could you answer my question about why you think it’s only in America, not in other countries, that you think people should stop wearing them at that point?

@RightSaidFred ok, I don’t entirely agree with you about that because all the Americans I know who wear masks do so for health reasons but I do know you’re right that the issue has regrettably been very much politicised too. It should simply be a health issue, like it is in my country, not a political one.

Yep we knew the numbers were cooked.

If someone dies in a car crash, and had, say, cancer, or COPD, or diabetes.... they don’t list the cause of death as cancer, or COPD, or diabetes
@AbbySvenz creepy!!

@AbbySvenz That is what I have heard, too.

Okay? It was still COVID-19 that was the cause of death [b]along with[/b] the preexisting conditions. What's your point?
Right. So instead of having about 10-30 more years to live, they only had a week.

That's almost the same! 😨
Right, but would those preexisting conditions have caused death or did adding COVID to the mix contribute to the death? If so, I’d say the death was due to COVID, no matter the “only” part.

Same goes for AIDS. They may die of pneumonia or an infection, but that doesn’t mean we should discard that AIDS was the main culprit.

That does seem shocking until I realise that just about everyone has health issues

My 'pre- existing' condition is asthma, which from memory affects about 10% of the population

This is a very twisted representation of how CoVid contributes To the rate of death. It’s scary what some people say and how poorly it’s understood. “Comes clean”?

That's not very surprising

Getting a vaccine will help reduce the infection stats, and the US will probably have a big role in getting vaccines out.

Effective medicines would also help make the virus less of a threat.

still … that's almost 11k. and … that 6% might be an exaggeration as well … how about .6% ?
