Note what it says..."For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the ONLY cause mentioned." That means that in 94% of cases, there were on average 2.6 other reasons for the person's death.
6% of 161,393 deaths is only 9,684 deaths.
So, if you are a perfectly healthy American, your chances of dying from Covid-19 once you ALREADY HAVE the virus is 9,684 out of 6,008,588 (total COVID positive test results in the USA) or 1.61 in 1,000.

At Risk: Pre-Existing Conditions Could Affect 1 in 2 Americans. (excerpt) According to a new analysis by the Department of Health and Human Services, 50 to 129 million (19 to 50 percent of) non-elderly Americans have some type of pre-existing health condition. [end excerpt]
Exactly why the focus should be on protecting elder care facilities and old people and NOT making the other 250,000,000 Americas stay at home, social distance or wear masks.
btw - the AVERAGE Covid-19 death lists 2.6 OTHER contributing factors... not 1 (ala obesity). yes, Americans are FAT. So if you're FAT AND have another risk factor (like diabetes), self-quarantine.
19 to 50 percent of non-elderly Americans have some type of pre-existing health condition.
I'm SURE your "only 9,684 deaths" is GREAT solace to the family members of the perfectly healthy Americans who died. You think that everyone who is't "perfectly healthy" should self quarantine and that means everyone who isn't "perfectly healthy" WILL self quarantine? Or do you think only a SMALL percentage of these people will?
The point is that "stay at home MANDATES" are stupid. The people at risk know who they are... NOW. It's ALL in Table 3.
Now, let America and the School kids gets BACK TO WORK!
STOP pretending that we ALL need to hide in our basements like Sleepy Joe does (and NEEDS to do).
So why is the projection that, by the end of the year, 300k people will have died? You think ignoring the virus or getting it on purpose is going to drive those numbers down? Sleepy Dotard has the dual risk of being old and fat :P
When it's all said in done, 282,000 of those 300,000 were well on their way to the Great Exit Door BEFORE COVID got them there, a little ahead of schedule. Only 18,000 will have been sent there by Covid alone. And FYI, over 7,000 people die every day? Is Biden promising to make THEM immortals, too?
Right, we're talking about people you don't give a shit about. You don't know how much life they had left to live if not for covid, you cold-hearted bastard. Immortality isn't the issue, it's tens of thousands of people dying before their time. People who didn't have to die (not yet), but for Dotard's criminal incompetence.
Did Trump bio-engineer the virus? Who knew?
He just ignored it for months, allowing it to spread. We've been over this several times.
He ignored it? What was he dancing with Fauci every night on the news about, then? What was all the whining about hydroxychloroquine? Who deployed the hospital ships and sent everyone the ventilators and PPE they needed?
Wanna know who didn't do anything? Joe Biden.
Joe Biden wasn't getting PDBs that warned of the virus MONTHS before Dotard finally did squat.
A new investigation reveals Trump ignored experts on Covid-19 for months. (excerpt) An investigation by the New York Times has revealed that experts and administration officials tried to warn Trump of the serious nature of the coronavirus pandemic early on. Alerts from high-ranking government experts began as far back as January, six weeks before his administration finally sprang into action on March 16, when he issued concrete guidelines for the public. [end excerpt]
Dotard's inaction COST LIVES. He MUST be removed from office or his horrible leadership and extreme incompetency WILL KILL more Americans. Not to mention the fact that he's bankrupting America JUST as he bankrupted 4 of his businesses (the Trump Taj Mahal in 1991, Trump Plaza Hotel in 1992, Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts in 2004 and Trump Entertainment Resorts in 2009).
Biden sent all the PPE's to Africa, then never re-stocked.
Dotard was president for 3 years and never restocked. And then he ignored the warnings he was receiving for 3+ months and did nothing.
btw, you think Biden was Dotard's VP? It was Pence since the beginning, dumbass.
Obama diverted the restocking money and Congress failed to allocate more. Try again.
Dotard had been president for 3 years. He only cut the budgets of agencies that would respond to a pandemic. What restocking did he order? The House and Senate were under republican control for the first two years of his administration. Try again.
lol! Trump spent more than Obama, whop cut the sh*t out of the budget... The stockpile’s budget reached a high of $596 million in 2010, then dropped year after year until reaching a low of $477 million in 2013. Much of the funding was restored the following year, but the budget stayed flat at about $575 million through 2018 – the same year it was transferred from the CDC to the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response.
The 2020 budget appropriation was $705 million.
Good thing Trump re-organized and got the budget out of CDC's hands, eh, Dervy!
You think Dotard deserves kudos for f*cking up the response -- necessitating that we spend more money. Piss off.
Biden's going to spend less? LOL!!!!!!!,
The response has already been f*cked up BY DOTARD. Spending less is now impossible.
Dotard is f*cking up the response now by not spending enough. Instead the republics think the priority is bailing out large corporations.
...om bailing out corporations:
Adam Smith, "The Wealth of Nations"
There is one sort of labour which adds to the value of the subject upon which it is bestowed: there is another which has no such effect. The former, as it produces a value, may be called productive; the latter, unproductive labour. Thus the labour of a manufacturer adds, generally, to the value of the materials which he works upon, that of his own maintenance, and of his master's profit. The labour of a menial servant, on the contrary, adds to the value of nothing. Though the manufacturer has his wages advanced to him by his master, he, in reality, costs him no expense, the value of those wages being generally restored, together with a profit, in the improved value of the subject upon which his labour is bestowed. But the maintenance of a menial servant never is restored. A man grows rich by employing a multitude of manufacturers: he grows poor by maintaining a multitude of menial servants. The labour of the latter, however, has its value, and deserves its reward as well as that of the former. But the labour of the manufacturer fixes and realizes itself in some particular subject or vendible commodity, which lasts for some time at least after that labour is past. It is, as it were, a certain quantity of labour stocked and stored up to be employed, if necessary, upon some other occasion. That subject, or what is the same thing, the price of that subject, can afterwards, if necessary, put into motion a quantity of labour equal to that which had originally produced it. The labour of the menial servant, on the contrary, does not fix or realize itself in any particular subject or vendible commodity. His services generally perish in the very instant of their performance, and seldom leave any trace or value behind them for which an equal quantity of service could afterwards be procured.
Republicans make "productive" investments, Democrats "unproductively" waste/burn money on servants.
"A man grows rich by employing a multitude of manufacturers: he grows poor by maintaining a multitude of menial servants".
The Democrats concern is the economic well being of us all, not further enriching the already wealthy. Interesting that you CONFIRM that is what republicans are all about. btw, such investments are counterproductive. Unless you believe (as Dotard does) that economic crashes are good (because rich people can swoop in and buy assets for a fraction of the price). While the rest of us get poorer.
