So the 200,000 Americans are not really dead? Great news!

People die every day.

Also, according to the CDC only 6% of these are legit Covid only deaths.
The remaining 94% of deaths were casualties of people with serious comorbidities. These people would have died anyway in a year or two.

No one lives forever.

The Coco flu is a virus that is so deadly that most people have to take a test from the govt to know they ever had it.

It's a hoax.

Ntot quite right.

High BP is one of the common listed comorbidities and most people live for decades with it. Obesity too. And diabetes. Hardly serious, and very common.

In the UK the average age of death for Covid patients is on the eighties and a lot of old people have both diabetes and high BP.

I will say that large scale testing on test groups like the diamond princess and the town of Ischgl show that 80% of people wont know they've had it.

If you look at Ischgl they seemed to stop getting new cases after they had 2 die from 1729 people.

Either IFR is around 0.25%, or herd immunity kicks in around 45%. Prior is more likely, plus this was right back in February when we weren't great at treating it. It's more likely mortality is around 0.2%.

A lot of places have also been listing anyone who dies with a positive Covid test as a death caused by Covid, which apparently happened wholesale in New York.

So I'm not shitting myself as a chubby fifty year old.

You left out one crucial detail. Everyone dying from this is 70, or older.

Survival rates from the virus. 0-19 years: 99.997%. 20-49 years: 99.98%. 50-69 years: 99.5%. 70+ years: 94.6%.

Most people die when they're over 70.

This is completely normal.

So I'm not shitting myself as a chubby fifty year old.

They are reclassifying every normal elderly death a Coco (if they can get away with it).

This is a hoax.

No, 90% of the dead are 70 plus. Not all. A lot of these people will have had a good decade plus left in them. They weren't all circling the drain waiting for a nudge.

It's also a lot more virulent in people with dark skin living in temperate climes, thanks to endemic vitamin D deficiency.

It's about as bad as a bad flu, but we don't have a vaccine for it hence the deaths. We're probably having a higher mortality than we'd normally see because we had a really mild flu year in 2019, and we have a lot of elderly just waiting to catch the next respiratory infection and die.

Actually:

They weren't all circling the drain waiting for a nudge.

FTFY

CDC: 94% of COVID-19 deaths had contributing medical conditions

The remaining 6% either had an undiagnosed medical condition, or they were so old that there was no reason for an autopsy.

Exactly like the flu, because Coco19 is the flu. Literally.
