Mannfm11: so looking at the article in the link, we just have to look at total numbers, say for the last 5 yrs for total deaths in the us, removing accidents and homicides, etc. Look at 2020 so far, it looks like the total deaths remained about the same? Then it means from the data, a lot of natural causes of death have been labeled COVID19 and that is in our face everyday and so believe covid is killing a lot of people. But as the paper says, the usual top causes saw a large reduction in 2020. This means that to coroner just shift some of what would be heart attach and cancer to covid.
I would expect to see the usual death rate for the natural causes about the same from 2017, 2018, 2019 in 2020, but that is not the case.
So, when we truly look at the COVID death rate, it is much lower than what we see on the Worldometer site. I am expecting this to be same world wide.
