The covid deaths reported CDC are about have the grim number reported by news outlets. This apparently explained by the news reporting on cause of death, while the CDC reports from actual death certificates which lag the reported cause of death. Ok. That's interesting, or not.
What is intriguing is looking at pneumonia deaths. Which if the number reported here is low by the same magnitude as covid, would be over a 100k. Apparently this happened every year. but we accept that as reality and move on. After all, it mostly kills the elderly in nursing homes and those with other issues.
I'm hearing covid carnage next week is when gets bad. And then the second wave..
