With the newly revised CDC death rates, the percentages are even lower than that in the US.

So less people die than the last years (95%)
39910 Covid-19 deaths and less than 6000 from flu. Good to know a cure for the flu is found.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/

Data as of May 5, 2020

-	COVID-19 Deaths	All Deaths	% of last years	Pneumonia Deaths	Deaths with Pneumonia and COVID-19	Influenza Deaths	Deaths with Pneumonia, Influenza, or COVID-19
Total Deaths	39,910	751,953	95	67,372	17,683	5,910	94,681

the last 2-3 weeks have not yet added complete data as it takes time for the CDC to collate data
what you do need to realise is that the weekly average of flu and pneumonia(other causes) did not go down. meaning that those with other flus are not pushed into the covid numbers.

take the week of the 4/4/2020. and compare it to a week in january before this whole thing started in america

-	COVID-19 Deaths	All Deaths	% of last years	Pneumonia Deaths	Deaths with Pneumonia and COVID-19	Influenza Deaths	Deaths with Pneumonia, Influenza, or COVID-19
2/1/2020	0	57,403	97	3,697	0	471	4,168
4/4/2020	8,219	65,140	117	8,839	3,934	436	13,345

it shows 8k covid(lab confirmed). then lots of other amounts for other stuff which then total 13k
yet public stats like worldometer are not showing as that week having 13k deaths as covid they are showing just ~8k.. heck they are not even showing 65k (all deaths) so that disproves the whole classing all deaths as covid.
heck they are not showing 79k meaning worldometer and public stats are not just throwing random deaths as being covid.
the numbers for the week ending 4-4-2020 tally. and the number of deaths from other flu/pneumonia have not decreased from their average. so that suggests doctors are not mis-classing death causes as covid.
infact some of the just pneumonia cases have increased meaning some may have had covid, and just not tested.
again revealing doctors only class as covid if it tests positive

doctors actually run tests and do scans and diagnose. they dont just play ailment lotto and pick a random cause.

anyway numbers for 4/18/2020, 4/25/2020, 5/2/2020 are not manipulated or revised down. they are just not yet included because data is still coming into the CDC where they double check things. thats why its called provisional

You are so silly. Deaths from Covid and deaths from other things don't just happen that way because they are suddenly diagnosed. If that were the case, you could say that people around the world barely die, because doctors don't diagnose the cause of death of millions of people. Those people aren't really dead. No doctor said they were. They only act like they are dead, right?

Covid in January = 0
Covid in April = 8,219

Nobody know that for sure. Doctors could easily have been misdiagnosing or misreporting the numbers for either month. Get some proof already.

Cool
