Coronavirus Cases: 27,202,829. Deaths: 885,764. Recovered: 19,288,016.
So by the time i guess it's safe to say that covid's lethality is higher than the flu's.
According to the CDC's own website data for the U.S., 94% of Covid-19 deaths had comorbities with some other cause of death (e.g., flu, pneumonia, heart disease, heart attack, blunt force trama, cancer, etc.).
Only 6% of related Covid-19 deaths were tagged as "Covid only" cause.
Also, 99% of Covid-related deaths were over the age of 65. The majority were 70+.
If you take out comorbidities then almost no one would "officially" die from an illness. Many/most people over 65 do have comorbidities.
Most of the covid infected people that die do so because of an acute pneumonia, if you exclude that your stats are useless.
Also, are you sure about 99% of covid related deaths were over the age of 65? Source?
I do agree that the majority were over 70+ though.
