So without the flu those 180000 would have died anyway? So if you were blind and walked into a semi which killed you ? Should you get help for your eyesight?

Try that analogy again with an actual medical condition. Late stage diabetics die from heart failure. Cancer patients too. Or pneumonia as well and we have a vaccine for that. Hospital stays can lead to sepsis. Whats the real cause of death?

You know the average stay in a nursing home is mere months right?

If it makes you feel better call the CDC and ask them to include a section called covid complicated.

But to make it sound like millions of people are about to drop dead from just this virus is propaganda. There are 6M asymptomatic people walking around.

So is the CDC wrong ? Yes or no ?

Just being overweight for men is appearing to increase the risk of complications if contracting covid-19

The US has one of the highest rates of obesity in the world

Will testing of children become mandatory at some point?

The report says that in the 94% that died, all of them had 2 or more comorbities. Many were probably obese and immobile as well. These werent healthy people who got dropped by a virus. Average age of death in these cases was well into late 70s early 80s which is beyond the average life expectancy of general population.

So if one were to extrapolate these numbers for Saskatchewan, we have had a single one whopping death due to this overblown farce, correct?

My wife found that report on Saturday evening.

But thanks for throwing it up. It truly is unreal that Regina is voting today on mandatory masks, whether this report is in existence or not.

Just for fun get the virus and see if you suffer from the side effects the long haulers suffer from. Even people who recover may have lifelong problems, but who cares it is just the flu.

Even if you ignore the death rate , what is the cost to society of extra care for those infected .

Once again, and again, and again. People, critical thinking, please start sometime soon. A baseless conspiracy posted and look at all the immediate doopsters believing it.

Of note: Twitter removed a post earlier Sunday retweeted by President Trump for violating its rules with a false interpretation of the CDC's novel coronavirus data.

The post incorrectly claimed the CDC had "quietly" updated its data "to admit that only 6%" of those listed in the U.S. coronavirus death toll "actually died from COVID" and that "the other 94% had 2-3 other serious illnesses," CNN notes.
The post by a supporter of a baseless conspiracy theory has since been deleted.

Caring for our elderly and at risk populations is a different conversation that should have happened long ago. Maybe it will now.

The cdc numbers clearly show that its the at risk population that should be quarantined and masked up, not the general population.

And yes a discussion on personal health, nutrition and fitness is long over due as well. The American population especially because obesity and inactivity is a major problem there.
