standard mortality rate of 1.8%

What is the rate without those already in nursing homes over 65? In other words, without multiple comorbidity factors.

With those who have multiple comorbidity factors, I doubt the word "standard" and that rate.

well, that’s a good question.
The 1.8% overall does include 186,000 nursing home deaths (AARP numbers)
https://www.aarp.org/ppi/issues/caregiving/info-2020/nursing-home-covid-dashboard.html

here’s some charts that show the nursing home deaths flatlined , excuse the wordplay, after Jan. as they were vaccinated in droves:

https://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/covid19/ltc-report-overview.html

We’re still left with plus 600K deaths of ‘not’ nursing home deaths

For the math, 600K over 48M cases as of Dec 1 (to be fair not to add the new Omi cases into the mix), it’s still a mortality rate of 1.3% for those under nursing home age. Either way you separate it out, tho, it’s 1 in 400 Americans already dead from covid.

And, the death rate of Omi isn’t added - and there are some deaths in the UK but not enough to really call a percentage yet.

From Nov 22 for reference: 47.7 million cases/771,500
