This is from the CDC.
Compare the covid numbers (127,000 from above) to the above numbers.
86 deaths per 10,000 per year for all causes, we are at 4 with covid.
So lets double this number to 8 per 10,000. That is an increase of 10% of expected deaths. What are the odds of you dying this year before all of this? Your odds now are 10% higher.
I’m 56 years old, the odds of me dying this year was .85% now with covid it’s .94%. Don’t forget this number is with the death toll at twice what it is now.
RE: 86 deaths per 10,000 per year for all causes, we are at 4 with covid.
Yes, we are at 4 ( or 8 however you want to see it ) for JUNE 2020.
Just remember, we are HALFWAY through 2020, so we don’t YET know what the deaths per 10,000 for Covid-19 for 2020 ( the entire year ) will be.
