let’s not round - approx. 0.00564 - based on 124,282 deaths as of 06/24 and the 22 million estimate.
not even worth a mention on the US daily cause of death count.
The problem with 124,282 deaths number is that half of them were unnecessary. The northern Governors murdered 10s of thousands by putting active Covid patients in nursing homes.
Next, hospitals were throwing patients on respirators early for money. The death rate for normal respirator patients is around 40%. In New York the death rate was 88%. Fluid buildup from this virus made respirators twice as deadly. If respirators were the last resort, 1,000s would have been saved.
Finally, Orange Man Bad reaction to a perfectly fine HCQ, Z-Pac, and zinc prophylactic combination needlessly caused thousands of deaths. If used early and often the contagious and recovery time would have been cut by 2/3rds.
Governors, stupid political scientist, and greedy doctors/hospitals (extra money for respirators) caused half the death rate. This thing likely was no more than a bad flu if treated and contained properly.
