More than 60% of Excess Mortality in Younger US adults not due to COVID-19

Among U.S. adults aged 25 to 44, there were 19% more deaths than expected — or 12,000 people — from March through July 2020 (JAMA. 2020;Published online December 16).

The researchers — including Dr. Rochelle Walensky, who has been nominated to lead the CDC — report that 38% of this excess mortality was directly from COVID-19 (coded as either “underlying cause” or “multiple cause” of death), but that proportion varied by region. Deaths from COVID-19 were similar to or exceeded unintentional deaths from opioids in this age group in 2018 in several areas of the country.

The authors write that this may be an underestimate of the COVID-19 mortality burden in younger adults, as they may have been undertested.

Or not.
This lockdown is killing people and destroying lives.

[PROCON]

If it takes the CDC 90-120 days to collect, tabulate and publish total US flu deaths from the previous year, how is it possible to publish exact numbers of daily US covid deaths with any accuracy?

Answer: It isn't possible, the covid death numbers are being fabricated.

I'm not a covid denier but I do question the accuracy of these daily covid death reports.
