Covid has 580,000 deaths in 32 million cases = 1.8%

Only 6% of Covid deaths had no other comorbidity per CDC statements last year. I have not heard of them walking that back.

Death Certificate–Based ICD-10 Diagnosis Codes for COVID-19 Mortality Surveillance — United States, January–December 2020

During 2020, approximately 375,000 U.S. deaths were attributed to COVID-19.

Among 378,048 death certificates from 2020 listing COVID-19, 5.5% listed COVID-19 without codes for any other conditions. Among 357,133 death certificates with at least one other condition, 97% had a co-occurring diagnosis of a plausible chain-of-event condition (e.g., pneumonia or respiratory failure), or a significant contributing condition (e.g., hypertension or diabetes), or both.

These findings support the accuracy of COVID-19 mortality surveillance in the United States using official death certificates. High-quality documentation of death certificate diagnoses is essential for an authoritative public record.

And you won't. People with Diabetes and Hypertension live for several decades with that comorbidity.

I understand, if you have diabetes and are treated for it, you will likely outlive your non-diabetic peers.

A comorbidity doesn't mean they were at death's door waiting for a cold to do them in.

And how many people don't have a comorbidity? And if COVID exacerbated a comorbidity to cause the death, it still caused the death.

Meaningless.
