CDC is counting everyone who dies of respiratory related disease as Covid 19. On average 522 people per day die of non-Covid respiratory disease in this country. There is evidence that in NY that all deaths in some areas are being reported (as reported by funeral home directors). This is the reason for their outlandish numbers. Pay for play, as these deaths result in huge payments from the government.
Stay home if you are afraid, let the rest of us go back to our normal lives.
