... 75,000 “excess deaths” during that period, 17,000 more than the number officially attributed to covid-19, the disease the virus causes. While several experts said some of the excess deaths in the analysis were almost certainly unrecognized fatalities from covid-19, the review suggests that many patients suffering from serious conditions died as a result of delaying or not seeking care as the outbreak progressed and swamped some hospitals. Normally, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. But in the early months of the pandemic, some hospital departments were nearly devoid of the heart, cancer, stroke...

Issued March 24, the guidance tells hospitals to list COVID-19 as a cause of death regardless of whether or not there’s actual testing to confirm that’s the case. Instead, even if the coronavirus was just a contributing factor or if it’s “assumed to have caused or contributed to death,” it can be listed as the primary cause.

The Coronavirus crisis took the US by storm, spiking unemployment and crashing the stock market virtually over night. The media is bombarding Americans around the clock with updates on the death count, highlighting death maps and scaring people into staying home. Governors are forcing small businesses to shut down and threatening to jail anyone who violates their authoritarian social distancing orders. The media hysteria is based on a Bill Gates-funded IHME Coronavirus model that has been proven to be way off. It gets worse… The amount of Americans who are reported to have died from the Coronavirus is based on...

It only took a month for coronavirus to become the third leading cause of death in the United States, according to a San Diego doctor and data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Background How do people die? How do people think we die? And is there a difference? Well, it turns out there's a fascinating study conducted by Paul Slovic and Barbara Combs where they looked at how often different types of deaths were mentioned in the news. They then compared the frequency of news coverage with the actual frequency of people who died for each cause. The results are what one might cynically expect: "Although all diseases claim almost 1,000 times as many lives as do homicides, there were about three times as many articles about homicides than about all diseases....

The New England Journal Of Medicine The New England Journal of Medicine takes a look at the leading causes of death in the U.S. from 1900 to 2010. The change is interesting, as is our ever-increasing longevity--something that scientists think may now reverse as a result of the global obesity epidemic. We've laid the findings out for you in a series of charts (and you can head over to the NEJM's excellent interactive graphic if you want to fiddle).

The report by French doctors reportedly describes a platelet disorder and speculates on its cause. The doctors, however, ruled out cancer or acute infection, Al-Qudwa says. "We have said that it is...
