Only 6% of US Pandemic Deaths Were Due Exclusively to Covid-19

Published by NBC on August 30:

According to the CDC 9683 died in the United States with only having COVID-19 listed on their death certificate.

According to the article this information was previously unavailable, at least for Michigan. I’m not sure how to check if it was unavailable for other states as well.

This is vital information. It emphasizes the role that our health (and, by implication, our lifestyle) plays in our viral outcome. It also emphasizes the fact that this cruel pandemic takes our most vulnerable.

Had they been forthcoming with this information six months ago we could have made changes in our lifestyle and increase our chances of survival.

The following are the top reported underlying medical conditions linked with COVID-19 deaths.

* Influenza and pneumonia

* Respiratory failure

* Hypertensive disease

* Diabetes

* Vascular and unspecified dementia

* Cardiac Arrest

* Heart failure

* Renal failure

* Intentional and unintentional injury, poisoning and other adverse events

* Other medical conditions

Note that some of these comorbidities listed on death certificates we’re actually caused by covid-19. But the ones that were actively present in the patient before covid-19 are the ones of interest.

Statistical Perception of Covid

Aug 19, 2020

Investment firm partnered w/ Gallup pollsters to study public perception of covid stats.

From an article about the report:

  • On average, Americans believe that people aged 55 and older account for just over half of total COVID-19 deaths; the actual figure is 92%.
  • Americans believe that people aged 44 and younger account for about 30% of total deaths; the actual figure is 2.7%.
  • Americans overestimate the risk of death from COVID-19 for people aged 24 and younger by a factor of 50; and they think the risk for people aged 65 and older is half of what it actually is (40% vs 80%).

HEADS ROLL OVER CALIFORNIA VIRUS DATA ERRORS

I really don’t see any reason to rely upon Covid-19 figures emanating from California government at this point, or in the near future.

Angell’s announcement comes after California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said the test results glitch caused up to 300,000 records to be backlogged, though not all were coronavirus cases and some could be duplicates. The problem affected the California Reportable Disease Information Exchange, which is also known as CalREDIE.
