Hmmm, seems like the fear mongering is finally getting checked.

 

Table 3 shows the types of health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in conjunction with deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death.

Blatantly misleading headline and post. Shame on you for intentionally spreading misinformation.

It is not news in any way that the majority of Covid 19 deaths involve people with one or more pre-existing conditions.

 

But that's not the same thing as saying they didn't die directly because they got infected with the virus.

 

For example a person might have well controlled asthma for 40 years and then develop Covid 19. They wouldn't have died prematurely if they hadn't been infected. 

 

While the cdc source is legitimate for sure the disgustingly blatant distortion of the actual meaning of that information is bogus.

I think this matches what most all the world has reported, +90% of the persons dying with covid 19 already have existing serious conditions.

But thats not in any way the same thing as saying that only 6 percent of reported covid 19 deaths died of covid 19. The CDC isn't saying that. But its clear that the politically motivated conspiracy brigade is going to jump on this and intentionally distort it.

The COVID scare was fake ....... as most of us sensible people thought all along.

[Dumbastheycome]

So what singular feature of  Covid-19 is it that this  6% died from? And of that 6% who were  not  elderly, did not have significant  underlying or pre-existing health  issues what part of their  metabolism failed causing death?

This is a ridiculous diversion from  the "causative" factor in untimely death as a result of  Covid-19 infection.
