Yawn. About 5.5 million more Americans have been born this year than have died. For many of those who have died, death was not too far around the corner regardless of whether or not COVID had emerged or not. The past six COVID deaths in my town have been to people in their 90s. None of us gets out of here alive, and when we leave, there will be others to take our place.

A number of states are now having very high numbers in ICU beds. It clearly is NOT just old people lose to death anyway.
How did would prefer to say "yawn" to 130,000 deaths rather than admit he was dead wrong about this.
Preexisting conditions sure are a public health menace!

Remember when you said the US would have 2600 total cases?

Bad Wiggins and joedirt have no memory of their own past positions and no shame. One of the reasons Trump can scare other Republican leaders are his dedicated minions like joedirt and bad Wigins who will deny reality and support Trump no matter what he does.
Those two and the millions like them have given trump the power to destroy this country.

94% of the deaths attributed to Covid happened to folks with multiple deadly conditions.
Average age at death 82.
Includes "probable" Covid deaths. And Covid-related and Covid-linked deaths.
So how many of these deaths really are due to Covid and would not have already occurred without Covid.
Who knows? But taking all the facts into account, I would guess maybe 10,000

you are a dumb dumb
I didn’t vote for Trump (I voted for Mcmullin) and I see his flaws, but I still prefer him to a Democrat.If Democrats are so wise in their approach to Covid, then why are the states with the highest death rates almost all blue? California is getting hit as hard as anybody right now and they have more lockdown restrictions than all but 2 other states (New Mexico and Vermont are the others, with only Vermont having much success). The reality is when you have densely packed populations and people spend a lot of time indoors, the virus is going to spread. New York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey are having moderate success now, but that is mostly because they had massive spikes initially and are on the downhill side of the curve. Quite honestly in those states, the numbers wouldn’t look much different if they had no restrictions at all. Death rates nationally have plummeted (they are about 25% of what they were at peak) and continue to decline in spite of rising caseloads because most of the people we are identifying are younger, have mild symptoms and the treatments are improving.

And obesity is another huge risk factor, especially with younger patients that need hospitalization:

So if all these extra deaths in the spring were actually just caused by preexisting conditions that would have killed people anyway this year...we should expect the total death rate to be well below average the rest of the year right? I mean all those people who were going to die anyway this year died in April and May already.....so the rates the rest of the year should be well below average because the people that were going to die in the summer and fall and winter already died in the spring. right? ?
Do you have he balls to stand behind that prediction or have you gotten a bit gun shy after your 2,600 debacle?
These 120k, 130k, 140k etc milestones don't really have much ring to them, unlike 100k. People won't really be freaked out again until it passes 1,000,000.

What extra deaths? We have no data on this yet
The hardest hit states are all Blue, because more people live in Blue states. But you wouldn't know that in a country that uses the Electoral College instead of a real voting system, like the rest of the world.
