USA surpasses 1 million Covid-19 deaths in 2 years

Didn't the CDC just recently admit they miscounted (exaggerated) "COVID deaths"?

And there were how many "regular" deaths in that time?

Probably more than 5 million non-Covid-19 in the US. So 1 out of every 6 were from Covid-19.

Thanks for the update. CNN had a running count/total 24/7 on the right of the screen from April 2020 - January 2021 but stopped the count for some reason after January 2021 so I appreciate the update.

The public got tired of the CNN illness and death scoreboard. It was removed to improve ratings. Content revamped to improve the financial return from advertising. Nothing more.

The OP is passing along fake news. The CDC said the algorithm was wrong.

There appears to have been a similar number of "regular" deaths as had been expected, so in the end a million more people have died than normal since COVID started. COVID deaths are very clearly additional deaths that added to the death total of all the deaths from other causes. In other words...COVID deaths didn't appear to be replacing deaths from other causes of people who would have died anyway.

A million extra people have died.

OK. I'm a liberal. I'm vaxxed. I wore a mask without bitching when it was the rule and even when it wasn't when it made sense. But we need to recognize that the million excess deaths includes the well-established increase in suicides, alcohol-related deaths, drug overdoses, car crashes and murders that have occurred over the last two years. Public Health experts needs to look at the total overall effect on society of lockdowns and forced social isolation, not just how it helps reduce the spread of a single, albeit initially serious, disease.

According to this:

Newsflash....Covid19 was the 3rd leading cause of death in America for 2020 and 2021.

What do we win?

You mean "with Covid".

You mean 1 million deaths of very ill old people counted as Covid deaths by any means possible. What is the number of deaths in young and healthy people? Zero? People are tired of this stupidity. Stop it.

Leading cause? Where is the proof that it was the cause in most cases? This statement is a lie.

Please give us your better reasoned cause for the one million excess deaths since COVID started. Use facts and evidence.

Speaking of stupid, you do realize a million more people died right? So it wasn't people who were going to die anyway. One million more people than normal died. Can you acknowledge that you understand this?

Please give us your better reasoned cause for the one million excess deaths since COVID started. Use facts and evidence.

Beat me too it. After the CDC director admitted on national TV that many of the hospitalizations were with Covid it was obvious where this was headed. But yes somehow we had a technical glitch that added around 8% to the death toll and no one at the CDC was on the ball enough to recognize it. SUUURRREEE....

Amazing how these glitches always go in one direction. How long until it is officially admitted that a significant number of Covid deaths still in the count Covid played no or very little role. I'm guessing we get this one sometime in late May.

Thank god Biden has a potential WW3 on his hands he can try not to de-escalate to distract Americans from this Covid debacle.

Start here, Harambe. And then move on to other causes that your lockdowns, etc. exacerbated.
