There will be many people who die with the Coronavirus not necessarily because of the Coronavirus.

That's the most retarded way to sensationalize deaths ever.

Flu has 23,000 deaths this year. COVID-19 has 4,700.

Talk about skewing numbers to fit your narrative

They are being idiots

If 748 people died per day there would be roughly 67,000 American deaths from covid already this year

Why did you make this thread?

This is the OT so God only knows what dumb shite y'all take as gospel but you didn't honestly believe for one second that the coronavirus is the 3rd leading cause of death in this country, right?

There will be some idiot who will try to compare the current numbers of deaths by coronavirus to last year's flu numbers despite the coronavirus numbers still have a long way to go.

That will be far less idiotic than saying coronavirus is currently the 3rd leading cause of death in the us

Looks like it said, it COULD become the 3rd most if a certain rate is followed, blah, blah, blah

It is not the 3rd highest cause of death.

picking a single day in time, and then stating that rate as a new rolling average is retarded

So, was terrorist attacks the leading cause of death in America per day as well?

Its 100% factual. Coronavirus is killing 52 Americans per day in 2020



That’s how averages work. They continue to roll

You can’t change how numbers and math works. Stop trying

Simply say covid 19 was the 3rd leading cause of deaths today in America (if that is true)

Ashy Larry is addicted to doom porn these last several weeks. He'd have been so happy if everyone has just taken the title of this thread at face value and started freaking out.

It's probably just a phase.
