What is the REAL number of corona deaths?

With the CT governor attributing a baby's suffocation death falsely to the muh bad corona, the incredible reduction in flu/pneumonia deaths (with an mirror spike in corona), and others, what's the real number of deaths? And to what purpose, other than political, is the reason for the not-so-realistic (I will avoid using the word fake for those sensitive sheep types) numbers?

Hold on and I'll call a friend who's an expert in these things.

About 35... never mind

Not sure, but I did read a link someone sent that 2/3 of the deaths of folks that were linked to Covid-19 would have died anyway, with or without the virus.

It is interesting that a lot of the time you will hear something like, “they had pneumonia as well as covid” ... but the death I’m sure gets chalked up to covid 100 percent.

Also what is the real number of people who have already had it? I don’t think one of the many nba player who tested positive showed a single symptom, they would have never known they had it.

I understand what you’re implying here. But I’d put it closer to 100%

It's almost like the federal government will provide a state a certain amount of assistance per Covid19 case

Can it also cause you to be 95 years old and near death anyway? Also I don’t believe what you said to be true in a meaningful way and don’t think you know what you are talking about. Also if OP is correct and flu and pneumonia cases have in fact dropped drastically, it makes a good case that we are attributing any death to corona if they had it, even if they had a 1000 other conditions.

Mostly 100% of these patients wouldn’t have pneumonia if they didn’t have covid. The same type of thing happens with the flu

I also noticed this claim in the OP. I just checked the CDC website. Here is what I found.
quote:
Key Updates for Week 13, ending March 28, 2020 Laboratory confirmed flu activity as reported by clinical laboratories continues to decrease sharply and is now low. Influenza-like illness activity, while lower than last week, is still elevated. Influenza severity indicators remain moderate to low overall, but hospitalization rates differ by age group, with high rates among children and young adults.
cdc.gov
Something else I’m curious about is how is it they can update Coronavirus deaths every few hours, considering we didn’t even know it existed a few months ago, but the latest flu update we have is a week old even though we have known about the flu virus for over 100 years.

Bingo, we have a winner.

BS on anywhere close to 100%. It’s going to come out that many of the hospitalizations of ‘healthy’ people had a combination of things such as the flu, cold, or other virus PLUS Covid. The question people are asking on why does it affect some and not others is multi fold but there’s one very easy explaination, the flu didn’t disappear. Some people just had complete shite luck and got the flu and Covid at the same time, boom instant hospitalization.

8 billion but the government wants that to be kept a secret.

You’re asking the wrong question. The question everybody should be asking is “What is the real number of Coronavirus cases?” People keep wondering why Germany’s mortality rate is so low. I actually believe Germany’s mortality rate isn’t out of whack but that they are one of the few countries who have accurately accounted for most of the Coronavirus cases in their country. Same with South Korea. The real number of people with Coronavirus in Italy and Spain and the US are in the millions not in the hundred thousands.
