I was replying to Utopia and his attempted "gotcha" not your post..
Yeah, I know that. It wasn't a gotcha by him because he failed to comprehend the two posts in what they actually said.

quote:If you break it down using CDC statistics, the deaths that occur for those 64 and under are 12.8 per 100,000 population.
From 2017 CDC
Heart disease: 650K
Cancer: 600K
Accidents: 170K
Respiratory: 160K
Stroke: 146K
Alzheimers: 121K
Diabetes: 83K
Influenza & Pneumonia: 55K
In this context, 215K deaths in 8+ months is relatively modest. There is a decent peak in excess mortality from April through July, but we are now dipping below seasonal averages. So it's unclear if there will be excess death due to COVID19 once the books are closed on 2020.
And I don't credit our government at any level. Our healthcare community learned how to care for these patients on the fly and adapted incredibly well. It's really pretty amazing what they have done with case fatality rates since June.
At 65 and above, the rate is 51.2 per 100,000 population.
The CDC estimates that the annual flu (using the 2017 statistic) is overall 17.4 per 100,000 population.
