Some approx figures from crunching some US numbers from CDC,
Comparing the first 37 weeks of this year to 2018 (a high flu year)
Deaths Attrib to Flu/Pnemonia (Incl Covid-19)
2020 211,597
2018 143,882
'excess' 67,715
Total Deaths
2020 2,202,027
2018 2,021,634
'excess' 180,393
[opinion]
It is harsh, but one could say that about 70% of Covid Deaths would have died anyway.
also that there was an unexplained increase in death in the order of about 5% - could this be the 'lockdown' effect, or an increase in violent crimes due to riots ?
