The CDC just answered that question yesterday...
“
For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned.
For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death.”
Based on the CDC's numbers, that would mean 12,000 in the US have died from COVID alone.
You didn't see this on cable news last night...because they're too busy running "US LEADS WORLD IN COVID CASES" headlines.
This latest CDC chart breaks down the COVID-19 survival rate by age groups:
COVID-19 SURVIVAL RATES (per CDC):
Ages 0-19 ...... 99.997%
Ages 20-49 ..... 99.98%
Ages 50-69 ..... 99.5%
Ages 70+ ....... 94.6%
If you're an otherwise healthy person, under 70, not living in a nursing home, it's a pretty safe bet that you aren't going to die from COVID.
