3,464-3,330= 134

134/3,330= 4.02%

But the 2019 dollar was worth 2% less than the 2018 dollar.

3.94% adjusted for 2% inflation.

Covid now the leading cause of death in the USA as it is surpassing heart disease and cancer


I can buy that:

In 2018 there were
655,381 deaths by heart disease or an average of 1,796 per day
599,274 deaths by cancer or an average of 1,642 per day

Fom Apr 1, 2020 there have been 261 days up to Dec 18, 2020

320,845 by COVID divided by 261 day is an average of 1,229 deaths per day.
But recently there have been more than 3,000 deaths per day from COVID.

Reported deaths. Actual deaths from covie
are a fraction of that. In CO if you stumble
in to the ER with a fatal gunshot wound
they put down covie as the cause of death.

You realize the numbers are hugely
inflated, right? The actual number
of people who bit the dust from
covie alone is a fraction of what's
reported.

The idea that Covid deaths are minimal still requires an explanation why hospitals run out of ICU beds.

Not sure where you get that BS from TP but this is from the CDC site for 2018.

"Number of deaths for leading causes of death:
Heart disease: 655,381
Cancer: 599,274"

He gets it from fake news. 😂😂
