According to the CDC's latest update on COVID-19 fatalities, 94 percent of people who have died of the infection in the US had at least one pre-existing condition, such as obesity, high blood pressure or heart disease. 

 

Coronavirus was the sole cause of death for just six percent of fatalities as of data published August 26. 

 

In total, 180,221 Americans have been killed by coronavirus as of Monday, August 31. But among death certificates submitted to the CDC, just 9,683 listed COVID-19 alone as the cause of death.

 

EDITOR'S NOTE: Right-wingers are trying to downplay the seriousness of the pandemic with this CDC report,.  But if the victims with underlying health problems had not come down with COVI-19, they would not have died at the time. So, any way you look at it, they died because of COVID-19.

A great number of them...maybe the vast majoriety of them, may very well have died at that time anyway Howie.

But this point is...for THIS we have crippled our economy?
