I can't find anything that references anything like this.

[www.cdc.gov] certainly disagrees, saying as at October 15th that death rate is 300k higher than average over the past 5 years for 2020 and only attributed 200k of those to covid.

If that's true, and 2 people per minute dying of covid then look forward to smashing that 3 million.

Even IF the post is true, that number is with lockdowns, so people are not driving as much, not doing as much stupid stuff, not doing as many dangerous jobs, schools and other mass gathering locations are closed more. That means less road deaths, less accidental deaths, less workplace deaths, less mass shooting deaths. Imagine how high the number would be without the lockdowns - more covid deaths than with the lockdowns, and without the reduction in other deaths!

Cool story, that's for 2018. I meant current stats.

So other types of deaths are down (perhaps due to restrictions and precautions made for COVID) while COVID has become the #1 cause of death in the U.S. Not much of a reason to not take precautions against COVID.
