There’s a very informative article from The Atlantic about how the pandemic is progressing, and what strategies used by various countries made the most impact:

So nobody dies of anything else anymore just covid. Got it.
CDC website recently reported less than 10,000 deaths were listed solely as “covid” on the death certificate. This puts the other 190,000 alleged covid deaths in question since they were co-morbid covid deaths. Waiting for further data analysis, as well as comparison with annual mortality rates for the more standard causes of death. Did people die at the same rates from heart disease, cancer, pulmonary or the other myriad of causes of death, plus this year had additional covid deaths? Or did they get listed this year as covid deaths and did not show up as the standard averages for heart disease, cancer, etc. deaths. One will only learn the real numbers by looking back. But unfortunately we reacted by looking forward, based upon some highly flawed and now discredited models. The real story with data has yet to be published.
I don’t think you understand the severity of the pandemic.
Do you think over 200,000 deaths in the USA alone are faked?
International death totals are faked?
Other countries are in on the conspiracy?
Too little thinking behind such a comment.
Prove to me that over 200,000 people died of covid and not their underlying condition. Over 70 could mean 99 years old in hospice with cancer and days to live yet they got counted for “covid”. Yes, I believe the numbers have been exaggerated. Many corporations made big money off of this scam err I mean pandemic.
it means that 200,000 people had Covid when they died, doesn’t meant they died from Covid.
We can look back to just the recent months: how many “excess deaths” or how much “excess mortality” have we had so far this year, compared to historical averages? It is clear that significantly more people have died this year than usual. This strongly undermines the idea that all these people with underlying conditions would have died anyway.
That is like asking what underlying health conditions the Jews had during the holocaust. Questions like yours show why nativism/populism don’t work.
I doubt you would accept any facts that don’t fit your worldview. So why waste the effort?
