Corona Numbers
in The United States, we have had about 329,000 deaths due to the covid virus.
According to the CDC, the top 10 causes of Death in the US (Not including covid) are:
- Heart disease: 655,381
- Cancer: 599,274
- Accidents (unintentional injuries): 167,127
- Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 159,486
- Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 147,810
- Alzheimer’s disease: 122,019
- Diabetes: 84,946
- Influenza and pneumonia: 59,120
- Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 51,386
- Intentional self-harm (suicide): 48,344
While most of those are considerably lower, Cancer and Heart disease are way higher than COVID. 80,000 people died last year from the common Flue. In fact there are many sicknesses that have killed more people and our government has never acted like they are over this COVID.
Now look at these Numbers for past “Pandemics”
HIV/AIDS PANDEMIC (AT ITS PEAK, 2005-2012) – Death Toll: 36 million = over 5,000,000 a year
FLU PANDEMIC (1968) Death Toll: 1 million in 1 year
ASIAN FLU (1956-1958) Death Toll: 2 million in 2 years = 1 million in 1 year
Just in case this is not getting you thinking yet, look at our overall death rate over the years.
As a country, we are doing well. Our death rate percentage is going down, even with the corona virus.
