Is it true that 99.9% of people that "die from COVID" really die from UNDERLYING CONDITIONS?

The media has overblown COVID! The death count is nowhere near as high as they say it is!

    The percentage of people who died of Covid AND had an underlying condition is 94%. A local talk show host I listen to got it and he often says they died “with” Covid, not “of” it. Anyone who has the virus in their system and dies of ANY other reason is always counted as a Covid death. If the number of deaths were recounted excluding those who died of car crashes and other unrelated causes, the revised number of deaths would be significantly less.

    The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) details that 99% of COVID-19 USA deaths are in people over 60, and 50% are in people over 78. Over 1/3rd are nursing home deaths, and in the European Union, over 1/2 are in nursing home deaths. 

    Yes, COVID-19 is grossly overblown, in my opinion.

    Wrong. The death count is at least ten times what they say it is.

    If you get stabbed, you die from blood loss.  I guess you died from blood loss but WITH a stab wound.  Your logic sounds like something I'd expect from a toddler.

    No.  It's true that most of those who died have underlying conditions, so do most of those who didn't die.  Nearly everyone alive has an underlying condition, but most of the underlying conditions are things that don't kill a person -- unless they get COVID or HIV or some other disease.

    The actual death count is at least 100,000 more than they say it is, because there were over 100,000 more deaths than what they say it is plus the number that die of other things in a normal year.

    Honey, there are only two things that people die from: 

     

    1) They stop breathing; or, 2) Their heart stops beating.  Think on it, and you'll get it.

    No, that's not remotely true or even sane.

    Many estimate the death count for covid is actually low, more like 750,000.

    If you have a heart condition and contract covid, and having covid exasperates the heart condition and you die, is not the death attributed to contracting covid?

    Absolutely.
