The truth is that ~80% of people in the entire world have at least 1 existing comorbidity. The data regarding covid has always included comorbidities. This isn't something new or something that's been changed. But they still think it's some kind of "Gotcha."
As I stated in another thread, have you ever once heard anyone complain about comorbidity issues in cancer deaths? Have you heard a single person ever complain about someone with cancer dying of a comorbidity when the death is attributed to cancer? Because that happens all the time. Comorbidity rates have always existed for every medical condition. The comorbidity angle is only being used because this is a highly politicized topic. If you want the real picture, look at excess deaths regardless of cause. Which is over 200,000 for the year. Those are accurate numbers that can't be fudged. Go ahead and try and explain that away. 200,000 more deaths this year than the running average, and counting. Anyone who can simply shrug that number away is a damn fool.

Where are you getting the excess death #'s from? I am not saying you are wrong but the latest list I saw which I admit I am not sure where it came from, showed that most states are on par or even below where they were last year.
