which claims that crematories in New York process about three times the bodies tehy do under normal circumstances.
this is of course only local, but it gives an indication that at least some of the death are additional.

Additional to if we hadn't destroyed society? Really? You can prove that?
@ponderable saidNew York is not the entire nation.

Any actual numbers for the nation?
How many deaths are due to suicide, heart attack and alcohol?

And D has proven to be such a reliable source of truthful data.
Nobody cares about your worthless opinions.

@eladar saidAccording to the Office of National Statistics in the week ending 10th April 33% of all registered deaths in England and Wales were due to covid-19. You seem to think that in the US covid represents 5% of all deaths. Are you including fatalities that occurred before the epidemic started in the US?
US population 328 million
Deaths each day 8000
Total US deaths this year 944000
That means that Coronavirus represents less than 5 percent of all deaths, yet everyone is acting like this is the end of the world.
Reality check, people die. Reality check, this thing is not killing many people when compared to typical death rates.

@ponderable saidThat is a fair way to look at it.

But now, to be fair for all of America, please understand that New York's deaths per million is over 800, versus the rest of America's 64.
Try doing the math to speak of America's other 49

@deepthought saidYes the US is not nearly as urbanized as the UK.

If you take out the worst 5 states, what would be the US deaths per million?

I'll find the link, but in the last month in the US deaths from COVID are at or above the monthly average for deaths from heart disease or cancer in the US. That would make it our #1 killer. And unlike those conditions, it is an infectious disease spread by contact.
