The reason the above deaths did not get the mass hysteria is because the deaths were spread out over an entire year (2017). I speculate that Covid-19 deaths will be less than from influenza and pneumonia, but because of the condensed time frame of the virus outbreak, there’s a need to spread out the cases. |
That's 2 Million deaths per year just in the categories you listed. And the majority of those deaths listed would be considered as "immune compromised" categories which is precisely the ones that are most susceptible to dying from coronavirus.
So, I think it is reasonable to conclude that the TOTAL number of deaths in the US this year may not be much more than an ordinary year. It's just that the cause of death on the death certificate will say "Coronavirus" instead of "Heart Disease", "Cancer", "Diabetes", etc.
