This post is neither old nor inaccurate. The only thing misleading is the coding of 280,000 Covid deaths. If 280,000 people died from the Coronavirus in the US in 2020, then why wasn’t there a spike in the actual death rate? The majority of those deaths were most likely from other preexisting conditions. Most would have died anyway, even without Covid. That’s why the death rate in 2020 increased at a lower rate than any of the previous 5 years. Simple facts. Look at the death rates in the US for the last 5 years and see for yourself.
