I will let you do your own googling of CDC documents. There have been some studies that estimated that roughly 75% of excess deaths are attributed to the coronavirus. Many deaths can be attributed indirectly to the virus. For example, if you die of a heart attack because you feared seeking medical attention because of the virus. The point is that looking at excess deaths removes questions about how deaths are recorded. Please recall that I did say direct and indirect.

Can you provide a CDC link that explains their evaluation of excess deaths and how it relates to deaths caused by COVID?
