That's really the exception. When you look at the age and number of comorbidities for the LTC deaths, the likelihood of those who succumbed still being alive without COVID is less than not. We are counting Covid deaths we wouldn't count as Flu deaths.

So, did you change your assessment from the "overwhelming majority" to some unknown %? If you're staying with the overwhelming majority, how did you arrive at that and can you be more specific in your quantification? I'm trying to parse this CDC table and don't see how to do it.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
