But just out of curiosity how many of those COVID deaths were actually misdiagnosed or mislabeled flu deaths. We’ll never know.


We know that there was a massive spike in deaths in 2020. It was real. dpilot83 has a very useful chart in this thread: https://talk.newagtalk.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1011638&posts=...

Those are simply the raw number of deaths in the US each year for the last nine years. It's not filtered or massaged data. Something caused a massive death increase in 2020. The number of excess deaths is actually larger than the number of official COVID deaths.

So, while I'm sure there was some misdiagnosing or misattribution, ie, deaths with covid rather than deaths from covid, the excess deaths were real, and that huge jump can't be explained by flu or anything other than a new disease.

It doesn't mean that all the official COVID deaths were really caused by COVID, I'm sure they weren't. But it does mean that most of them were, and probably there were actual COVID caused deaths that weren't counted as official COVID deaths. So were there exactly 378,000 COVID deaths in 2020? Probably not. But it's really likely that the actual number was somewhere between 350,000 and 400,000. Does it matter exactly where in that range it fell?
It means that the actual death rate from COVID in the USA in 2020 was at least 100 per 100,000. The annual death rate from influenza is somewhere between 1 and 20 per 100,000, depending on the year and whether or not you include pneumonia.
COVID isn't just a severe flu.
