Guys, I beg you to please understand data before you share it. The “only 6%” narrative being pushed to downplay coronavirus is EXTREMELY misleading. https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/false-claim-shared-by-president-trump-that-only-6-of-cdc-reported-deaths-are-from-covid-19-is-based-on-flawed-reasoning/

Here you can see the severe spike in overall deaths from all causes perfectly align with the spread of COVID-19.

Stop acting like this virus isn’t deadly.

And read the article before you come at me with your hot takes. It perfectly explains how the 6% number is being used to draw an innacurate conclusion by people outside the medical community.

Wrong. It’s not just pre-existing conditions. If I’m on a ventilator and my kidneys fail (extremely common in COVID cases), I would no longer be labeled “SOLELY COVID-19 DEATH” even though I died because of COVID-19. https://twitter.com/realappraisersc/status/1300555735756046336?s=21 https://twitter.com/realappraisersc/status/1300555735756046336

The only reason I’m sharing this is because I’m seeing at risk people on Facebook sharing this 6% number as a way to say they shouldn’t care or be worried about COVID-19. This issue is personal for me because I lost a loved one to the virus and people need to understand the data.

Incredibly frustrating seeing the (expected) replies to this thread. This isn’t a political issue and people are making it one because it’s convenient. This goes back to doctors and how they define cause of death, not with the CDC.
