Covid Verses Natural Mortality

    As the world learned more and more about the Coronavirus, it became known that that flu was statistically much more deadly to older individuals than the young.  In America's battle, the government took over and converted most hospitals to be treatment centers that tried to save people.

In following the events that unfolded from the beginning, I became outraged when I learned that many government hospital efforts were tallying Covid mortality as deaths by that virus whether or not the individuals who died had multiple, medical afflictions.  I read that this was being done partly because Government Health Care would get more funding according to the level of need that the elevated Covid mortality numbers demonstrated.

This aggregate number had a secondary effect--in that it wooed Americans into perceiving that many more have died from the pandemic than actually did.

I researched some numbers and found a few relevant statistics:

(1) 328 million is the approximate population of The United States

(2) 78.5 years is the approximate average life expectancy in The United State

(3) 613 thousand deaths have been claimed to have been caused by Covid since the beginning of the pandemic in The United States [in about 1.5 years]

These are common statistical measures that are used; but, I thought I would develop a new one that could be of interest in the investigation of Covid vs. Natural Mortality.

(U.S. population) / (Avg. U.S. life expectancy) = (Avg. U.S. deaths expected per year)

(328 million individuals) / (78.5 years of life) = (4.18 million individual deaths per year)

So, according to the government and public hospital administrators, ((613 thousand Covid deaths) / (1.5 years)) / ((4,180 thousand Normal deaths) / (1 year)) = (about 10% of all deaths in America each year that are caused by Covid).

Is that what the private medical professionals are telling us?  10% of all U.S. deaths in the last year and a half have been caused by Covid?  Common sense says that's a little high and that Government Health Care is lying to us.
