Why does everyone shit themselves about wuflu when the common cold is a much worse killer?
>every death from any cause within 28 days of a positive Covid test is recorded as a "Covid death"
Adults have on average 2-4 colds per year of duration 7-10 days each. For each cold the window "28 days since a positive test" would be 8.5+28 = 36.5 days long, for an average total of 3x36.5 = 109.5 days per year or 30% of the year.
In 2019 2,850,000 people died in the US, of which approximately 0.3 x 2,850,000 = 855,000 were Cold deaths.
