According to CDC: 0.2% to 1.8% of All US Deaths Since February are Confirmed or Presumed to be Due to COVID-19 -- And They Want to Destroy Economy Over This?
Their objective is to destroy President Trump not report the facts.
They even downplayed hydroxychloroquine, the “most effective therapy” recommended by a global survey of doctors, in order to slam President Trump.
Getting reliable information is difficult.
The CDC website is even confusing.
The Worldometer coronavirus website says there have been 7,896 coronavirus deaths in the US as of noon on Saturday April 4, 2020.
The CDC website has only 1,150 US deaths listed as confirmed or presumed to be linked to the coronavirus.

The total number of coronavirus deaths appears to be lagging but despite that we are starting to get a glimpse of the character of this deases.
According to the collected data:
** 79% (910/150) are over the age of 65
** 90% (1033/1150) are over the age of 55
** 3.5% are under 45
** 0.7 (9/1150) are under 35
Like other reports the VAST MAJORITY of the coronavirus deaths are people over age 65 — nearly 80%.
What is most shocking is the number of coronvirus deaths versus all deaths in the United States.
According to the CDC there are an average 7,838 deaths in the US every day. (446,778/57 days)
Using the CDC numbers only 0.2% of all deaths in US are due to coronavirus. (1150/446,778)
Using the Worldometer numbers 1.8% of all deaths in US are due to coronavirus (7896/446,778)
What is also interesting is the number of total deaths this year is lower than the same time period in previous years! (percent of expected deaths column in chart)
And they are willing to destroy the US economy over this?
You had better believe they are up to no good.
Found this on the CDC website that explains the diff between CDC and Worldometer
The breakdown per the table though gives accurate analysis but lags by a week or two.
The provisional counts for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) deaths are based on a current flow of mortality data in the National Vital Statistics System. National provisional counts include deaths occurring within the 50 states and the District of Columbia that have been received and coded as of the date specified. It is important to note that it can take several weeks for death records to be submitted to National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), processed, coded, and tabulated. Therefore, the data shown on this page may be incomplete, and will likely not include all deaths that occurred during a given time period, especially for the more recent time periods. Death counts for earlier weeks are continually revised and may increase or decrease as new and updated death certificate data are received from the states by NCHS. COVID-19 death counts shown here may differ from other published sources, as data currently are lagged by an average of 1–2 weeks.
