Dr. conspiracy theory, stands to reason. S'why you

Thanks for your usual display of flawed reasoning. And hey, not to worry, red state Murica, the engine of U.S. GDP and tax revenue....NOT...... will soon be humming. Or, not.
I wanna see more demonstrations, shoulder to shoulder gentlemen and ladies, haircuts, tattoos, bowling and days at the beach. Nothing like a little organic voter suppression.
Total deaths in seven states that have been hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic are nearly 50 percent higher than normal for the five weeks from March 8 through April 11, according to new death statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
That is 9,000 more deaths than were reported as of April 11 in official counts of deaths from the coronavirus.
Not 11,000 and, as you struggled to read, really just a matter of simple deduction.

It’s difficult to know whether the differences between excess deaths and the official counts of coronavirus deaths reflect an undercounting of coronavirus deaths or a surge in deaths from other causes. It’s likely a mix of both.
There is evidence, in New York and other places, that the official coronavirus counts are probably too low. Tests for the illness can be hard to get, and not all who die now are being tested, particularly if they die outside a hospital.
New York City recently revised its own statistics for the number of coronavirus-related fatalities, saying thousands of additional deaths were probably because of Covid-19, even though no tests had been conducted.
There is also increasing evidence that stresses on the health care system and fears about catching the disease have caused some Americans to die from ailments that are typically treatable.
A recent draft paper found that hospital admissions for a major type of heart attack fell by 38 percent in nine major U.S. hospitals in March. In a normal year, cardiovascular disease is the country’s leading cause of death.
Some causes of death may actually be going down. There appear to be fewer road fatalities in California, as more U.S. residents stay at home, for example.
It is possible that those reductions could cancel out coronavirus deaths in places where the virus is not yet widespread. But, in many states, any such reductions have been clearly outweighed by increases in deaths directly and indirectly related to the virus.
Demographers often use measures of total deaths, sometimes called all-cause mortality, to evaluate the effects of natural disasters, where it can be difficult to trace particular causes.
