How many of those come from people with pre-existing conditions as well as nursing homes? How many of those were marked down as CCP-Virus deaths where traditionally people who are sick from other diseases and die after getting the flu are marked for their original disease? What financial incentives did hospitals get to mark patients down as CCP-Virus cases?
I think we have something here with CCP-Virus, it appears to be far more contagious but the solutions are going to cause far more deaths than the sickness. We could have sealed off nursing homes (they did throw in sick elderly in nursing homes causing government error outbreaks here in NY) and informed people as much as possible that if they are risk to stay home and implemented plans to help get these people needs, but the shutdown has been absolutely abusive of power.
Does it friggin matter? 130,000 people is still 130,000 individual lives. 130,000 mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, cousins, friends, work colleagues and acquaintances.
40%+ of the US population is considered obese. That is an underlying health condition. Hypothetically, if the entire US population contracted Covid and 40% died, would you just shrug it off and say, "well they had underlying conditions anway"?
That mindset is shocking. Incredibly selfish. It just sounds like you're OK with 130,000 people dying just so that you can go about your day to day.
What you're also neglecting is that the virus itself doesnt kill people. Have a read here:

In essence, a patient may die from a heart attack, or pneumonia, or whatever else but that is triggered by Covid-19. If you shot someone in the femoral artery and they bled to death, you could put down cause of death as substantial loss of blood, but ultimately it was the bullet that caused the cascade of events that led to that person bleeding out. What you're essentially refuting is that it wasn't the bullet (covid) but the loss of blood (pneumonia, heart attack, etc..) that killed the person. You need to understand the bigger picture.
It also blows my mind that you think it's some conspiracy to make money off covid, yet it is crippling your economy. Dont you think state and govt bodies would rather hide how many people were actually dying from covid to better help the economy?
