The CDC data states that (emphasis added), “For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death.”
Some people have expressed confusion over this statement following the president’s tweet, believing that only 6% of deaths attributed to COVID-19 were actually caused by the virus. This confusion has led to some reaching the conclusion that COVID-19 is far less dangerous than originally thought. However, the statistics actually show that of those who died due to COVID-19, the virus was the only cause of death 6% of the time. The other 94% of people who died from COVID-19 in the United States had other conditions that contributed to their death in addition to the virus.
另外94%,就用你抄的那段话: For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death. 在所有诊断症状或死亡原因不限于新冠的死亡中,平均有2.6种其他症状或死亡原因。
