is that once the hospitals are at capacity, which is already happening in some areas, not just covid patients will die. People in car accidents or undergoing heart attacks will also die. It could be a snowballing effect like in Italy last spring.

were around 7,700, I read somewhere. So if that's right, then Covid is raising the normal death count by a LOT--about one out of every 5 to 6 deaths is now from Covid, and that number is rising--before too long Covid could be MOST deaths.
