CDC: 6% of coronavirus deaths were solely from COVID-19

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has published a report stating that just 6% of COVID-19 deaths listed the only cause of death as coronavirus and no other comorbidities.

"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," the CDC website reads.

Phil Kerpen, president of American Commitment, noticed the important information on the CDC's website on Aug. 6.

Based on the CDC's data, 94% of people have died with coronavirus along with one or more other underlying health issues. The CDC's Aug. 28 update stated that there were 167,558 COVID-19 total deaths, which means 10,053 died solely of coronavirus alone with no other health conditions.
