It’s a serious problem, to be sure.
Important to remember though, that death WITH coronavirus is not the same as death FROM coronavirus. This bug has proven to be the figurative “straw that broke the camel’s back” in many cases, a serious illness that unmasks even more serious chronic health problems, to which the people succumb.
God Bless them and their families, but once again remember that you cannot trust anything the media says. Or in this case, the way in which they twist facts.
Stay healthy, LDotters.

Article says that 46% of Michigan's victims are female and 50% are male. What, pray tell, are the remaining 4%?

Were the causes of death determined by an autopsy?

Maybe their genius governor should have been pushing hydroxy-chloroquine and doing her job rather than pimping for vice president and attacking President Trump?

Headline should read: Majority of deaths in Michigan are in Detroit and Wayne County.

I have certain issues with statistics
Statistics is the shortest distance between an unwarranted assumption and a foregone conclusion.
He ran his motorcycle off the road at 110 MPH but he tested POSITIVE !!!
Additionally we are dealing with a governor who Joe Biden wants to be VP.
Additionally we are dealing with people who haven't elected a real government or, as yet, left the state.
All that said, good luck Michigan. Praying for you if that means anything to you.

June, July, and August were the months with the lowest average daily number of deaths (7,298, 7,157, and 7,158, respectively).

It's a good thing the governor outlawed Hydroxychloroquine and the Z-pak, or the numbers would be a lot higher. She really knows what she's doing!

Actually, very good fact filled, no opinion article. I learned a lot. 90% of victims at least 50 yers old, 80% over 60. Says a lot.

Are those mostly Detroit corona (cough, cough - shootings) deaths?

0.15% of the population diagnosed. 0.006% fatalities. Tamp down the panic, keep some perspective.
