🚨@CDCgov says the #coronavirus pandemic left ~285,000 more people DEAD in 2020 than a typical year.

The excess death toll in 25- to 44-year-olds is up 26.5%, the *largest change for any age group*.😱

Ignore Trump's lies. YOUNG PEOPLE ARE *NOT* IMMUNE.

2 main causes for excess deaths:
▶️Most likely are from #COVID19 but weren't recorded on death certificates (lack of testing)
▶️Others likely are at home/nursing homes from heart attacks, diabetes, strokes and Alzheimer’s disease of people afraid to seek care or unable to get it.

CDC found “that excess deaths have occurred every week since March 2020,” with a peak during the week of April 11 and another around Aug. 8, coinciding with the #coronavirus surge in NY early on and a 2nd peak when many states reopened too soon.🤬

😱The current "excess death" toll covers the period Feb. 1 to Sept. 16 – so excess deaths have already reached 300,000 by now and are **likely to hit 400,000** by the end of the year.

Trump has the blood of these lost Americans on his hands.

Bottom line: MANY more Americans have DIED from the #coronavirus pandemic than reported, as I've warned for months. This disparity often happens in deadly outbreaks due to lack of testing + health systems being overwhelmed.

No matter how much he tries, Trump CAN'T spin DEATH.🤬
