Do we have numbers for deaths from the common cold, measles, chichen pox, mumps etc
We don't have numbers of deaths from covid.
We have an inflated measure* that contains "with" and "of" and so is pretty much useless unless we know the "of" figure - which we never will.
*The old 'positive test then gets killed by being knocked over by a bus within 28 days' figure.
The 'excess deaths' figures give a pretty good broad picture of 'lethalness' of covid, everything taken into account.
Conveniently ignored by the "of or with?' water-muddiers.
