Original Note:
From the article: “In week ending August 19, Covid was primary cause in just 1.7% of virus deaths”. this is just about last weeks deaths. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12453329/99-PERCENT-Covid-deaths-not-caused-virus-official-data.html Given the high level of immunity this value is now lower. However in 2020 over 90% of deaths were primarily caused by the virus. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/data-review/primary-cause.html
