1968 Pandemic – H3N2 virus – Estimated 100,000 deaths in the US and 1 million deaths worldwide

According the cdc.gov website the estimated number of deaths was 1 million worldwide and about 100,000 in the United States. Most excess deaths were in people 65 years and older.

According to the Wall Street Journal (in their April 24, 2020 article in regard the 1968 pandemic), “Yet governments and the media didn’t call for restrictions on public life and economic activity.” (NOTE: the WSJ then goes on to put their own spin on this) in their article: Forgotten Pandemic Offers Contrast to Today’s Coronavirus Lockdowns

Wuhan-COVID-19 deaths in the US are currently estimated by the mainstream media at around 78500. Be that as it may, if you look at the cdc.gov website (Provisional Death Counts for COVID-19) the number of COVID-19 deaths in the US is listed as updated on May 8, 2020 at 47,128 deaths.

According the cdc.gov website (screenshot & link above) the number of deaths from all causes are listed at 787,181 deaths. This number is not covid-19 combined with [something] nor is it [something] counted as covid-19. Numbers for that are already covered in a couple of the other columns.

I think Covid-19 combined with [something] and the other [somethings] counted as Covid-19 amounts to 103,915 deaths (or maybe it’s 124734 (103915 + 20819)).

What are the illnesses which caused the other 683266 (787,181 – 103,915) deaths?

Looks like a lot of people in Alabama are dying too… not from COVID-19 though.
