Omg, this meme is a whole new level of stupid I never could have imagined.
First of all, the CDC didn't "correct" the death toll to 6%. There have been 183,050 deaths as of today in USA, which is about 0.06% of the total USA population. If the death toll was really 6% of USA, that would mean approximately 19.9 million deaths, and I don't think that would be a good look. So, "correcting" the death toll to 6% would hardly be considered a deflation.
The CDC didn't make a "correction". They clarified that, of the 183,050 deaths that have been reported, 6% of those people had no known underlying medical conditions other than COVID-19. That doesn't mean that the other 172k deaths weren't COVID-19 deaths. It means that an underlying medical condition may have been exacerbated by COVID-19, leading to a person's death.
If I apply this meme's ass-backwards logic to another well-known historical disaster, it shows just how fucking stupid it is. There were 1.5k people who died during the wreck of the Titanic. Of those 1.5k people, only 6% actually died from the wreck while the other 94% died from drowning or freezing to death after the wreck. See, that number of 1.5k people sure was inflated hurr der hurr here's a meme with Jim from the Office.
This is what happens when you replace research and critical thinking with memes.

It really says something though, an average of 2.6 other comorbidities is nothing to scoff at. That means there were people with more and less to have an average. Not to mention age and for some, poor settings, ie nursing homes taking in sick.
I would mention influenza. But we all know it's not.

In this age of self diagnosis and zoom doctor appointments, who DOESN'T have at least one secondary condition. Every time you go to the GP, you leave with pills and a diagnosis. If you look, you will find.
There are hypochondriacs and the opposite mentality.
Therefore this 6% number are people who chose not to go and adopt comorbidities. It is an insignificant figure.

That doesn't mean that the other 94% of deaths had nothing to do with COVID-19. It's a significant factor, even if it wasn't the only one. Remember what I said about the Titanic: only a small percentage of the passengers that died were killed from the actual impact. The vast majority died from drowning or freezing to death, which happened as a result of the impact.

Fractions can mean very different things depending on the sample size they ration. 0.06% of USA's population has died as a result of COVID-19. If the USA population was 100 people, that would mean only one person died. However, it's not 100 people. It's over 300 million, which means that over 183k people have died. That's a lot. Each one of those 183,000 people had lives and families and could have lived longer if they hadn't contracted the virus. 183,000 is not a small amount.

Arguments have been made that many of those over 85 were already on their way out.
Even better arguments have been made that common colds and influenza has similar impacts, minus lockdowns and closed businesses, which cannot be argued against deaths of despair.
How many people who took their life this year because of losing their job that wouldn't have otherwise? Drug overdoses?

What ever happened to flattening the curve? To prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed?
