PragerU video contains misleading claims about COVID-19 deaths, falsely claims 94% of COVID-19 deaths had pre-existing conditions
The number of deaths recorded in the U.S. so far has exceeded that of previous years by more than 300,000 (excess death). Many parts of the U.S. are also now seeing a shortage in intensive care unit bed capacity. This is likely to translate to a suboptimal level of healthcare resources, which will adversely affect the quality of care for both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients.
