Have 98,000 people had non-COVID related deaths because of hospitals that were closed down for non-essential services? A July report in the Journal of the American Medical Association found 87,000 excess deaths nationwide from March 1 to April 25, with 45 percent of those, or more than 30,000, not attributed to COVID-19. Have the CDC reported on this? A CDC report posted Tuesday said an estimated 299,028 excess deaths (above the expected baseline) occurred from late January through Oct. 3 in the United States.

About 198,000, or two-thirds, were attributed to COVID-19, the CDC said. This leaves about 100,000 excess deaths during that seven-month period that weren't believed to be because of COVID-19. What does the CDC mean by excess deaths? No answer could be found.
