Covid-19 replaces medical errors as the third leading cause of death in the US.
Previously, #3 was "accidents". That's being REALLY polite.
The medical system is the third-leading cause of death in the United States (Ref: Starfield B (July 2000): "Is US health really the best in the world?" - JAMA 284 (4): 483–5. doi:10.1001/jama.284.4.483. PMID 10904513) and was named in 2018 by Time Magazine as the worst in the developed world. (Ref: http://time.com/.../u-s-health-care-ranked-worst-in-the.../.
Medical errors are the third-leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer.

Now, when we say "medical errors" we don't mean leaving a sponge in somebody. Less than 2% of this figure is for surgical errors, and our surgical prowess increases yearly. 40 years ago if you need a new heart you had about 35 days to live with one. Now, we can replace a heart, two lies and a liver all in one day and the patients can live a normal and long life.
But pharmaceuticals? 1) They've made no progress in 80 years. 2) The last progress they did made was antibiotics and that's "an issue" now. 3) synthetic digs account of 98% of the deaths in this figure. 4) Half of those are overdoses, intentional or otherwise 5) The other half are side effects.
So no, "accidents" isn't elly right. It's "medical incompetence" which of course is why the rate of death from a noting virus is so damn high.
There are people who live in the coastal forests of Gabon that many Americans might call savages. They're immune to SARS2 and all viral disease and we now why as of 2015. Because the reason is not patentable industry and therefore media, ignores it.
The covid-19 pandemic is the most pointless loss of life in the 21st century.
2014 NYTimes: "Many in West Africa May Be Immune to Ebola Virus"

What prevents some people from getting Ebola is Selenium, a simple and cheap dietary addition of this essential trace element can chemically inhibit any enveloped virus and prevent you from getting covid-19, flu measles or any other viral disease.
Here's why and how, from the Harvard researcher that figured this out in 2015 at the end of rhe Ebola breakout - when the virus went away all of a sudden. That was no coincidence.
