Covid is the third leading cause of death in 2022 -- again.

This is an undercount.

Heart disease is the first, but Covid causes heart disease.

Cancer is the second, but Covid causes cancer.

Stroke is the fifth, but Covid causes stroke.

"Chronic Respiratory" is sixth and "Other Respiratory" is ninth, and Covid causes those.

Diabetes is eighth, and Covid causes diabetes.

Renal failure is tenth, and Covid causes that.

Covid may raise risk of Alzheimers too.
