Leading Causes of Death

Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, it is interesting to look at the leading causes of death in the United States, according to the CDC website, as of May 4th, 2020:

  • Suicide:                                            47,173
  • Kidney Disease:                                 50,633
  • Influenza and Pneumonia:                  55,672
  • Covid-19                                           65,735
  • Diabetes:                                          83,564
  • Alzheimer’s:                                     121,404
  • Stroke:                                            146,383
  • Lung Disease:                                  160,201
  • Accidents:                                       169,936
  • Cancer:                                           599,108
  • Heart Disease:                                 647,457
  • Abortion:                                         862,320

So, we willingly kill about the same number of unborn babies as those who die of all other causes combine, excluding cancer and heart disease.
