554 Reported COVID deaths in Colorado 1 March - 11 April
905 expected deaths over expected 1 Feb - 11 April
650 expected deaths over expected 1 March - 11 April
That's 255 deaths over expected in February. None of them were COVID because the first recorded death in the US was 2/26/20 in Seattle.
You're a math guy. Their estimates are wrong and the delta's are provably not unreported COVID deaths.

You betcha. She would literally be in more danger staying at home. I would not pitch her more than twice in a week, though.

The response should have been to isolate anyone in a high risk group. Not try and destroy the whole country’s economy and ruin the lives of millions.
