143,000%?
That couldn't be right. We'd all be dropping like flies.
143,000%?I could see a 143.233% increase, which would mean for every 100 cancer deaths before COVID, there are 243 now (partly due, at least, to limited access to diagnostic and oncology services during COVID). a 143000% increase would translate to 1530 deaths after COVID for every 100 pre-COVID deaths.

In 2018 the CDC placed Malignant neoplasms second as cause of death at 599,274 deaths, 21.1% of the total, with a rate of 183.2/100,000. According to the chart, 2,839,205 died in 2018, with 655,381 of heart issues, and 744,312 dying of causes not in the top ten list.
A 143000% increase of that number would yield over 800 million deaths due to cancer, which would only be achievable if the invasion at the southern border is far, far, worse than we have been told. It is possible that the writers got caught by someone using a comma for a decimal point.
A 143.233% increase would mean 1,457,632 people died of cancer instead of the 599274 of 2018. Whatever the cause, that number is possible.
