The claim
Only 6% of the total number of people with coronavirus on their death certificate in the United States actually died from the virus.
Rating
This is false. Of all the death certificates in the US that mention Covid-19, only 6% mention no other illnesses. However, 92% of the total clearly state Covid-19 as the underlying cause of death. So while a patient may have had lung problems or diabetes referred to on their certificates, coronavirus has been given as the main cause of death.
