The number we have been needing is one that is not subject to fudging or finagling. During the Spanish Flu in 1918 they used a calculation called excess deaths to determine what number of deaths could be laid directly at the feet of the disease. No assumptions, no hair-splitting, just simple arithmetic. (This is my first post ever. Please be nice. Thanks.)

Thanks for posting March. I think the trend may continue in April. Also numbers from later this year will show a drop due to any premature mortality now.

I was just asking about this very thing. Thanks. Since deaths are down, not up, can we ease up on this madness now?

Less fast food is the long play.

That's likely a big one. Also people who are ill but afraid to go to the hospital and be exposed to coronavirus so they don't get exposed to the 378 other deadly bugs floating around in there. Similar things have happened in Israel during doctors strikes.

Everyone and everything is in a holding pattern right now, including the grim reaper.

Much less driving and the bars are closed.

Isolation means less transmission of all diseases and less driving and other risky behavior. It is a dangerous thing to leave home.

Fewer people on the roads driving is probably the biggest reason. And not many people working, either. Chicago thugs may even have slowed down the number of shootings out of fear they are more susceptible to getting sick. The number of illegals crossing the border has dropped as well. And, to a smaller degree, people not passing around other communicable diseases.

Hmmm.., instead of EXCESS DEATHS it appears were facing a DEATH DEFICIT. Mein Gott, what are we going to do to get our deaths back!
Good first post. ;-).

No one driving. College kids not drinking themselves to death.
I find it interesting that heart related deaths have declined...a lot. I guess not having to sit next to that jerk in the office does have health benefits. Ha ha.

Also, less medical negligence due to postponed elective procedures
