I don’t believe any of these numbers.
Death by illnesses other than CV plummeted. Normal levels of dying are what we have now nothing more than that. Todd Herman talk about this today that we are back to equilibrium there is no epidemic at all
However the maximum new cases is consistently decreasing
Seven day average leveling out
Leading indicators decreasing
Lagging indicators increasing
By definition apex
Well, it IS an Election Year with a ‘Republican’ running for office.
If ‘Deaths By Infected Paper Cut’ was higher than those dying of Wuhan Flu, then the ENEMY Media would be pimping THAT.
For the last year that we have complete, finalized data (2018), there were 2,839,205 deaths in the U.S. according to the CDC ( https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/deaths.htm?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fnchs%2Fdeaths.htm )
We are 205 days (56%) into 2020, and the number of provisional deaths as of today according to the CDC is 1,476,140. ( https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/COVID19/
If we multiply the total number of 2018 deaths by 56% we get 1,594,622, or significantly MORE deaths than over the same percentage recorded in this pandemic year.
Now, I admit that this measure isn’t perfect, as some deaths are not yet reported, and the number of deaths from all causes changes from month to month. On the other hand, the population is somewhat larger than it was in 2018. Whatever objections one might have, there is no evidence that shows that a lot more Americans are dying this year than in other recent years (2015-2017 were similar, I only picked 2018 because it is the most recent.)
Even if you take the given number of deaths attributed to CCP Virus (~145,000), that is still less than 10% of ALL deaths in the U.S. so far this year, with many of the deaths coming from those who were already rather sick, very old, or both (often both). This isn’t the black plague.
My husband just today found something about whoever it is that accounts for deaths, just counting death certificates of the previous several weeks all at once.
IOW, were not necessarily seeing 1000 deaths TODAY, but perhaps from the last several weeks. They’re not always getting them counted until late, or back-recording it by date.
Another thing.
My nephew just had COVID.
He caught it in MD working, and lives in DE.
Guess how he is counted?
Each state counts him as a case.
Imagine if someone like that dies....do each of the states tracking him count him as a death?
The states are pumping the numbers by going back in time and looking at old death certificates and guessing that they ‘probably’ died of COVID for various reasons. Many, many of the deaths in these large numbers aren’t from today or yesterday or this week, or even this month. even if they are in fact COVID, which is dubious.
Funny how no one dies of anything OTHER than COVID these days.
