I will make a post and see how it turns out.
I regularly went to a CDC.gov site that gave statistics on
“excess deaths.” Since Americans are always dying, I thought it interesting to see how many more were dying than usual. It’s been a while since I used that link.
This morning the link does not work. First my updated OS tells me the link is not secure. Then it does not work. I went directly to the CDC website, CDC.gov. I’ve rummaged around and have not yet found anything on excess deaths. Maybe they are conducting routine maintenance. Or maybe they are moving out and pleasing the new administration. Time may tell.
Now that I’m on DuckDuckGo, let me do a trial balloon: Joe Biden sucks and feels up little girls. He takes bribes from China. His son is a crackhead bag man. He hasn’t won and neither will he. Let’s see what happens.
The CDC link now works. I guess they were doing routine maintenance.

There is an interesting result for the last week shown (the week ending October 24th). There were no excess (above average number of) deaths in the United States. I’ve taken excess deaths as an approximate measure of the impact of the WuFlu.
No excess deaths. Sounds like it’s all over doesn’t it? Back to normal? As they say, the devil is in the details. The US has only 1 week of normal deaths since the week ending March 21st. Just as important, some states are still above average.
A few states were hit hardest and first and sent infected people into nursing thereby committing seniorcide. These states have an interesting pattern. MA, NJ, NY show a very large number of excess deaths early, between March 28th and June 6. Since then, there have been no excess deaths. These states seem to demonstrate a full recovery.
Basically, they killed off their old people early. Many were going to die this year anyway. So subsequent months show no excess deaths. (Below average deaths are not shown in CDC data. That is a bit of a skew.).
So no harm done? Seniors were going to die anyway. Not quite. These states have had a higher number of per capita deaths for the year. According to another source, Statista, the probability of dying from the WuFlu in New York and New Jersey is more than twice as high as in Florida! This despite the fact that Florida has an older population and might reasonably be expected to lead the nation in coronavirus deaths.
