. That doesn’t really stack up to previous years because we’ve never counted deaths like this ever before.
What we really need is a total deaths in the USA by year as a % of population to see if there is any meaningful statistical correlation between Covid and overall deaths.

Depending on how the numbers come out that won't satisfy the folks that think this is all bogus because in their minds the numbers are being fabricated.

If the numbers are bad now, the numbers later will be as well (in some minds).

ETA: Of course if the total deaths are down from last year the numbers and statisticians that do the math will have sudden credibility again.

There has no doubt been an increase. I don’t buy into covid being a “hoax.” What is apparent is that the reaction to it was overkill from the start with most mitigation efforts being pointless in terms of total loss of life. Basically, the majority if not all of these people would have died of covid eventually. Exposure was and will happen eventually. We should have taken steps to prevent exposure as best as possible for the most vulnerable (elderly) and moved on. Period. There was no reason to shutdown and lockdown. And we knew that in March based on plenty of available data and closed systems like the cruise ships.

That’s been done and all cause deaths are outpacing the average by 250,000 as of the end of July, so by that it seems to show deaths are underestimated.

Cant wait for this hysteria to end where we can get back to sky screaming about climate change or trannies.
