Look, I'm all for re-opening, but there are a billion factors other than Covid in total deaths.

Less car accidents from people staying home, fewer DWI’s from the bars being closed. If we all stay prisoners in our homes, we live longer. Yay!

CDC Tables for Deaths by Month in 2019

The CDC claims this table is accurate to within 2%. Summing up total deaths across each month for 2019 gives 2,654,000.

Applying a 2% increase would yield 2,707,080. So, I'm not sure where the 2019 figure he is citing is coming from.

Roaad has no idea. Roaad is pretty sure Maj didn't fabricate those numbers, though

Probably not. It’s unlikely and unsourced. In previous threads like this, it was revealed the numbers compared weren’t apples to apples due to data lag, etc.

Another place that has been linked says deaths are only up 4% when taking into account population growth and a normal year

Previous tweet

21% of CV19 vaxx test subjects have had severe adverse reactions. It’s ON THE CDC’s website. They’re LITERALLY telling you it’s trash, but entertainers still telling you it’s “safe.”

I was calculating 10% total so this sounds right. What will be amazing is the variation in cancer, heart disease and deaths of despair over the next few years. Economic fallout had been stop gapped by relief and rent moratoriums.

So you're saying the lockdowns save lives?

This may backfire.
