Meanwhile from the discussion on a recent Karl Denninger’s Market Ticker.

Yes, it is not just cardiac. IM Doctor on Naked Capitalism posted this on Jan. 19th (or rather, he wrote it and it was posted for him, in the preface to a piece about population issues in China):
“In fact, thanks to Covid, the US may be closer to Chinas fate than we think. IM Doc quoted a story that reported that in his state had more deaths than births from July 2021 to July 2022 per US Census data. This is the first time that has ever occurred since his state started keeping that information. 23 other states reported more deaths than births over that period, and the US as a whole showed only a 0.4% increase, including 1 million immigrants. My trusty calculator says o.4% of a 331.9 million population is 1.33 million. So US population growth overall is at stall speed.”
As IM Doc remarked:
“In the article it states that 23 states are having similar numbers for deaths and births. Not exactly how it was presented yesterday [in an online Grand Rounds discussion] so far 24 states have reported their numbers and EVERY SINGLE REPORTED STATE so far is having the same thing the birth rate is down and the all cause mortality is very much up.
What is concerning to the epidemiologist that was talking to us yesterday is that the actual relative rate in each state of both deaths and births is right about the same number in all reporting states. This would not be expected in any kind of infectious disease problem or at least it has never happened in history they tend to have a lot more scatter. No this is something else something exogenous.
As I have been telling you all for months there are significant issues with young women and with miscarriages finally, the numbers are coming in to make me realize that I am not losing my marbles. The ICD 10 codes for primary amenorrhea and for mid-trimester abortions are through the roof from historical patterns. Also mentioned was the fact that there is a sudden drop off being noticed by fertility clinics in number and motility of sperm. NONE OF THESE THINGS ARE BEING STEADFASTLY COMPILED ON A FEDERAL LEVEL so this is at times like the blind leading the blind.
The all cause mortality estimated about 5-10% have to do with COVID and that is a stretch mostly COVID deaths for 2021 an 2022 have been older patients near terminus anyway. No the ICD codes for pulmonary embolus, acute coronary syndromes, sudden cardiac death, strokes, suicide, drug OD, and various cancers seem to be the cause and the cancers that are skyrocketing are leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and solid endocrine and neuroendocrine tumors
It is going to be very interesting to see the numbers from all the other states that have yet to come in.
We were repeatedly assured this was completely unprecedented and was very concerning. The fact this is happening in multiple other states is also deeply concerning.
Guys, I am getting deeply worried about what I am seeing and hearing. We are beginning to have severe manpower shortage issues in almost every industry. Just getting a plumber is a weeks-long ordeal. And just from my observation, we do not seem to have a lot of people sitting around living on govt handouts as presented in the media.”
