Back in June we reported that according to the latest data,US mortalities in 2020 were not materially different from the previous 5 years.
We posted updated data through week 34 in the 2019-2020 season.
Now there is a new report at PrimaryDoctor.org by Colleen Huber, NMD, that reveals total US deaths this year are actually lower than annual US deaths in 20 of the last 21 years.
According to PrimaryDoctor.org:
As of this writing, 32 weeks have elapsed in 2020. However, for each previous year, 52 weeks have already elapsed. How then can we compare deaths from all causes in 2020 to previous years?
I divided the total number of deaths for each year by the number of weeks. That is 52 weeks for all years, except for 2020, in which 32 weeks have elapsed as of this past Saturday, August 8, 2020, which is the most recently updated week in the CDC data cited. This gives us the average number of deaths per week for each of those years, and allows a meaningful comparison between 2020 and prior years.
CDC data provides deaths from all causes for all previous years in the 21st century. (6) (7) The CDC also provides data for all-cause deaths in 2020. (8)
Column D of Table 1 shows the total deaths divided by the number of weeks in the year to obtain an average number of deaths for each week in that particular year. That is calculated for all 21 years (2000 through 2020). 32 weeks for 2020 is highlighted to draw attention to that difference from the other years.
It is important to factor in the growing US population over the last two decades. The US population for each year is given in Column E.
Column G shows the ratio of total weekly deaths per US population for each of the first 21 years of the 21st century.
A comparison of the percentages in Column G are best seen in Graph 1 below.
It should be noted that the CDC estimates that at least 75% of all deaths have been reported and tallied within eight weeks. Therefore, there is likely little difference from the currently displayed numbers, and the numbers that will ultimately be displayed.
Dr. Huber concludes her report with this analysis:
If COVID-19 is genuinely the deadly pandemic that it is widely thought to be, then total deaths would not only be a little higher than usual, but would be much greater during the period of its peak incidence and closely following weeks. It is not possible to have a deadly pandemic rage through a population without increasing the total number of all-cause deaths during the year of its peak incidence, because there is no reason for alternate causes of death, (heart disease, cancer, etc) to simultaneously decline. Therefore, if deaths are not significantly increased above previous years for a given region, then there has been no pandemic, nor even an epidemic there.
On the contrary, what has been found is that so far there are fewer deaths per week in 2020, than in any other year since 2009. Although some of this lower death rate may be due to reporting lag, that lag is likely too small to explain the considerably lower weekly death rate in 2020 than in previous years.
It seems that there is no pandemic in 2020 of COVID-19 or of anything else, at least not in the United States.
People were so busy not dying of covid they forgot to die from other stuff.

That might be it. Hospitals are full of sick people and people in them are susceptible to infections.
My dad is going in next week for necessary surgery but people are staying away if they have any choice.
Preventable Medical Errors Are Now the Third Leading Cause of Death in the United States.
This reads like a middle school report.
Oh nonsense.
Millions of “non essential” treatments and procedures were postponed or cancelled because of the lockdowns, making illnesses even worse. In New York City EMS personele were instructed not to even bother bringing in those old folks who suffered cardiac arrests and couldn't be treated on the spot by EMS.
Millions of people couldn't get vital treatment that they needed because everything was focused on covid. If anything more people should be dead from other diseases plus covid.
The fact that total deaths are down goes to show what a hoax this is.
And there us going to be more suicides, more deaths from heart disease, diabetes, cancer, domestic assaults etc because of more stress from being cooped up at home all day plus hundreds of hospitals being mothballed during the lockdowns cause crazy Dem governors banned all “non essential procedures”.
And suicides and deaths from domestic abuse up by an equal number.
More likely total deaths are down here just as in Italy, Spain and the rest of Europe.
Just face it.
Colleen Huber has removed her report from the website because someone directed her to a CDC site she had not seen which shows total deaths about 100,000 higher through August 8th.
You are not prepared to face reality are you?
You need to adjust your thinking.
The whole covid 19 hysteria is a manufactured crisis.
Maybe not, this lock down has made most people thinking of suicide realize they didn’t have it so bad before and now is a bit of a wake up call, only took a few months to show them that, plus the full on peer pressure and bullying the young kids used to get at school is gone. Domestic abuse I could see going up, but maybe most are actually getting along better. Junk/fastfood consumption is way down, and since most are eating at home, much more healthy , right? Maybe people are becoming healthier as a side effect of Covid.
God Bless your dad. Prayers for a great successful surgery and quick recovery.
That of course is fantasy land.
Reality:
Lockdown-inspired suicides on course to DWARF coronavirus deaths in Australia & in time, even in US – studies
The global suicide rate is accelerating as coronavirus-triggered lockdowns supercharge depression and mass job losses push people over the edge. Australian and US researchers have highlighted the threat to their countries.
A spike in suicides triggered by Covid-19 lockdowns is expected to exceed deaths from the actual virus by a factor of 10 in Australia, according to researchers from Sydney University’s Brain and Mind Center, who published their findings on Thursday.

The Russian Times? Really? That is your source, sad, so sad.
We are worried because this KungFlu has caused delays. Mom is frantic although trying very hard not to show it.
