The UK just put out its week 17 graph.

Don't worry, "it's just the flu."

These are deaths from all causes, comparing 2020 to the past 5 years.

A standardized documentation would sure help more people understand.

Also, interesting the death rate while the country is in “Lock Down”........

Accidental deaths are a huge part of the first world. But those are dramatically reduced in “Lock Down” locations. Yet the death rate keeps going up.

I mean homes do have hazards but awfully high death rate for being home all day everyday.

Same point. Financial times is now plotting weekly deaths as well

NYC - mid-February to mid-April, 15000 more deaths than normal.

4-6 week backlog at crematoriums.

Let me guess - people killing themselves by jumping out of windows due to the stay-at-home rule.
