76,928 TOTAL DEAD
Excess deaths is the total number of dead over a time period minus the normal expected number of dead for that time of year based on historical data. There are some Fearpers who post data showing that there are excess deaths in NYC and in Italy. There have been excess deaths due to CV - but these excess deaths still don’t make it rise beyond a flu season. Note that the CV deaths stats from CDC are not relevant to this - what is relevant is how many people are dying of all causes compared to how many normally die.

The CDC data is on a lag and the disclaimers say it is possible for some deaths to be 8 weeks late to make it to the data. Watching these numbers for almost 8 weeks it seems that changes to the data beyond 3 weeks appear to be immaterial. The normal number of deaths, according to the CDC, is approximately 57k per week in the USA over the time period. The maximum number of USA deaths according to worldometer occurred the week before April 11 (so we are on the downswing) - that week had 13k excess deaths. These are the numbers to watch over the coming weeks but there is still nothing to indicate that the number of excess deaths will go beyond influenza levels.
In other news...why did Governor Abbott feign outrage when a Democrat judge made a ruling that put a hairdresser in jail for refusing to close because she wanted to feed her kids? Democrats will usually rule/judge in a way that we don’t like so why pass the stupid lockdown rule to begin with? The lockdown rule was always going to be interpreted by Dems in a way that is tyrannical. Abbott should be held responsible for his stupid executive order.
Ping. Freepmail Impimp to go on the ping list.
In case impimp didn’t add you to the list yet.
Indeed it is. The Austin mayor is making it more clear by the day that he and his sidekick (Travis County judge) are going to keep up their fun of oppressing their citizens.
For example, the mayor tweeted this last night "Healthy Streets: in the wake of this pandemic, we’ll soon have safe, socially distanced outdoor exercise & alternative transportation methods in neighborhoods to ensure Austinites can enjoy essential outdoor activity "
Get that? We'll soon have safe....so that Austinites can enjoy ESSENTIAL outdoor activity. Who decides what's essential? The mayor incessantly repeats "let's get used to the new normal". This is beyond ridiculous and I expect lawsuits are going to be the remedy to shut their grand plans down, ultimately.
Rona is great at assists. It rarely tags people out on its own.
It’s just the flu is correct but because of the unwarranted lock-down and the enormous impact to the economy the numbers will be fudged to back up the lock-down regardless.
It’ll be years before the truth comes out and by then the sheeple will have complied to their loss of rights.
I could not agree more!
Still averaging 30,000 new cases a day and averaging over 2,000 deaths a day. 76,942 deaths to date.
With the new cases averaging 30,000 a day the 2k+ death rate will continue with no relief.
With social distancing measures being relaxed as they are now in many states the average new case rates will climb, as will the deaths.
The month of April saw over 65k deaths and it’s likely May will see more than that, possibly 50% more and above.
As the daily new cases mount and increase the death rate will also climb although lag a few weeks behind the new case increases.
It is my prediction that the US death rate will increase to near 100k per month until November as winter starts and then all bets are off.
As much as we think we have this under control we do not, it’s only going to get worse before it gets better, it will be years before this over, and that really sux.
I’m looking into “Obamagate”. DC’s war against America which the Wuhan Scam is the latest battle.
