According to CDC at this link https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm total number of deaths in 2018 in the US was 2,839,205 (2019 data is not available yet).
And according to the CDC at this link https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm, the estimated total deaths in the US as of Nov 16 in 2020 so far is 2,487,350. If death continues at the same rate for remainder of the year then 2020 total would end up being 2,842,685, which would be essentially identical to 2019 (difference of 0.1%).
Why don’t you make your links clickable?
The lockdowns have been far more lethal than the virus itself. People have not been able to or have been afraid to get treatment for the real killers. My mom who is in her 80s fell down a few days ago and refuses to go in to find out why she is still in so much pain.
This could be something important. If this illness was as bad as the gov-media-industrial complex says, we should have a large spike in deaths this year. Thank you for posting this.
Instead of complaining why don't you just post the clickable link yourself?
requires html to do it in the op. In replies, they’re automatically converted. A lot of people here don’t know html. It makes them go cross eyed.
Another fun fact is that us life expectancy declined three years in a row —2015, 2016, and 2017. This was the first time for such bad outcomes in 100 years. This means Obamacare hurt US health care. As it unraveled US life expectancy increased in 2018 and 19.
This means at least a 100-200k needless deaths caused by the ACA each year.
thanks for posting....... Watch out for the fires.......
I am retired, but my grandson spent several months fighting wild fires this summer... Sorry to be snarky.

Is that is about the same chance someone has from dying from C19. Or, is the odds even lower?
No problem. We all have our moments, be they good or bad.
Good find but I believe there might be issues with comparing Provisional to the final count.
The 2020 count is a Provisional count the other is not.
I think there is a difference as Provisional data is not yet complete according to the bottom of the CDC page for 2020.
You are correct. There is a LOT of lag in the data.
Yes, but at least what we can see is that there is no surge in death. Even if 2020 ends up being higher, it is not likely to be in the six figures.
A fellow FReeper who lives in Germany brought this to my attention in his blog.
If you look at this link (https://www.destatis.de/EN/Press/2020/11/PE20_452_12621.html) and scroll down just a bit there is a revealing chart of the average numbers of deaths/week averaged for years 2016 to 2019 given in blue. The red line are deaths/week for 2020. If you look all the way at the bottom of the graph you can see that CRAZY-1984 is nothing. I follow the CDC and their charts are telling me the same thing. . . this is the seasonal flu but this year dangerous if you are old and already sick.
Sadly, like in many parts of the US, the folks have quit thinking and parrot the party line that is feed to them relentlessly by the LSM and worthless politicians.
count for the ‘2020’ data started week ending 2/1/2020, thru 11/14/2020. So 10 weeks short of full year. Did your calculation consider the non Jan 1st data start?
This doesn’t surprise me. Deaths from Covid are largely attributable to comorbidities, meaning a lot of these folks would have died anyway. Then factor in the effect of lockdown on traffic accidents, recreational accidents such as drowning and stupidity, stranger danger when one ventures into the wrong place at the wrong time, etc. and it is probably going to pretty well wash out.
The truth is we got out of the pandemic the first week of April when the number of people living past the disease way out-numbered the people who actually died from the disease.
Remember that brief moment when things began to open up?
