Looking at the weekly COVID-19 deaths, I don't see any trend since August 1st that would require a second lockdown.
How many athletes and coaches from the NBA, MLB, NFL,and NCAAA have died or been hospitalized from COVID since team sports resumed in August?
But all we hear about is the number of new cases as if that alone were a reason to limit the rights of the people. And only a small percentage of them were from covid alone and not linked to a co-morbidity.
I’ll take my chances, I don’t wear a mask and I have no underlying health issues that would put me at risk.
And..that doesn’t add up to the 200,000+ deaths the press keeps announcing
I noticed the phrasing “All Deaths involving COVID-19“ as the heading. Lol.
You really shouldn’t mess with a whole lot of people holding loaded high powered rifles.
“Data during this period are incomplete because of the lag in time between when the death occurred and when the death certificate is completed, submitted to NCHS and processed for reporting purposes. This delay can range from 1 week to 8 weeks or more, depending on the jurisdiction and cause of death.”
You need to check the notes at the bottom of the chart. The deaths always look low for the first 2-3 weeks. Only about half the jurisdictions report their deaths to the CDC within the first 10 days. Many take 2-3 weeks or longer. The numbers get adjusted as new reporting arrives. This always happens for every cause of death.
Where did I hear that the hospital ‘bed capacity numbers’ are being manipulated ? All this so the MSM makes it ‘look like’ higher hospital percentages ??
sorry
While COVID deaths are on the decrease, what appears to be a sudden drop off is due to the lag in reporting. Note the coincident sudden drop off in deaths due to all causes.
On the other hand, the death rate is now approaching 100 percent of expected. Basically, this means that COVID deaths are basically substituting for flu or pneumonia deaths in pushing people over the edge.
Here is a snapshot of "live data" and it is bad. Worst week since New York was crashing in April. 
Results take time to come in. The latest week’s results are therefore always quite low.
There is in the past few days a cresting of the “third wave” (actually, 2nd), but nothing like you’re seeing, and not in deaths yet.
And those are deaths “with” covid. “From” covid are a lot lower.
Continued lockdowns are about power, nothing else.
