The rest due to natural types of deaths from heart attacks,cancer, car accidents,numerous other medical conditions

Most of all, old age. But to find that out some of the excess deaths this year will be offset by fewer deaths next year and maybe the year after. There are certainly a lot of excess deaths this year from a variety of causes, many of them displacement due to COVID. There are many fewer "pneumonia without COVID" deaths. Almost all of those were labeled COVID.

Same thing happened in the 2003 European heat wave. The Parisians left their elderly to die while they went on vacation. Many of the deaths were 90+. In the following months and years there were fewer deaths since the heat wave was a one month event that ended (COVID is not).

Suffice to say the excess deaths this year need an explanation and there are many explanations and many are pandemic-related, including the economy, deferred medical care, etc.

What a pandering dork.

Exactly great post! The human cost of people remaining at home either scared to death or beaten up mentally by unrelenting news stories of how "we are all gonna die" if we don't hunker down. The stories of spousal abuse, child abuse, alcoholism, drug abuse and on and on by those who were staying at home for one reason or another are endless.

Once again its all about power over people and people yielding to the dictates of socialistic rulers who really want about half the population dead.
