This year is on track to be the deadliest in U.S. history with a total of more than 3 million deaths expected by the end of December, due in large part to the coronavirus pandemic, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

The Associated Press reported Tuesday that preliminary numbers suggest the U.S. will have at least 3.2 million deaths by the end of 2020, about 400,000 more than in 2019...

And miraculously, no influenza and no pneumonia deaths in 2020!

Also no mention of the fact that the Boomers are naturally starting to experience a boom in deaths, just as they experienced a boom in births after WWII. And all because of, well, old age.

Like a big meal, people shouldn't be surprised by a similarly big dump at the other end.

Only if you think fiction is fact.
In real life, there have been more deaths from the effects of the lockdowns than any real deaths from coronavirus. Only 5% of supposed deaths from coronavirus were actually from coronavirus. The rest were from old age, heart disease, diabetes etc, and other comorbidities. Even car accidents and gunshot deaths were classified as coronavirus deaths. A gargantuan hoax has been perpetuated on the American people.

A couple months ago, they were claiming 200,000 reported Covid deaths and 300,000 total excess deaths compared to last year. The reported Covid deaths skew very old, obviously. But remember the Johns Hopkins student newsletter article which pointed out that the age distribution of the excess deaths is even, the same as past years, and does not match up with the age distribution of the reported Covid deaths? This suggests that most people dying of Covid were going to die in 2020 anyway and that the excess deaths were caused by our reaction to Covid (deferred diagnosis and treatment, for one) rather than by Covid itself.

Yeah, I appreciate that, bud. You’re a real friend. Instead of being constructive, let’s just resort to namecalling. That seems like the appropriate response. GG.

They would also let people know the start of the baby boomer die off is happening. The first boomers are turning 74 and the youngest 56. The peek years have not even started. As this group ages the rate will climb.

Medical mishap is normally one of the top 5 causes of death in America.

So many lives have been saved by taking the pill and skipping the surgery. < /sarc >

Team Biden has already gone on record saying that after you hit 75 life is over, you ran a long race. Step aside, retire, and don’t hog medical resources.

Do you mean elective surgeries?

I was actually stunned when I saw the list of things that these people think are "non"-essential. They included heart surgery, treatment for cancer, ya know, such nonessential things like that. It was nuts.

You can click through to it from the editors’ retraction. https://www.jhunewsletter.com/article/2020/11/a-closer-look-at-u-s-deaths-due-to-covid-19

It is not particularly well writen in terms of English, but I think I have described fairly what the author’s point is.
