Just prior to the first use of ED, I spelled out Excess Deaths. I guess it is Excess Deaths you don’t know what stands for.
The 4 yrs prior to Covid, adjusted for population gain, a computation is made week by week of normal death total in the US, and state by state. A google of Excess Deaths will lead you to the CDC page that tracks these. Note This is primarily presented as ALL CAUSES. That is the best way to avoid over or under attribution of death to Covid. It is the most pure measure of the impact of the virus.
On the CDC graph is the death count for each year that week (again, with population adjustment). In 2020 there was a huge increase in ALL CAUSES death count that rose and fell across the year, aligned very closely with COVID death tracking.
As for Florida, given that there has been no superb study on the value of masks, not using them should have no impact. Restrictions when you are seeing 4000 dead/day as the country did in January probably aren’t all that required, because rational people will restrict themselves. So one can not really do any sort of regional profile, because people behave differently based on circumstances.
Case in point airlines. At no time did the US govt forbid domestic travel. Passenger traffic still crashed. People restrict themselves.
Feel free to jump and swim in the world of statistics and numbers and calculations and whatever else you want to try and understand the monster that Fauci, et al has created to destroy everything.
There was no mutation until the shots showed up. Doctors and researchers tell that the last thing to do is administer a shot while the virus is making its way around as that will cause the mutation. I won’t go into all the other lies we were told about this virus.
From what I saw and was told by folks in the medical field, here in Georgia, that most of the folks that were dying were OLD and/or had some serious underlying medical conditions.
Also know, as we all do though some still worship at the altar of Pfizer/Moderna/J&J, that many deaths, possibly thousand and thousands, just might have been prevented if the powers that be had taken a moment to speak with and try some of the therapies and treatments used by doctors all over the country, instead of being discredited and in some cases, fired.
So, feel free to dive into the numbers and data, do your statistics and methods, produce your results as you see fit, and....Have a wonderful day.
