Grassfire reports:
"According to data obtained from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics Mortality Surveillance System website, total U.S. deaths for the first three weeks of March are DOWN 10% from the average of the prior four years for the same three week period.
The average for weeks 9 through 11 for the four prior years was a total of 170,555 deaths. For weeks 9 through 11 this year, the total is 153,015, meaning 17,540 fewer people died in America during the first three weeks of March than could be reasonably expected. And the gap between historic deaths and weekly deaths is widening. For week 11, just 47,655 Americans died, 8,773 and 15% fewer than the average for week 11 in the prior four years. And while data on week 12 is not complete, it is trending similar to week 11 and will likely be down by 15% (around 8,700 deaths less than expected) even though 1,919 COVID-19 deaths were reported (in week beginning 3/22)."
Now after deaths for the entire month of March are reported, the results show that deaths in the US this March are 15% less than the average of the past four years!

LOL.
Less flu. People are taking precautions social distancing, washing their hands
my hands have been the cleanest They’ve ever been
And yes less social Irresponsibility DWI murder etc.
Missed it on Chicago. This year is an average year so far per http://heyjackass.com/
Simple answer, Chinese Virus saves lives.
So let’s get back to work....NOW!!
Is Trump still president? Yes. Then you know the answer to your question.
Less “highway” deaths? And maybe less of other deaths minimized by everyone staying in?
So, maybe the economy should just shut down every year from January 1 to June 1. A half-year economy. Half the size of the economy in December 2019.
LOL
The GR is on R&R?
That’s the average, what is the range?
If Fauci gets his way, we’ll be locked down until after the next election,
And we’ll ALL be vaccinated with Bill Gates Population Reduction vaccine.
THEN he can say his work here is done.
We have a winner. Less doc negligence.
Bingo, no one driving, and I would say murder rate in the majority of places is down as well.
Flu deaths have to be way down plus people are probably looking after themselves better. Plus less driving (traffic fatalities).
When everyone hides under their desk, fewer people die. Go figure.
Watch President Fauci take credit for it, or at least brag about it. You know it’s coming.
fewer barfights and murders?
Yeah if we want to reduce the death rate lets just everyone stay at home. That might work for a while. I suspect domestic abuse would increase though.
Congratulations on an excellent first post, FRiend Aloysius.
I was asking myself the exact same question the other day: “How many have died in excess of what could be considered normal for this time of year?” This won’t tell us everything about the severity of the pandemic, but it’s a bit of data that will add some useful context.
All I can say it’s about darn time that some of our “experts” and newscreatures start asking what really should be an obvious question.
I worked in the newspaper biz for 25 years as reporter and editor, and I can tell you that journalistic standards on the Podunk Gazette were higher than what we see today in the Washington press corps.
There are on average, nearly 40,000 deaths due to traffic accidents a year. Tens of thousands more die of violence in the streets.
Quarantine of course, SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASES the chances that those will occur.
If it were anyone other than him, I would be a lot more concerned. But he is swimming in a sea of sharks.
Have a feeling we’ll NEVER be able to compare COVID deaths with COVID-positive deaths from other causes.
Hmm, was there any reason to inflate 1918 Spanish flu deaths?
I remember GREAT interest in keeping those ebola death numbers low (while still importing cases into the USA) during our 2009-2017 captivity.
BOOM.
Closing all of the bars and restaurants were people drink I am sure had some effect but that didn’t happen (in Ohio which I think was the first state) until March 23. That means only the last week of March were the bars closed.
