This Is Strange: Total US Deaths in March 2020 are Actually Down 15% from Average of Prior Four Years
Gateway Pundit ^

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!

Hopeful thinking, but probably not so. According to Rush’s climate guru, Dr Roy Spencer it is an artifact. It takes quite awhile for all the death data to come in (sometimes even a year!) so the most recent numbers will always appear low. His study of this suggests overall deaths will end up in normal range.

True, but 9 days of of 31 IS 29% of the month..

True

But Ohio was the first state to decree the stay at home, no eat in or drink in order.

Ohio alone is not going to account for 8,700 fewer deaths in just 9 days.

In order to justify the response of shutting down the universe there should have been a difference. Let’s check February and January then also- while the disease was active but no economic suspension was active.

2020 2019 2018 2017
total 53,922 58,034 60,716 58,396
jan 57,990 58,167 65,764 59,521
feb 55,520 58,096 59,914 58,559
mar 48,257 57,840 56,469 57,109

Allstate is giving partial refunds to people carrying car insurance through them. So few accidents they felt guilty keeping the money.

I tried to format it with spaces but failed. There are no excess deaths this year. Nothing to justify economic suicide.

Based on this, we should make government-enforced social-distancing the new normal. If we don’t then we obviously don’t care about human life. /s

In general you guys are pretty good at getting things out there. This is the first time I had anything I thought was sufficiently serious to step out of my lurking and post it. I’ve commented at times but I’m generally a reader not a writer.

“People staying at home?”

Correct answer Sir! People staying at home and thus much less common diseases being transmitted.

Elective surgeries are postponed. So medical misadventures are down.

There is a detailed warning on the CDC site which says in effect that recent information is subject to change. For example week 10 showed about 48,000 deaths nationally when I checked in about 10 days ago. Week 10 now shows 51,978 deaths. It takes a while to collect the information I guess, and the flubros know they have to then manually alter the death certificates with a magic marker to say they are mostly Covid deaths, < kidding.....>
