There is so much smoke going around about covid and the deaths, but we do nothing because it's not something we have to face immediately. But, let's look at some facts:
USA population 330 million.
3.3 million die each year.
One out a hundred die each year. 3.3 รท 52 = 63K per week.
Hundreds of thousands dying each week IN the USA would be a depopulation event. This seems to be the trend, and it appears to be a smoke in the cockpit event.
The multiple 100K per week is a worldwide estimate, not a U.S. number. The U.S. is officially #16 in cumulative death rate from the virus.
The worldwide Covid death numbers were converging, but the reported Covid death rates have plummeted, due to the low severity and high contagiousness of the omicron variant. Yet total all-cause death rates are reported significantly higher in all countries with reliable data, that also have significant Covid deaths (so Central Africa is excluded).
Except one: these States, per CDC data, are slightly down for most of 2022, almost every week starting the end of January, 2022.
The birth rates are reported down in every country where I have found reliable data. That number is down by 10% to 23%. Except these States where birth rates are reported slightly higher.
Life insurance companies in the States have reported massive losses. Some of that is due to interest rates rising, some to cancellations. But neither of these should be significant in group life insurance, which 99%+ insures working people with higher incomes. Yet those are reporting actual of expected death claims from 10% higher (as near as I can tell from the data) to 150%-250% higher. IOW 2.5x to 3.5x a normal death rate and payout rate. Yet the official government data says flat to fewer deaths. One of these sets of numbers is terribly wrong.
Lincoln National is paid an extra $2,984,000,000 (a 140.6% increase) in claims, vs. an 11% increase in premiums 3Q 2022 vs. 3Q 2021.
Example: Lincoln National reported a $2.6 billion loss in the third quarter 2022. At most, roughly $200 million could be interest rate rises, $60 million cancellations.
Flipside: Service Corporation International (death care services, aka funeral homes) is not showing revenue gains in 2022. That could be due to flat deaths, along with less money spent per funeral.
I try to triple check numbers to get real results. Net numbers say most of the increase in deaths is from working adults who received the injections, as a big part of the workforce was ordered to get the shots to keep working.
