There's a massive lag in death certificate reporting. Average deaths are not down, they are up substantially, by 360,000.
But you can't look at deaths through November, and compare that to years past, because the reporting lag is as much as six months - though most have been reported within 3.
And it's not simply an American phenomenon. It's happening in every state in the country, but also every country in the world. I mean, this is so stupidly obvious, so indisputable, it really is astonishing this is a point of debate.
If 'where are these numbers' is not an answerable question, then perhaps the premise behind believing that the numbers exist is a flawed one. I hate to break it down like that.. but saying scary numbers exist (like in the fake news) but at the same time insisting that numbers are delayed months and arent possible to report on is not a consistent position. We arent playing with schrodingers stats here where the stats both exist and dont exist at the same time depending on how useful they are to any given story.
How many cases of 'horrible overcrowded hospitals due to covid!' have happened only for a leak like dancing nurses on tiktok to happen which makes that entire narrative of overworked staffers a lie? Or the massive overdemand on hospitals in NY that Cuomo / Deblasio were bitching about (who by the way had no qualms about sending infected people into nursing homes to kill the people there).. only for the hospital ships that were sent there to be largely empty.. no excessive demand after all.
If the premise fails under scrutiny and investigation, then its a false one. Just like in the election where we are supposed to believe that somehow nobody can count ballots accurately (some counts going actually going backwoods as the evening progressed) even with computational aids and that massive fraud just isnt a problem worth following up with arrests, I just dont buy it.
