I've read the online discussions/"news" regarding death rate in the U.S. in 2020 vs 2019, so I decided to get the numbers myself, here they are:
Year Total Deaths in U.S.
2020 2,913,144
2019 2,854,838
2018 2,831,836
2017 2,813,503
2016 2,744,248
2015 2,712,630
There are slight differences in the totals in a given year, depending on who did the counting; CDC vs census?, but what stands out is the gradual increase in number of deaths each year, which should be expected as the population of the U.S. grows, but most significant is that the increase from 2019 to 2020 is only minimally above the year to year increase prior to covid. I've heard some people try to explain away this minimal increase by saying, "but fewer people were killed in traffic accidents since people weren't driving as much!". I just checked the traffic death numbers and they were higher in 2020 than in 2019! The more I look into the scamdemic, the madder I get! Sometimes I wish I was just an ignorant leftist drone :) (ignorance is bliss, right? :) )
I have been trying to find the CDC numbers from 2020, but only found aggregate data products. Have they finally published 2020 data? do you have the link?
From a Bing search: "Ond 31 December 2020, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported 2,913,144 total deaths in 2020, which was updated on 30 December. Therefore, the figure of 2,835,533 cited in the Facebook posts falls short by more than 77,000 deaths."
I didn't go to the further step of getting a 2020 total that was dated later, so account for some increase that probably happened, but that would seem to be a minimal addition.
Yea, that data is preliminary. It takes about 3 months for CDC mortality data to stabilize.
The CDC has a special challenge this year, as they have conflicting interests. They have a lot of money invested in their annual flu shot scam. The same applies to all their various programs. The manipulated COVID data really screws up the data on their other programs.
It will be interesting how they reconcile their preliminary data with the supposed 500K excess deaths. I'm anxious to see the official data to find out.
Hadn't looked back, but had done a similar exercise around sept. last year when I got into a discussion about how the trend (at the time) was showing a lower death rate overall. Which forced me into digging through the spreadsheets.
First look through and it appeared that the trend was about the same as previous years. It wasn't until are started adding some =sum() fields into the spreadsheet where things really stuck out. The reason (at the time) for the excess deaths was because they were double counting deaths in areas to create an excess death rate. Not sure if the data has been cleaned since.
btw - https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7014e1.htm. They put the count at 3,358,814
I found the 2020 number with "as of December 31 December". It was hard to find; it seems the search engines are trying to suppress the info :) I'll look at my browser history and hopefully can find it and will post it.
Finding any actual meaningful data from the past year has been notoriously difficult. I was trying to find case fatality rates for COVID based on age group, to prove a point to someone, but all the CDC would show me was relative comparisons in fatality between age groups (i.e: 18-30 year olds are 2x more likely to die than 0-17 --made up statistic btw, but that's the format they were presenting it in). Which means the statistics they HAVE in their databases are presented in such a way that it makes it very difficult for the average Joe to draw conclusions.
