It really makes you wonder doesn’t it?
Our meticulous RG colleague @AWokeZombie brings this gem of a comoarison to start the weekend. The next time someone tells you that behavior or vaccination rates or masks are what’s going to change the outcome of this pandemic just show them this picture.
November 19, 2020 vs November 19, 2021
The number of U.S. deaths from Covid in 2021 just surpassed all of 2020. Here's why that's not that scary. ...
In case you're still tempted to be worried, also remember that JHU itself reported that death numbers remained relatively the same from 2019 to 2020 – it's just that the elderly and the vulnerable died at a much higher rate from Covid than from other various diseases.
Surprisingly, the deaths of older people stayed the same before and after COVID-19. Since COVID-19 mainly affects the elderly, experts expected an increase in the percentage of deaths in older age groups. However, this increase is not seen from the CDC data. In fact, the percentages of deaths among all age groups remain relatively the same.
Figure out how you want to interpret "COVID-19 deaths" and keep that in mind when reading or hearing data like this.
