Well we have fewer deaths per year after Covid?


Feb 13, 2021, 9:10 PM

I haven’t researched this in the last several weeks, but I think the total number of deaths annual increase in the US is roughly equal to the number of Covid deaths.

But it wouldn't surprise me in the coming years assuming we get past Covid if the total number of deaths goes below the number of deaths in 2019 since many elderly people just died a year or two sooner than they would’ve died anyway. Will be interesting to see.

A better metric would be the total number of years lost because of a Covid death. If you die when you’re 20, then you’ve lost 60 years or so of life expectancy. If you die when you’re 80, you maybe lost one year. Not suggesting that Covid isn’t real obviously, but a few years from now we will have a much better understanding of the true impact of Covid.

Next year maybe. All cause mortality is a cyclical thing, if

you look at it over time. I know the branch covidians seem to think death started in 2020, but in reality 2020 was to be expected with the low level of deaths in 2019. Covid-19 has little to nothing to do with it.
