Title: Total Deaths in 2020
Post by: MarquetteDano on April 22, 2021, 08:32:19 AM
As of the time of this post there have been 3.3 millions deaths in the US in 2020.  I think we are still getting adjustments. 

The Census Bureau expected 2.75 million.  So that is 550,000 more deaths than expected just in 2020.

For those who believe that the deaths number is inflated for COVID I presume we do not trust the Census Bureau number of expected deaths for 2020?  Do we find the Census Bureau often under/over estimates the number of deaths in a given year?

I am pretty sure the 1st answer is - "They are overcounting to promote hysteria"

When confronted with the numbers it shifts to "This is unavoidable why are you making a big deal and causing hysteria"

Did I do that right?

Missed the intermediate argument that they are all suicides due to lockdown.

It is estimated that Covid deaths have been undercounted by as much as 20%.

Good news!!

With this adjustment, only 20,000 people in Massachusetts died from COVID.
Good news? That's GREAT news!
How should we celebrate the deaths of 20,000 people?

Same reaction.  It is news. Why good?  Glad there was correction to inaccuracies maybe but don't sense that was the intent of the post.

Do you know if there is more broken down data for cause of death estimates the CDC had for 2020?  I think the only way to get an answer to your question is to break it down and see what was expected for more specific reasons and what was realized to get a better understanding if Covid deaths were missed or not.

The CDC has excess death calculations, tracked before covid:
