First number is actual deaths. 4th column is expected number of death. So, just the week of April 11th saw nearly 23,000 excess deaths. Second to last column is the percentage of death above normal. So that week, which was the worst one during the pandemic until likely this week, overall US mortality was 41% higher than normal.

Currently excess deaths in the US for 2020 is 266k. Excess deaths are defined as any deaths above approximately 5% over the expected number of deaths for that week. Also the first two months of 2020 actually saw a lower than normal number of deaths. So we have seen ~280k more deaths than average so far this year.

Just an example of how bad uncontrolled spread can get, this is the data for New York City. Overall mortality the week of April 11th was 658% above normal.

Conversely, if you look at the data from July, mortality was not only back to normal, but there were even weeks where mortality was lower than expected. The lockdowns and public health measures worked.

currently the worst state I could find is South Dakota with double the normal level of mortality, but they’ve gotten a lot worse in the past two weeks and this CDC data takes a month or more to be complete.

That’s what I do. I just wear a mask in public, and avoid crowds especially inside. Not that hard.

The number of hospitalizations per active case is starting to drop, indicating that hospitals have started to become more selective in what patients they decide to treat. Capacity is running out

Just wanted to report to everyone anecdotes to show this is real.
I just received about the 10th solicitation in the last 2 weeks asking me to sign up as an ICU RN and travel somewhere. Each of these solicitations are offering $90-100 an hour. (Usual rate is maybe 50ish, give or take 5-10).
Now maybe the illuminati is working through these dozens(most adverts offering more than one place to go) of separate, often for-profit, hospitals to really cover the fakery that is going on with COVID.
Or maybe. Just maybe, this shit is more real than Trump(or insert any other moron) would want you to believe.

I mean, more people should die every year than any year if our demographic/population trends are to come to fruition in any sense.... but yeah I get the point

truth be told, the US population growth rate is only 0.59% this year and falling. at least, it probably is. it...might be lower now. <.<; it was 0.60% last year, 0.64% the year before, and so on. if you look back, this trend is nothing new - it's slowly falling every year, except for a bit of a surge for a few years before 2000, before the stock markets crashed and the economy was booming, i'm assuming. (it's still overall falling quite noticeably though.)
this is a trend of first world countries, one that japan is now having an issue with - eventually the population starts aging as the growth rate starts to fall to negative values, and you wind up with a bunch of old codgers and not enough younger generation to take care of them. (hence japan's interest in robotic nurses, social companions, and the like to help take up the slack.)
it's also one of the reasons why the US's insistence on keeping closed borders with other countries is so bloody ridiculous - at this rate, we're going to run into the same problem as japan unless we receive an infusion of a relatively younger, healthier population from elsewhere. immigration from other countries is a great way to address that issue, as such families tend to be more motivated (they come here for a purpose), and less likely to commit crimes (again, they're coming here for a reason, not to cause trouble - often it's to get away from trouble, such as a country torn by war or struggling with other issues, like climate change).
looks like about 230k cases happened today, and 2,600 deaths. tomorrow we should start seeing the first results of thanksgiving in the case numbers rising even higher, no? then in a couple weeks the death rate spiking even faster? not sure what the typical time is for infection to people getting tested, and from infection to being killed.

What a load of absolute shit:

koods said: Thanks to masks and social distancing the flu will kill almost nobody this year
Since the beginning of flu season (sept 27) 128,000 flu tests have been performed with only 72 positive cases.
Turns out public health measures for covid have vanquished the flu. Almost all respiratory viruses are no longer circulating in the population. If you get sick now it’s almost guaranteed to be covid
