  1. Factor in the ever-increasing omni-present gross obesity around us and it’s friggin’ miraculous that the mortality rate isn’t going up.

    Personally, I don’t consider what they do living, but maybe I’m jealous that I can’t annoy people riding round WalleeMart making people reach things for me. Things like 36 packs of ice cream cones.

  2. Covid19 — the only “disease” in the history of the world that has its own publicists. 24/7/365 (and counting): omnipresence on ALL social media, cable and national news, organized and vetted talking points across all platforms. I can’t even open a new browser tab without a second one popping up to remind me about Covid19 or to get “the jab”.

    A real epidemic doesn’t need marketing and advertising.

    When does it go on sale?!

  3. CDC has so much information available, but a lot of the time they make it very difficult to analyze. I can’t find the data for this.
    Politi-‘Fact’ claims the numbers are false. Since I can’t find the numbers on CDC I can’t say – although this chart suggests that numbers were in fact higher this year. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm
    Spoiler alert re that chart – even per CDC we haven’t had excess deaths since March of this year.

    One thing I can’t sort out is that if life expectancy is around 80, why aren’t there around 1250 annual deaths per million? At least their numbers appear consistent, but they seem consistently low.

  4. I recall a John Hopkins study that showed no increase in mortality rates (for any age group), and no increase for the total number of mortalities for 2020. The study was pulled in case “people got the wrong idea”.
