"A National Scandal"

U.S. excess deaths continued to rise, even after pandemic deaths began to decline, far out-pacing peer countries.

1.5 million excess deaths in 2022-2023 could've been avoided had U.S. death rates matched those of peer countries.

Decade's old trend of increasing excess deaths in the U.S., driven by drug overdoses, gun violence, car crashes, and preventable cardiometabolic diseases, primarily among working age adults.

Excess deaths will likely increase in coming years, thanks to policies of Trump and RFK Jr, especially the cuts to public health budgets, declining access to vaccines, declining regulation of food and water safety, cuts to workplace safety regulation and monitoring and the increases in poverty that will likely result from their inflationary policies.

In his first run for office he was on about "…we'll be doing so much winning, you're gonna get sick of winning…" – I posted this in the following election cycle.

No-one's talking about the circa half-a-million voters who won't be voting for Trump, or anyone for that matter, this cycle, or about his role in our nation reaching that shameful number.

And to avoid misunderstandings, here is also the comparison of COVID-19 deaths vs. excess mortality. 2/2

I have thought of a somewhat innovative way to measure civilian deaths in Gaza: a census of Christians. It wouldn't be representative, for numerous reasons, but it's a start.

There were fewer than 1000 Christians, so it is feasible to get a fairly small number of "unaccounted for" within that defined population. They were also better connected to West Bank and diaspora than the average person in Gaza, more of them have extended family outside Gaza.

Ignore the headline. This is a good article about Covid’s ongoing impacts: “The greatest numbers of excess deaths in the acute phase of the pandemic were in older adults. …The pattern now is one of persisting excess deaths, which are most prominent in relative terms in middle-aged and younger adults.” #CovidIsNotOver #maskup #ExcessDeaths #morbidity #mortality #opioids https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-08-19/deaths-are-up-post-covid-and-so-are-funeral-stocks-prognosis

"More than 1.1 million Americans have died from COVID, according to official records. But the actual number is assuredly higher, given the high rates of excess deaths. Demographers wanted to know how many could be attributed to COVID, and they drilled down to data at the county level to discover patterns in geography and time."

All these unattributed #excessdeaths... They might technically not be COVID but my aunt says she just goes from funeral to funeral lately, her friends and colleagues (she is a retired middle school teacher of 35+ years) dropping like flies.

She said that on the phone the other day and it's stuck with me, wish there was something more I could do or say. Wearing a well fitting respirator is probably among the best things I can do, so I'll continue to do that, at least. Sighs. #pandemiclife

Since the beginning of the #Covid19 pandemic - 27th March 2020 - to 29th December 2023, a total of 2,079,687 deaths were registered in #England, among which there were 171,376 #ExcessDeaths, indicating a 9% increase in the number of total excess deaths relative to expected deaths (1,908,311) across this period.

Emphasises need to consider every eventuality when thinking about retirement options!
