Since the entire chart is “excess deaths” and the US sees appx 3 mil every year, the 400k increase for 2020 is not very substantial.
And we can speculate on how car accidents may have dropped, provided they weren’t also counted as COVID, as pointed out in the list of articles I posted before.
Also, if COVID counts as “excess”, then plenty of other illnesses would also be counted like flu, which was likely way down due to all the isolation.
So again, we’ve just traded flu deaths for COVID deaths with a whole new list of long lasting issues also caused by the isolation and lockdown ideas, likely much, much worse than just forgetting about all the COVID spreading precautions and going about business as normal with another illness out there.
No argument here, COVID killed more people than a normal year. I don’t see 800k more still, more like 400k per the “excess deaths” chart you posted. Aside from all the financial issues directly caused by COVID precautions, there will be way more longer lasting health issues than COVID itself by a long shot.
Should have never left normal, should have at least gone back to normal long ago, certainly shouldn’t be attempting new restrictions anywhere.
