I don't trust the numbers coming from several states. Numbers are suspect in FL, and any Google search will give pause that Covid deaths are being under-reported far more than over-reported.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">According to the CDC, so far this year, Florida has had 1,762 deaths from <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/COVID?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#COVID</a> and 5,185 from pneumonia.<br><br>Average pneumonia deaths in Florida from 2013-2018 for the same time period are 918.<br><br>Probably just a coincidence, yeah?</p>— Kellen Squire (@SquireForYou) <a href="https://twitter.com/SquireForYou/status/1265553065056362497?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 27, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I wonder if he's been drawing his information from this site at the CDC, and in particular, Table 2. Those are numbers maintained by the CDC through a few days ago.

It's an interesting table. They break it down by Covid, pneumonia, Covid and pneumonia, etc... The numbers they show for Florida are pretty close to what was in the tweet.

The column of "percent of expected death" (the third column of numbers) is fairly interesting. In that column they compare the total deaths in a state compared with what the anticipated death count should be for all causes in that state based upon the last few years, and express it by percentage. If you are above 100, there has been more death in your state. Below 100, less than anticipated.

In Minnesota, we're at 101%, so we've had more deaths than we'd normally expect, although not NYC numbers.

The U.S., as a whole, is at 99%, which is somewhat surprising.

No idea if the numbers are accurate or not, but I stumbled across that table a few days ago and found it interesting.

“ WATCH: Beachgoers in Gulf Shores, Alabama, defended their decision to flock to beaches and not wear protective masks over Memorial Day weekend, despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

“I mean everybody’s got to go somehow, you know what I mean?" one woman reportedly said. “In a way, I don’t want to die, but I mean, if that’s what God has in store for my life, then that’s okay."

Perfect. DNI for her, then.

I suspect there has been a large reduction in: car accident related deaths, on-street murders/manslaughter, worksite accidental deaths, accidental deaths in hospitals during elective procedures that have been put on hold...

Yeah, maybe, although I thought I heard a few weeks ago here in Minnesota that our traffic fatalities were up because people were just driving too fast with no traffic on the road. I just assumed that for places like Minnesota, or the US in general, having a percentage like 101% or 99% would fall into the category of what would be an expected variation. As you go through a year, it's unlikely that you'd always sit at 100% of the average for that point in the year. There has to be some sort of variance. It's just when you look at places like NYC, New York, New Jersey, etc..., that you see some crazy numbers that are clearly outside the norm.

Huh, so only ~6k official deaths from the flu. But I hear this is just like it.

In CO for only March and April there were about 1,400 excess deaths and we're not there yet for the "official" COVID deaths through May. One other point is suicides in CO were down 40% in Mar-Apr, while calls to crisis lines were up 50%.

Is that year over year? I don't know how seasonal suicides are but those numbers are interesting if they are apples to apples.

Also, who kills themselves when they live here?

As long as oil remains cheap, Poots doesn't have the money to keep up with the US in a new arms race. It's the "Bombs or Butter?" dilemma for Russia all over again.
