There've been a few posts recently about how total deaths in the US this year are down compared to previous years. I was curious, so I ran the numbers myself based on the same CDC data that other posters and their sources supposedly used.
I pulled the last 4 years of weekly raw data from the CDC here: https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/mortality.html
Then I tallied and compared the totals for the first 47 weeks of each year (these numbers are TOTAL DEATHS FROM ALL CAUSES in the US):
2017 2515944
2018 2551868
2019 2559485
2020 2886361
Based on this data, total deaths are up by over 300,000 this year vs each of the last 3 years, which were each within 50,000 of one another.
Whenever I mention these stats on conspiracies.win I get downvoted, but nobody ever has a response, so I think I'm on to something!
What do you think could've caused this?
Strange that US deaths are up so much but if you look at a country like Sweden and they have no increase. It’s almost like all the lockdowns were the thing that caused the mass death but they don’t want you to know that
That is interesting https://www.statista.com/statistics/525353/sweden-number-of-deaths/
If you adjust for the missing 20 days in December the yearly projected total for Sweden 2020 is 94678, so 6k more than last year, but only a couple thousand more than 2018.
Exactly, isn’t it weird that a country that did nothing is not seeing any change in death?
