The worst thing about the new #heatwaves is that it becomes harder to tell the #excessDeath from the heat apart from the COVID consequences.

"We estimate that the average [hurricane] generates 7,000–11,000 excess deaths, exceeding the average of 24 immediate deaths reported in government statistics. Tracking the effects of 501 historical storms, we compute that the.. mortality burden ...is equal to roughly 3.2–5.1% of all deaths"

#COVID #Pandemic deaths in #Ohio and #Florida show partisan divide after #vaccine rollout
After April 1, when all adults in both states were eligible for #vaccination, a gap emerged in the rate of #excessdeaths between #Republican and #Democratic voters. Republicans had an excess death rate 7.7 percentage points higher than their blue counterparts, amounting to a 43 percent difference in the #excessdeath rates.

The pandemic’s true death toll:
"Although the official number of deaths caused by covid-19 is now 6.9m, our single best estimate is that the actual toll is 22m people. We find that there is a 95% chance that the true value lies between 17.7m and 30.6m additional deaths."

RT Gregory Travis
The most amazing thing about this is not the fact that the largest percentage of excess pandemic deaths is in the 35-44 and 25-34 year age groups
But how much the wrong "COVID is mild in children" narrative was driven by successes in mitigating COVID in the first year

@ASlavitt Any idea why no major outlet has reported on US #ExcessDeath in almost a year? Are they afraid of having to parse the anti-vax nonsense?
According to Our World in Data, the US is at 3500 deaths per million, it's never been higher, and ours is one of the highest in countries w/ the capacity to count.
My anecdotal evidence stems from a mortician friend. Her industry has been slammed in a way outside of anyone's memory.

Neither the #WashingtonPost nor the #NYT has run a story on #ExcessDeath in nearly a year. Recent estimates put the US at 3500 excess deaths per million.
Thinking lately that upward wage pressure comes more from too many dead workers, especially those not likely to test for #SARSCoV2 or have an autopsy.
Employers and the #ChamberOfCommerce prefer to blame the lazy & greedy. https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid
