If there are hundreds of thousands of "excess deaths" due to Covid-19, they are barely noticeable in the big picture.
The damage exacted by politicians and "experts" in the name of Covid-19 however, has been far more devastating than the disease itself.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but our leaders are treating the U.S. population like our IQ's are at the MORON level.
U.S. Deaths from Covid-19 are minor, which is why 2020 will finish with approximately the same overall deaths in the USA, as 2019, 2018, etc..
From Congressman Mark Gonsalves: twitter.com...
Only has been pointed repeatedly the us won't finish with approximately the same overall death count.
1.1.2021
From the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Through 12/31/2020: 2,913,144 Total USA Deaths.
Source: www.cdc.gov...
For 2019: 2,854,838 Total USA Deaths.
Source: www.cdc.gov...
USA Deaths per day in 2020: 7,981
USA Deaths per day in 2019: 7,821
BIG Picture = Not much difference.
Its always a good idea to read your own sources properly
The numbers you are using for 2020 excludes the entire month of January and has incomplete numbers for November and December.
This has already been explained in this thread repeatedly .
Re: www.cdc.gov...
The 58,796 for 2/1/2020, are the number of deaths that occurred in the final week of January 2020.
And, keep in mind that only 6% of all Covid-19 deaths are 100% caused by Covid-19. 94% of them are people who had 2 or more pre-existing medical conditions before contracting Covid-19.
I don't think anyone is arguing that people with pre existing conditions are more vulnerable, doesn't make them any less dead.
That is one of the reasons the excess deaths figure is an important indicator of if Covid really is killing more people .
The figures you linked show excess deaths per week, did you look at that? There is categorically no doubt that more people are dying in 2020. You either haven't read your own link or are lying, which is it?

The point is:
1) Death counts are not linear. They will vary from year to year and you cant simply say that more deaths is caused specifically by Covid. It is like how a city may have 600 murders in one year and 700 murders the next. The reasons for the increases can be quite complicated and can't be put on any one factor necessarily ( maybe gang members had more head shots vs winging people in a prior year).
2) The deaths may be more a function of the lockdown than covid itself. The focus on Covid means people aren't getting cancer, stroke, heart attack, and other treatments.
The damage exacted by politicians and "experts" in the name of Covid-19 however, has been far more devastating than the disease itself.

One piece of SCUM who the media needs to start ignoring is Dr. Anthony Fauci.
He's now saying the VACCINES WILL NOT WORK against the Covid-19 virus.
They will only lessen the symptoms of the disease.
Ignorant and Egotistical and Influential = A BAD COMBINATION!: finance.yahoo.com...
Fauci is making medical doctors look like incompetent fools, according to a nurse I spoke with 3 weeks ago. They're trying to distance themselves from his blabbering that shifts with the wind.
