    Fun fact: the CDC readjusted what the ‘normal’ rate of deaths is to include the years of the pandemic so now it’s harder than ever to find hard numbers because “excess deaths” was one of the last ways to get any information at all!

      Plus a world wide fast aging population would increase the death background number even if nothing else happens.

      Anything that doesn’t make an observable, statistically significant difference, has no cause to further impose restriction on how people live their lives

        Sharp edges don’t happen from demographic trends. This is pure rationalization.

        Further than what?? What restrictions??

        And what are you implying? Covid has no observable affect on public health? Tell that to the millions of people still getting disabled every year.
