These numbers are what ends the corona virus scam. The reason you're not seeing a large increase at this part of the year, like you might normally, is that the people who would have died from flu/pneumonia this winter already caught it earlier in the year - all that happened this year was the winter seasonal flu and cold death spike was moved to earlier in the year.

Too many people believing in this fallacial argument: "Lots of people died, good thing we locked you down! Few people died, good thing we locked you down!" Either way they claim victory.

I'm pretty sure the fewer deaths are the result of so many people staying home and not doing anything. Automobile deaths alone are a pretty big number, and with people driving less there naturally will be less automobile involved deaths.

If you’re up to it look at those historical numbers and add them to the list. Accidental deaths is comparatively low as far as I know.
I’m surprised to see this data because I know 65-70 year old fairly healthy people get covid and die. Taken 10 years off a life is still terrible.

..how do you know that 65-70 year olds die? What about people older than 70?
