For the record, OP didn't provide a citation. Who knows where their numbers came from.
At least for the US, there are official numbers. Here's an example (from less than a month ago) of someone else claiming less deaths:
https://searchvoat.co/v/whatever/4151484/26724412/10#26724412
Basically these claims are based on comparing a partial year (2020) against full years, without adjusting for the fewer days of data. Here's an example where someone provided numbers from CDC trying to make the bunk claim, and they were picked apart. In summary, based on the numbers pushed in that thread:
2017 to 2018, deaths increased 2,142 per month
2018 to 2019, deaths increased 1,317 per month
2019 to 2020, deaths increased 27,566 per month
I can understand people doubting the official statistics. But some people for one reason or another are spreading lies about what the official mortality numbers are, and refuse to listen to reason.
The < numbers I've seen DID NOT fail to make the adjustment for a partial year.
That said, I will definitely dig into what you have here. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing.
Sure.
The < numbers I've seen DID NOT fail to make the adjustment for a partial year.
Are you able to provide a source for what you'd seen?
I've also seen a tweet with a meme image kind of like this one but less detailed. It did explicitly include an adjustment for number of days but a couple of errors made its number of days wrong for 2020 (and its calculations and conclusion invalid). Unfortunately, Searchvoat didn't seem pick it up so it's dead with Voat.
AFAIK, the CDC mortality numbers are authoritative for the USA. I'm not aware of any other agency that originates those statistics (all-cause mortality).
Regardless of what my detractors say, I'm not paid for any of this. I point this out because I think it only helps America's enemies when we are barking up the wrong tree.
I don't recall the source of the numbers I had seen previously but I do recall it had 3-4 citations. It likely came from Voat. I'll see if I can find a copy and backtrace it.
