Absolute horseshit.
We are having approximately DOUBLE the number of deaths due to illness we would normally expect in the 8 month period from start of March until now. Originally Posted by Kinkster90210

My link says otherwise. There's a link to the original article in my link. You should read both. Originally Posted by gnadfly

In fact, now even the Johns Hopkins student newsletter where the article appeared says it's horseshit:

Here's an interesting graph a linked article uses.
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/e...e®ion=WorldI don't know if they used CDC data or not. Notice the graph for sake of drama starts at 50K. The NYC area "Cumocaust" could alone be responsible for that spike in those months. I think he or she has a good point, expecially as it relates to certain percentages in certain age groups.
