Excess mortality study 12:20 - Apr 12 with 1157 views | StokieBlue | A number of people have made posts around the true scale of C19 and whether it is really causing excess mortality above the normal baseline rate. I was listening to a podcast earlier and a report came up dealing with this issue. Caveats: - It's NYC only - It's not peered reviewed - The cause of death at home isn't confirmed as C19 as they aren't tested Essentially the daily "at home" mortality rate in NYC in normal times is about 20 people but it's currently running at over 200 people per day. No C19 tests are performed on these deaths so it's unknown if they are direct C19 cases or cases where C19 has been a mitigating factor (being inside, no access to healthcare etc). https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-true-scale-of-excess-mortality-in-nyc Only preliminary findings so one can't draw firm conclusions but it's interesting and would seem to show that it's possible when the data is analysed in the future the deaths could be significantly above the baseline.

Excess mortality study on 19:06 - Apr 12 with 951 views | Basuco | on average, each year around 660,000 pass away, therefore around 1808 people per day would normally be expected to die. So anything above this will be Covid19 related. |  | |  |
