I got out my calculator and looked up Mortality statistics. I wanted to get a "feel" for what is NORMAL in
a non-pandemic world in order to compare with how things are now.
Once had had a "feeling" for it I began to notice that MEDIA has a dramatic (perhaps overblown) tendency to
terrify the public by framing death rates, predictions, and political discord HYSTERICALLY. (And I don't mean funny.)
MORTALITY in a NORMAL WORLD
(meets deliberately scary reporting)
The mortality rate from ALL causes of death for the U.S. population is calculated per 100,000 individuals per year based on population size.
Example:
In 2003, the U.S. population was 290,810,000.
Total number of deaths for all reasons was 2,419,900
___________TOTAL: 832 deaths per 100,000 (0.00832)
SO?
Each year these statistics are reckoned anew and the forecast
(pre-Covid) was on track for 2020.
What was the pre-covid prediction for "normal" mortality?
As 8.3 per 1000 in the U.S. as compared
and 7.7 per 1000 worldwide.
(Crude figures for estimate are referred to as “crude death” figures.)
CAUSES of DEATH are calculated as 10 categories per 1,000 persons:
1. Heart disease 126
2. Stroke 77
3. Pulmonary disease 41
4. Lower respiratory infection 40
5. Alzheimer’s / dementia 27
6. Lung cancers 23
7. Diabete mellitus 21
8. Road injuries 19
9. Diarrhea diseases 19
10. Tuberculosis 17
__________________
ALL THE ABOVE are considered STANDARD MORTALITY occurrences.
NOTE: Covid -19 deaths are counted as the “cause” of death automatically even when any of pre-existing conditions
would likely have resulted in death anyway.
(The reporting by the hospital as a covid-19 death results in more funding, FYI.)
There is no way to separate out one “cause” from another “cause”.
The Hospital decides (in its own interests perhaps?)
Question:
STANDARD NUMBER of DEATHS PER DAY pre Covid-19?
153,424.70 deaths per day is considered Standard WORLDWIDE.
That's 106.5 deaths per minute. Pre_covid.
In the U.S. Mortality rate is : 2,813,503
Death rate: 863.8 deaths per 100,000 population
Covid has now been conjoined into that mortality figure in the U.S. .
Scare headlines are framing Covid figures by using terrifying
language designed to create panic because we are not AWARE of what a NORMAL death toll is supposed to look like.
Is this kind of reporting Helping anybody at all? Or is it designed to addict us to doom surfing for more and more
"information" and clicking on ADS and racking up revenue for Media??
A documentary on NETFLIX explores how Artificial Intelligence has turned Media especially Social Media into
and addiction and a cash cow.
