John Hess MD @drjohnhhess.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Pretty good illustration of the relationship between respiratory infections (COVID, flu, RSV, etc.) or the lack thereof (currently) and ALL CAUSE MORTALITY. Those infections absolutely push a lot of susceptible people over the edge. 110
Daniel @truthinnumbers.bsky.social · 02/12/2024At this point, I can say with CONFIDENCE that 2024 will finish with a lower age adjusted mortality rate than either 2018 or 2019. This would make the age-adjusted mortality rate, in 2024, the lowest in US history. That's with 28K to 33K COVID deaths. 040
