More Evidence that COVID-19 was Here Late Last Year

The CDC put out more data on “select causes” of death!

Up until know we had only #COVID19, flu & pneumonia for 2020.

A BIG revelation from this data… more strong proof that #COVID19 was here BEFORE January.

Let’s begin with ALL deaths by week and year:

In the chart in the first tweet we see ALL CAUSES of deaths for each week from 2014–20 for weeks 1–21

I highlighted the burst of deaths presumably for #COVID19

I also highlighted Jan 2018 for a very high influenza season. CDC gives us these “select” causes to choose from

So if we narrow the chart JUST down to COVID-19 we see this. They also give two different breakdowns of COVID-19 “underlying cause” and “multiple cause of death”

45,370 Multiple
42,670 Underlying

So, there’s a 3,300 difference. Still LOTS of problems interpreting this
