@EWoodhouse7 provides an important insight on C19 lockdown deaths in Illinois and Colorado provides some additional context
Even the most craven C19 lockdown apologist knows in their withered heart of hearts that there are significant numbers of lockdown deaths no matter how vicious a protective chaff they kick up. The question has really just been how immorally huge they are.
Now @EWoodhouse7 has provided significant insight into that using the Illinois 2020 morbidity data.
Here’s my attempt to summarize the situation with my annotations on her key slide alone. Obviously it’s not as good as her entire thread and biased to my views but provided in the interests of those who will just take the time to look at a single chart. Click and blow it up.
The composition of that home deaths bar when compared to the previous year (a version of excess deaths) is devastating. But my comments on the other death locations are interesting as well.
And to calibrate you on Larimer County, CO re that particular comment on the chart: Yes, it is where I live but I moved here many moons ago for a reason. Holding aside little details like the latest forecast for 4 feet of snow in a classic upslope this weekend on the Rocky’s front range (no more snowfalls my *ss) this is one of the great places to live in the world especially if you like sun and an outdoor lifestyle.
Very related: We have one of the lowest population level BMI’s in the US so we should be — and are — lower than average for C19 stats currently coming in at #43 on US C19 deaths/million. And LOL for the “Polis is doing so great” lockdown explanation, Idaho is at #42.
So if you take the view that CO is showing something closer to what a healthier US would be like on stats and that CO’s Polis is more of a wanna be tyrant re cooking the books than the truly, truly awful Pritzker then Larimer’s clear stats of >50% C19 deaths in care homes, a max 10% excess deaths increase (but where did the flu go again?) and only 7% of deaths below retirement age speaks volumes on what C19 really is compared to what the 24/7 multimedia propaganda campaign would have you believe.
Yes, CO is also dealing with the boomers hitting the peak of the population pyramid which is perhaps the key factor here rather than the obesity/ poor health add-on that large sections of the US have piled up higher.
Colorado lockdown deaths? It still needs @EWoodhouse7 style analysis and I’m confident they are immorally high — there’s just not as much wiggle room for them in the stats to be outrageously disastrous.
And for the cherry on top the CDC recently furtively announced that 78% of C19 hospitalizations and deaths were obesity/ overweight related. Ever hear of the 80/20 rule?
Who’d a thunk it?
