The vast majority of the 260,000 people who had died would have likely died this year anyway, even if there were no Covid. Though some/many may have lived just a few months longer if not for Covid.
"the total decrease in deaths by other causes almost exactly equals the increase in deaths by COVID-19"
The other diseases...
Heart Diseases, Cancers, Chronic Respiratory, Cerebrovascular, Alzheimer, Diabetes, Flu & Pneumonia, Nephritis, Other Respiratory, Septicemia, Not Classified
2018 thus far at this point has had slightly more deaths than 2020 has. Many of the dead people from Covid had severe health issues and would have likely died from those severe health issues, which is why the university study points out some the severe conditions that normally kill people in bigger numbers are down.
Keep in mind that the lockdowns have also killed people.
That's what is amazing......2018 really did have more deaths
...what the study argues is this
less people died of heart attacks...more people died of covid
less people died of cancer.....more people died of covid
for every number that went down on one side.....that same number went up on the other side
No doubt the families of 260,000 people would disagree.
And the families of 329,792,960? How about the families of 60,442,885?
PS: how many families within those numbers that have lost their jobs. going hungry and are being kicked out of their homes, do to no fault of their own, do you think would agree?
I love it when people post "John Hopkins Study" and then use the Gateway Pundit as a reliable source for interpretation. That is not a study, it's a student newsletter from Johns Hopkins by an economics major but I don't see the title claim there either.
How about posting the actual study directly from the CDC or Johns Hopkins that says "relatively no effect on deaths".
The media, globalists and American left successfully shut down the greatest modern economy this nation has ever had, over nothing.
That's right, bud. They pulled off the greatest hoax in the history of the human race, causing nations across the globe to shut down our economy. Cue evil laughter.

There is an effect. More people died from covid and fewer people died from other diseases, about the same amount of people.
