11/30 to 12/ was a sharp trend up. Since then, not so much.
El Paso County had 144 new deaths (population of 720,000). The next highest was Dallas County, with 19 (population of 2.6 million). 56 counties had zero new deaths. 22 counties had one new death. There are 250 counties in Texas. Five counties have more than 10 new deaths.
It is POINTLESS to spew numbers of deaths unless you use deaths per thousand.
You only sort of answered it. You said covid deaths have exceeded historical deaths. But you also stated that there were 300,000 extra deaths. Unless covid deaths exceeded by 300,000, you are wrong.
Give us the numbers, so we can compare for ourselves.
Cue the "you can google it yourself" excuse.......
No, they are extra. The only thing you have to do is to compare the number of deaths since the start of the outbreak this year to the number of deaths during the same period last year. The difference exceeds the official Covid count.
BTW, Japan has 48times lower Covid death rate than that of the US.
So what if the covid deaths are lower in Japan? That doesn't change the fact that MANY more Japanese have killed themselves than have died from covid.
I'm seeing articles now about healthcare workers begging for more mandates. I wonder at what point those healthcare workers will just quit and refuse to subject themselves and their families to Covid. I worry about the future of our healthcare system even after we finally get a handle on this.

Now, what I said is that the extra deaths this year have exceeded the official Covid death count.
It might not load properly, so click on "number of excess deaths" and then update the dashboard. Scroll down. And then, do not take the lower value, because the last several weeks of data is severely incomplete as explained below:
"Number of deaths reported on this page are the total number of deaths received and coded as of the date of analysis and do not represent all deaths that occurred in that period. Data are incomplete because of the lag in time between when the death occurred and when the death certificate is completed, submitted to NCHS and processed for reporting purposes. This delay can range from 1 week to 8 weeks or more, depending on the jurisdiction and cause of death. "
Stop with the lies. Nobody - NOBODY - said it was a hoax. That's a liberal lie that the mainstream media continues to spew.
Your number of 250 dead a day is also a lie.
And just reporting numbers doesn't tell the entire story. Texas is HUGE. Almost all the deaths are in one county, along the Mexico border. The number of deaths as a percentage of the population is virtually the same in Texas and New York, yet you haven't called out New York as being indifferent to the deaths. The number of deaths in Illinois is almost double that of Texas, yet complete silence.
Stop. Just stop.
Finn is in FL. He doesn't know anymore about Texas than I do in NC. I do know that Worldometers says they haven't had 250 deaths in a single day since August. And their 7-day average is now as high as Aug 27.
to compare El Paso to the state and country ...
6th largest population, 4th most cases, 5th most deaths.
63% of deaths are > 70; 82% are > 60.
they've 2 days of cases in the hospital; 1/3 a day's cases in the ICU (I don't know if this includes those patients sent to other hospitals)
current death rate at 1.3%
meanwhile in the US ...
hospitalizations = 1/2 day new (so EP 4x as bad), ICU's are 1/12 of a day's cases (so EP is 6x as bad).
