"Excess mortality in the EU in December 2022 soared to +19% of the average number of deaths for the same period in 2016-2019...". Seen before but The Naked Emperor’s Newsletter just reminded me.
For context "the excess mortality rate was +30% in December 2020 and +24% in December 2021"...but why are so many people still dying?
It certainly can't be a coronavirus and with all the deaths from the panic that pushed us into the first lockdown [link added 21/02: hastening death, creating fear, getting the numbers to allow totalitarianism measures], plus the winter of 2020 you'd think - to put it very bluntly - the very weak, vulnerable and near-death would all have been taken, no? Yet all through the last two years we're still seeing scary numbers from everywhere:
...same in the UK (even Owen gets it but not for all the right reasons!)
...same in Australia ("In 2022, there were 144,650 deaths that occurred by 30 September and were registered by 30 November, which is 19,986 (16.0%) more than the historical average")
...same in New Zealand ("New Zealand has recorded the largest increase in the number of registered deaths since the 1918 influenza pandemic, new data from Stats NZ shows"...wondered why Jacinda legged it?).
How is it possible that this isn't the biggest media story ever? We had daily updates when they wanted you scared; now crickets and tumbleweed: they're scared you'll find out.
