The death rate last year was only 8% higher than the normal number rofl
Lol you get your info from a misremembered facebook meme? Thats the only thing that comes up when you look up 2020 death rate 8%.
The real number is closer to 16%
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/04/23/us/covid-19-death-toll.htmlIf you want an academic source:
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2778234The total annual deaths in the US averaged around 2.8 million for years until 2020 then spiked to 3.3 million. Now if you're mathematically challenged which it seems you might be, punch 500,000/2,800,000 into your cell phones calculator app and it'll spit out a number. What is it?
