Trend Continuity... When viewed in the context of the steadily increasing death rate since 2008, the pandemic appears to have exacerbated a pre-existing trend rather than fundamentally altering it. The increase in death rates from 2008 onward appears to follow a relatively linear pattern, with or without COVID-19.

Population Growth... Death rate is calculated per 1,000 people. A growing population dilutes the impact of deaths on the overall rate. For example, immigration and natural growth may have contributed to the slight decline.

The steady rise since 2008 underscores systemic issues beyond COVID-19 Chronic Disease Burden... Obesity, diabetes, and heart disease continue to rise despite medical advancements. Substance Abuse: Overdoses (opioids, fentanyl) and deaths of despair (suicide, alcohol-related diseases) remain alarmingly high. Economic Disparities... Persistent socioeconomic inequalities exacerbate healthcare access issues and mortality risk. The rise in the death rate since 2008 aligns with broader demographic and public health challenges in the U.S., such as the aging of baby boomers, the opioid crisis, and economic stress. COVID-19’s contribution to this trend was significant in the short term but did not fundamentally alter the direction of the growth rate.

Covid is back by the way
Not in the news yet some reason??

Hospitals and nursing homes on lockdown n my gf said her icu is packed and buncha ppl dying again

covid is here to stay, it's an additional illness, side by side with seasonal flu/cold.
Immunities will be developed, natural vaccines are being developed for those at risk.

You can thank the China+USA joint operation,
in which the usa pulled out due to 'unsafe working conditions' then a few months later covid was leaked.

Anthony Fauci and cohorts did in fact help fund that joint operation.

But when I told people this in 2019, it was labelled conspiracy.

Indeed, covid has, and always has been, a simple variant of the common flu.

There was no wet market escape, no lab escape, nothing else. Just a simple flu strain.

The common flu is often fatal to the weak, obese, and the elderly. Common knowledge!

Ukraine war give the establishment/contractor more $ than Covid with the billions they launder. No point in bringing back Covid for now. Maybe once the Ukraine war doesn't bring as much tax payers $ they will start bombarding the npcs with ''Get your Covid boosters'' again.

When trump asked if people could inject bleach to “clean out” the Covid, and then some of his brainwashed brood did it. Glorious. I wish they would all do that

Bumping this thread is exactly the kind of psychotic behavior I expect from people around here.

It was a lil different tho.

Common cold aka a coronavirus … not a common “flu”
but it was definitely different than other coronaviruses

Blood clots/ afib/ sinus tachycardia/ sinus brady / “covid” lung that you can physically see the difference from a covid-19 pneumonia vs a typical pneumonia on x-ray

Any strains other than the OG covid-19 are wack. But the 6 months or so of the original covid-19 was crazy. I remember doing CPR on 18 different people trying to save them in a 12 hour shift and they all died. Ages 30-55.
Never in my 5 other years I used to work in an ICU (biggest level 1 hospital in my state) did I see anything like it. Especially in young ppl

I bet you still queue up to get the latest booster shot but luckily nobody is forced to get them anymore and people are no longer doxed / cancelled / sacked / called fascists, if they don't

Talking about psychotic behavior, lol
