i have been tracking the c d c death numbers for a while.
as of about this time last week, they were reporting about 80,000 more deaths than last year.
after not looking for 5-6 days, i looked again and they had added about 300,000 extra deaths, that closely matched the virus numbers .
guess they caught on to the fact that many of us were running the numbers from previous years compared to this year and made the adjustment to get the numbers to match the virus numbers.
so, based on the original numbers, it seems there were about 50,000 or so actual virus deaths, and 20-30000 others most likely due to people not getting medical treatments and stress and elderly people isolated away from their families and giving up..
and, no one is talking about this, but i have a aunt and uncle in their 80's , and were pretty much isolated from most of the family.
my aunt started to decline in health, and when the family started to go and check on them, she was not taking her meds properly.
( found pills on the kitchen table and on the floor).
so, she would have been gone by now if they were not being checked on.
and, i promise you all, this is not a uncommon incident....
