Death rate is what we've been discussing. Care to admit you're an idiot. Of course a population that's grown by millions is going to have more total deaths.
Stick to the doughnut posts mate.

I believe that's only if our hospitals become overwhelmed.
Managed to book a Pfizer jab for tomorrow at Sandown Drive Thru, then you are meant to have your second jab 6 weeks later, not 3?
What are people waiting for?
The same people will be the ones complaining when we are still in lockdown at the end of the year.

Even by your own source (which if you read carefully is only provisional numbers for 2020 so should be taken with a grain of salt) 2020 is a massive jump in Death rate and the highest since 2003.
Stick to whining
Not sure of the relevance to the previous conversation, but the yanks seem pretty ready to keep living as well.
574,000 More U.S. Deaths Than Normal Since Covid-19 Struck (Published 2021)
Since the coronavirus pandemic began sweeping across the country last year, deaths have been 21 percent above normal. See the breakdown by state.www.nytimes.com
Whitley's Believe It Or Not: Football (fingers crossed) should return to normal at UF
Florida football games are not expected to be impacted by the surge in COVID cases. The Gators still plan on full capacity and regular gameday activities.

Unless they find another 50k deaths from somewhere, the point stands. Go find some more doughnut pictures henny penny.
You can attribute that largely to the media reporting of Az effects and conflicting advice between state CHOs
None of my wife’s parents or aunts/uncles have had jabs as they are waiting for Pfizer because of the fear factor
I get my 2nd Az next week

Your original post.
"Not the best or worst this century"
Far and away the worst since 2003.
"Not a bad result."
Death rate jumps from 900 odd deaths per 100,000 pop.
To OVER 1000 deaths per 100,000 pop.
Just give up and admit you are full of shit.
You can't pull positives out of the most deaths since WW1.
I was listening to an old Freakonimcs podcast episode no long ago. I think first published in 2013.
They discussed how a pandemic is the most likely event to lead to a cull population numbers.

Interesting stats
Any reason why 2003 was high?
Did 1919 influenza kill more than ww1?

It was on its way down then, it kept going down for a couple more years then plateaued around 900 per year per 100,000 pop for the last decade and a half.
Then mysteriously jumped up to over 1000 this year.
Cant think why.

I wonder whether these events are not designed to be intervened with. Are these events "pre-determined", so to speak, and if population continues to increase will these pandemics become more frequent and/or more deadly?
Why do these things exist in nature?
Not sure.
But what we have seen in the last 2 years is the lengths us humans will go to save our species.
Climate change has been an issue for 30 years. We have barely a dent made in reversing it. This is because it is not seen as a direct threat to most of the population. Few real drastic changes made. Oh paper straws over plastic ones....
COVID was a threat. We halted the economy, changed the way we live and accelerated vaccine research and came up with a solution and put it in place. All in less than 2 years.

A volcanic eruption led to a significant bottle neck in our genetic dna. They estimate only several thousand humans were left at that time.
Yeah have read about that, in Indonesia.
Theory being that given the time frame of human existence on this planet we are not really as advanced as we should be. This event stifled evolution.
Explains why we don't have hoverboards in 2021.

Covid a threat? Isn't it like .04% or less mortality rate?
Imagine a real pandemic like 50%, shit would be fun then.
Even 5% full economic and social crash would occur, people killing each other over a roll of toilet paper.

Would probably be higher if left unchecked, especially if no vaccine developed so quickly.
Not to mention the flow on effects.
Hospitals full of COVID patients means other ailments not treated.
This was a real threat to our population, maybe the planet needed it. But humanity prevailed.

50% mortality wouldn’t spread quickly enough unless it had an extremely long incubation period. Pandemic 101.

Heard of the Hendra virus?
Funnily enough I have, have a couple of horse trainer friends. Not sure on transmission rate human to human.
And still less than what it was just 17 years ago, when their population was younger and healthier. So, again not the Armageddon you feared. Death rates go up and down all the time, it's the price we pay for living life. Go and busy yourself finding some doughnut pictures for September.
