Sorry you were downvoted for your comment, I agree with it and will toss my hat into the ring of downvotes. I spent countless hours doing data analysis on covid numbers, going to primary sources (as much as was possible). The data is horrible. From bad "covid id" methodology, to indeterminate and vague cause of death reporting methodology on death certificates, to mixed state and county level reporting mechanisms and weird sudden and inexplicable "boosts" in CDC all cause mortality in December, I'm completely at a loss for doing any meaningful analysis of covid data. Until the CDC releases anonymized source data, we won't be able to perform analysis that doesn't look like confirmation bias.
