1m is worldwide right? I see excess deaths for US for the entire pandemic is around 470k. The US population grew 1.5 million just from July '22 to July '23. This is apparently above trend. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/12/19/texas-2023-population-growth-census/ https://www.texastribune.org/2023/12/19/texas-2023-populatio...

I think it was over a million just in the US just based on reported cause on death certificates. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/covid19/mortality-overview.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/covid19/mortality-overview.htm

I'm going to guess you didn't read your own sources > The raw death count gives us a sense of scale: for example, the US suffered roughly 470,000 excess deaths in 2020, compared to 352,000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths during that year. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker-home https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker-home Total Deaths 1,159,864 That roughly tracks.

  However that two years of excess mortality is still less than one year of population growth. How do you answer that

    Excess deaths.

    How is that relevant to how many people died of covid? We have pretty clear metrics of that, 1.1m. Excess deaths counts covid plus adjacent deaths due to avoiding care, poorer care delivery, and other confounding factors, as well as reduction in deaths due to less driving, risk taking, etc. We typically use excess deaths to measure in countries that were unable or unwilling to actually accurately report their death counts.

> 1m is worldwide right? This statement is at such odds from reality it actually makes me curious. You are off by a factor of 20x. Do you think that you are knowledgeable about the events of the pandemic? How did you get your news about it? Its made all the more puzzling by the fact that your own source has the correct figures.
