CDC 2020 DEATH TOTALS DOWNLOAD

The chances of the “Coronavirus epidemic” pushing that figure noticeably up, in a way such that someone at a distant time or place glancing at a table of deaths for a long period would immediately notice, appears to now be zero. This year is decidedly NOT an aberration.įor the US, the Macrotrends site below estimates 8.88 deaths per 1,000 residents for 2020, which would be about 3 million deaths of all causes for Jan. There is a HUGE factor omitted from all of these “excessive death” numbers which is the way that the “excessive death” numbers have been trending over the last decade in the US. I’ve also downloaded US state data, which I’ve working through to get the New York City and New York State data from, which has been the worst-hit area in the US.

So I’ve made a bar graph out of this data.Ĭan you see a once-in-a-century disaster here? Or did the various lockdowns amazingly save millions of lives? (They sure were amazing, those lockdowns, weren’t they?)Ģ020 is so far only 10% above the five-year average (which is 1 045 365).īear in mind as well that some of these 2020 deaths will be lockdown deaths, rather than Covid-19 deaths.

(I found that if you opened the file directly into Excel, it didn’t load in any sort of useful way, but if you save the file first and then download it, it works.)

The CDC website is pretty awful, and unorganised, and it leads you around in circles, but eventually I found them on this page about the flu. For quite a while I’ve been trying to find the US all-cause death stats for the recent years, but I always assumed that before too long someone more knowledgeable about the US figures would get them and make a graph.
