The death graph shows that the number of deaths are, more or less, increasing linearly. The R^2 value of 0.98 indicates that the linear regression line is a pretty good estimate for the rate of increase.

So, although the number of deaths increased in 2020, the amount of increase was below the linear regression line. This means that 2020 did NOT experience an exceptional increase in deaths.

If you look at deaths for causes other than kung-flu, you will see that they dropped last year. Given the number of overall deaths maintained the expected linear increase, this indicates that many deaths were attributed to kung-flu instead of the other causes we'd see in years past like heart disease, cancer, diabetes,etc.

The reason we see an increase in deaths, year over year, is due to an overall increase in population.

TLDR:

They called many deaths kung-flu deaths but any other year they would have been labelled as the root cause. 2020 did NOT see a massive spike in the number of people that died overall.

You bring up an EXCELLENT point!

Studies show that every 1% increase in unemployment translates into approximately a 1% increase in suicides. So, many would argue that traffic deaths are down since many people are driving less.

However, the real questions are, how many deaths are the result of:

  • Increases in suicide
  • Drug and alcohol abuse
  • Domestic abuse
  • Not visiting a healthcare provider for issues that could've been mitigated with proper treatment.

You're welcome.

These graphs show blatantly how much we were scammed this year.

I'm done with it and ready to fight back.
