Incorrect presentation of the data. Need to look at gross total of deaths per unit time, not causes of death. Then if the trend is higher than historical, that delta can be attributed with a special condition.

like

Yep, people are looking at unexplained deaths or number of deaths versus prior averages to gauge whether the disease is more widespread than testing is showing.

I don’t think anyone was suggesting any other cause of death killed more per week

Maybe the total number of covid deaths will end up being less per year versus car crashes or what have you.

But these people always seem to forget that these deaths are IN ADDITION to what we normally get AND they take out our healthcare workers (whether due to sick leave or death or quarantine) which the flu or a car crash typically doesn’t. 🙄

EY the historical baseline are the people who would have died anyway. Anything excess would be explained by COVID or an as yet unknown cause. But Occam’s razor would suggest COVID.

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week. I don't understand how that's legal since it is so off the calendar of services and crosses calendar years (and insurance coverage), where most costs are incurred at the end of pregnancy with increased visit frequency and delivery.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
