Covid 19 Pandemic has made no difference

 

The Pandemic has disrupted the economy and culture.

Curiously, for the better.

We now have WORK FROM HOME and more connectivity.  We also have a larger risk of disruption -- as shown by the seven-hour Monday 4 October FaceBook/Instagram/WhatsApp crash.

Looking at the death numbers for 2016/17 we see weekly average deaths that are consistent with the aging Baby-Boomers.

Note the jump between 2016 and 2017... the Boomers (born 1946) turned 70 in 2016, the life expectancy for Americans ranges between 76 and 79... so the death number MUST grow... if we assume it will be by roughly 2,000 per week each year, 61,000 dead per week would be expected...more if we do a proper demographic analysis.

2021 is right on target.  That means the virus hasn't really killed anyone.  It has only been a culling virus -- expediting deaths by a few months or, in the case of younger victims, exposing medical issues that would have killed the individual within a few years.

Clearly, MASKS & VACCINE ARE NECESSARY to protect those who have undiagnosed medical issues ... and those who have known medical issues.  For everyone else, we have no idea about the long-term effects or what mutations will develop if the virus is allowed to spread.
