Surely, we either have a pandemic, in which case more people will be dying than expeced for this time of year.
OR - the pandemic is mostly a fantastic delusion, in which case levels of mortality would be about normal.
Well, I keep looking at the actual data, and the data doesn't show anything abnormal occurring.
That's not to say that mortality won't rise as we enter into winter, but then maybe we should be having a national conversation about Vitamin D and general health, wellbeing and lifestyle choices.
At some point this monomaniacal obsession with one flu-like viral illness has surely got to come to an end.
After I posted this, it occurred to me that some people will naturally think, "aha, but that's because the vaccine is working so well." SO - I grabbed the map from the same week of 2020, for the purpose of comparison.
And very interestingly - there was no pandemic in September 2020, either.
