Re: COVID 19 deaths by day
So now that another year is upon us, are the numbers available? I’m SO curious about yet total deaths in 2019 vs 2020. I’m having a hard time finding them

No. They won’t get finalized for quite awhile. However, there are some projections.

In it there’s a projection that the death rate will be around 9.4 per thousand. Here’s a good graphic for the death rate since 1980: https://usafacts.org/data/topics/people ... =PerCapita
The biggest increase or decrease from one year to the next is just 0.2 and that (9 times in 39 years) is rare. If the 9.4 is correct it would represent an increase of around 0.5 - 0.6. That would be a significant jump. 2018 was 8.7, so even if 2019 was a big jump of 0.2 (8.9) the 9.4 number would be 0.5 increase. That’s a huge jump in these terms. Even a 0.3 jump would have to be considered a very significant increase.
I’ve read that the 2019 death rate is 8.78 or 8.8 rounded up. So right now it appears that it will be a 0.6 jump. That’s very large considering most years see a movement of 0.1.

The Governor would have sweeping powers to indefinitely detain American citizens and put them in internment camps.
According to the proposed bill, the Governor will also be able to detain people who have come in contact with the “carrier.”
The only way an individual would be released from detainment is if the “department” determines the person is no longer contagious.
...
This sounds very very dangerous. Then who determines what disease qualifies for this and when you are no longer contagious.
I could see so called "mental disease" being a part of this and the person had voiced dissenting views.

If 25% is considered rare, then a death rate of 1% from covid should be considered very very rare.

Re: COVID 19 deaths by day
Yes, poor choice of words on my part. I should’ve said rarest, not rare. A 0.2 increase or decrease is the rarest of the three possible outcomes, which are 0.0, 0.1, and 0.2.wapiti wrote: ↑Sun Jan 03, 2021 9:36 amTomCat88 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 03, 2021 7:36 amNo. They won’t get finalized for quite awhile.

Re: COVID 19 deaths by day
Here’s another article for iltc.
“Final mortality data for this year will not be available for months. But preliminary numbers suggest that the United States is on track to see more than 3.2 million deaths this year, or at least 400,000 more than in 2019.
U.S. deaths increase most years, so some annual rise in fatalities is expected. But the 2020 numbers amount to a jump of about 15%, and could go higher once all the deaths from this month are counted.”

Why would deaths in 2020 not be available for months? People die. It’s on record. We have obituaries. And we even have a death calculator right on this board that has been updated every day for months. I don’t understand why there shouldn’t be a concrete, black and white total of how many people died this past year and be able to compare them to other years.
Which brings me to my next question. Why am I seeing conflicting reports on deaths? Whether it be total deaths in 2020 or how they relate to other years? It seems to me this would be hard fact, no nonsense, no grey area, facts.
We have to have a total of deaths in our county right? And each county should do the same? Thus we should know exactly how many deaths in our state? And if all states do the same thing we should know how many people died? I’m not asking “why” people died... but I got to admit I’m mind blown we don’t have numbers of deaths for each year and to get those numbers takes months after the year is over.
I’m going to keep digging a bit but I appreciate the links. Just seems weird in 2021 something like this would still prove to be difficult. I guess projections can go all directions. That’s frustrating in itself.

Re: COVID 19 deaths by day
Edit - I had 300,000, meant 3,000,000 for the estimated deaths in 2020.
Totally agree, and I don't understand it either. I understand it taking awhile to sort out "causes" of death, etc... but the total numbers should be available. When I did some research a few months ago on death rate statistics (because like you I am really interested in the total number of deaths we have in 2020 compared to how many were expected) I found it strange that I couldn't even find the 2019 totals yet because they were still not available. I think that has changed now and the 2019 numbers are available. I'll see if I can find the website, but I had listed out all U.S. deaths from 2010 to see the rates, and they were climbing year after year so I want to say 2020 was expected to have right around 3,000,000 if memory serves.ilovethecats wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 1:06 amAppreciate it.

Re: COVID 19 deaths by day
I've tried a little bit. Seems the info is all over the board, which is odd to me. Especially when we have this very thread where we keep track of covid deaths by the day, but we don't know if it amounted to any more deaths than we see every year. I've seen reports it's WAY higher due to the pandemic, and other reports saying the death rate is basically the same as every other year.iaafan wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 2:51 pmYou mean you don’t know?ilovethecats wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 1:06 amAppreciate it.

Re: COVID 19 deaths by day
Just did a quick search again, not even finding the 2019 total deaths so far, but I'm pretty sure I found them once, will keep looking. This is great "death data" for the U.S. from the CDC, but I'm not sure why they don't have the 2019 numbers posted here... I mean it's been over a year.

Re: COVID 19 deaths by day
Ok, here's a decent link. The 2020 numbers are still fuzzy yet and it sounds like this doesn't include Covid numbers but at least this should be accurate all the way through 2019 so we have a good idea of the death rate trend.ilovethecats wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 2:54 pmI've tried a little bit.

Re: COVID 19 deaths by day
Perhaps not enough resources are put into keeping track of that on a daily basis? Possibly because projecting it has been fairly easy and accurate until this year? I'm sure this is something we could do if it were deemed to be of high enough importance. There are 3,002 counties in the USA and I believe each one has a county coroner. I'm not sure how it works. Does the CC get the information and then process it to the state, then each state processes it to the federal gov't. Do all CC's have a deadline each week/month to have their data off to the state gov't and does each state have a weekly/monthly/quarterly date? I work in an office that reports information from about 40 different agencies to us, but only each quarter and then that information is sent to the feds yearly. So I assume there's some kind of plan for reporting deaths, but no idea at all how it works. Interesting subject. Anyone know?ilovethecats wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 1:06 amAppreciate it.

I look at Worldometers.com. As for the Covid numbers we get each day, those aren't always for that day. Most of those deaths occurred the day before and some before that. I notice that some states have a number by 10:00 AM and others not until noon or later. Some more populous states have a number reported, but it gets up dated once or more as the day goes along. So to say that we're capable of tracking the Covid deaths, but not the other deaths might be giving those tracking Covid too much credit. The Covid deaths are generally thought to be significantly undercounted at this point. There are those that think Covid is overcounted, but the general consensus is that they're undercounted. There are also people that want there to be as much confusion about the numbers a possible in order to create doubt. Maybe I'm one of them?

Could it be that every person that died of Covid would've died within a few days/weeks anyway? I tend to think not. My guess is that quite a few people that died of Covid, probably would've died within the year anyway, but very hard to say just what percentage that would be. Some people that die from cancer would've died before the year was out from something else if they didn't have cancer. We know that due to the sheer number of people that die from cancer annually, which is 650,000 or so. If you took a cross-section of perfectly healthy people on Jan. 1, certainly some of them would die of other ailments or accidents before the end of the year.
So the more I write, the more apparent it becomes that you can go all kinds of directions with this due to all the variables. Even if someone was tracking all deaths in the US daily, there would be some discussion about the accuracy.

Appreciate the info! Good stuff.TomCat88 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 6:31 pmPerhaps not enough resources are put into keeping track of that on a daily basis? Possibly because projecting it has been fairly easy and accurate until this year? I'm sure this is something we could do if it were deemed to be of high enough importance. There are 3,002 counties in the USA and I believe each one has a county coroner. I'm not sure how it works. Does the CC get the information and then process it to the state, then each state processes it to the federal gov't. Do all CC's have a deadline each week/month to have their data off to the state gov't and does each state have a weekly/monthly/quarterly date? I work in an office that reports information from about 40 different agencies to us, but only each quarter and then that information is sent to the feds yearly. So I assume there's some kind of plan for reporting deaths, but no idea at all how it works. Interesting subject. Anyone know?ilovethecats wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 1:06 amAppreciate it. Brings me to a couple questions.TomCat88 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 03, 2021 11:32 amHere’s another article for iltc.
“Final mortality data for this year will not be available for months. But preliminary numbers suggest that the United States is on track to see more than 3.2 million deaths this year, or at least 400,000 more than in 2019.
U.S. deaths increase most years, so some annual rise in fatalities is expected. But the 2020 numbers amount to a jump of about 15%, and could go higher once all the deaths from this month are counted.”
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nat ... 006270001/
Why would deaths in 2020 not be available for months? People die. It’s on record. We have obituaries. And we even have a death calculator right on this board that has been updated every day for months. I don’t understand why there shouldn’t be a concrete, black and white total of how many people died this past year and be able to compare them to other years.
Which brings me to my next question. Why am I seeing conflicting reports on deaths? Whether it be total deaths in 2020 or how they relate to other years? It seems to me this would be hard fact, no nonsense, no grey area, facts.
We have to have a total of deaths in our county right? And each county should do the same? Thus we should know exactly how many deaths in our state? And if all states do the same thing we should know how many people died? I’m not asking “why” people died... but I got to admit I’m mind blown we don’t have numbers of deaths for each year and to get those numbers takes months after the year is over.

Re: COVID 19 deaths by day
Only anecdotal evidence, but about more populated areas at least, I’ve read several articles about morgues and morticians and crematoriums and funeral homes being absolutely overrun by the number of deaths. That would certainly indicate an over-abundance of deaths.

Re: COVID 19 deaths by day
A good indication that those who died from Covid were extremely weak due to age and/or other illnesses will be the amount of decrease in the death rate.
For example, if the 2019 death rate is 8.8 and it jumps to 9.4, but is followed by a huge drop to something like an 8.4, then we can attribute the high rate to age and/or illness. If it just drops back to something in the 8.7-8.9 range then the likelihood of that decreases. That assumes that Covid is all but eliminated at some point. If it continues then it will be awhile to use this method of evaluation.
It’s also important to note that the increase in the death rate for 2020 does not include very many Covid deaths in the months of January, February and March. I’m guessing over 95% of the deaths occurred from April through December. Death rates are based on the calendar year. The Covid year, if you will, may run from from April 2020 to March 2021. That year would give a more accurate depiction of the the effect of Covid on deaths if you want compare Covid to a normal year.
