Karl, I agree all the deaths can't and shouldn't be attributed to covid... and I also ignored what the CDC says are covid deaths, but dang! I was kind of expecting to see the spike early in the year due to nursing homes being hit hard, but then drop below the 5 year average, on the theory the elderly were in their final lap of life and got called to the hereafter a bit earlier than other wise would have been the case. I was surprised to see the lines never got close the rest of the year and even accelerating apart. That's a significant bunch of folks getting their time card punched!
