"Although total U.S. death counts are remarkably consistent from year to year, US deaths increased by 20 per cent during March-July 2020," according to the research, authored by Dr. Steven Woolf and colleagues at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine and the Yale School of Public Health.The researchers analyzed death data from the National Center for Health Statistics and the US Census Bureau.
New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts -- the three states with the highest death rates -- accounted for 30 per cent of U.S. excess deaths, but had the shortest epidemics, according to the researchers. "Some states had greater difficulty than others in containing community spread, causing protracted elevations in excess deaths that extended into the summer," the researchers wrote.
They wrote: "these deaths far exceed the number of US deaths from some armed conflicts, such as the Korean War and the Vietnam War, and deaths from the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, and approach the number of deaths from World War II."The United States has experienced high coronavirus death rates during the pandemic, even when compared to other countries with high COVID-19 mortality, according to a separate study that also published Monday in JAMA.
That’s because that’s what they are getting recorded as
Haven't seen Main Street USA in a big mess of all kinds of division trying to figure out Trump. Who you need to blame from the penthouse balcony?
In coming right-wingers to scream into the void
How does this compare to excess deaths in prior years?
Obesity kills
Lol. Every person who replied to this story is pro-Trump, Anti-Trudeau, anti-CTV, covid deniers. Glad you all have the ability to be your own people and think independently! 🐑 🐑 🐑 Four legs good! Two legs baaaaad!
Another horrible article attacking US. They focus on trying to fear you. The truth is that there are less deaths in 2020 than in 2019 thus far. A drop in deaths!!! That’s a fact, let’s not lie about the numbers and I don’t see anyone saying covid is “fake” virus.
CTV gives 20% more fake news this year mostly due to COVID & the US election
So...high COVID cases in America are the Federal government and Trump’s fault...but in Canada, high cases and a rising death toll are INDIVIDUAL’S and the PROVINCES’S fault NOT the Federal government’s NOR Trudeau’s...why the bizarre DOUBLE standard...?
Fuck off!
Fake news. Not this year, the study was from March 1 to August 1 (6 months). In addtion, people who died for reasons unrelated to COVID-19 but tested positve, are included in the COVID-19 death counts.
What gives, thought this virus was supposed to be a deadly one ?
Wow just come right out and lie about it then don’t hide behind a veiled statement just tell us there will be no minor hockey until you have vaccinated the world ... that’s as bold as CNN u guys should get paid more if you are going to be part of the new world order
CTV is dead news.
What were the other ailments that helped the causes of death? The other 94% of covid deaths, that had multiple issues
Most? Or just statistics that were going to happen anyway?
So...high COVID cases in America are the Federal government and Trump’s fault...but in Canada, high cases and a rising death toll are INDIVIDUAL’S and the PROVINCES’S fault NOT the Federal government’s NOR Trudeau’s...why the bizarre DOUBLE standard...?
6%
Numbers show it pretty close to normal years.

Ya, there Overdoses, like here in Canada.
The incompetent Liberals caused hiw many needless deatgs? Canada's death rate is 254/m, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, all less than 15/m. The MEDIA, needs to stop giving these morons a free ride! God, you people ate stupid!
More fake news. Also not researched, increased cancer deaths, heart attacks, suicides, and other diseases that were prevented treatment because of the fake hysteria over a virus less deadly than flu. The media is responsible for these deaths, it's sold out the people.
Blame it on Biden
If Demo Rats had been in power, 2 million would have died rather than 200,000. They were against stopping flights from China (the heart of the plague). So was Trudeau.
