A deleted JHU newsletter article “was being used to support false and dangerous inaccuracies about the impact of the pandemic”
Some tried to use the article to say that deaths from all causes in 2020 is typical or similar to 2018

The deleted article cited 1,7 million US deaths from all causes in weeks 12 through weeks 38 for 2020
But expected deaths were 1,4 million
Excess of 285k deaths or nearly 20%
Average over 10k per week
But what about 2018?

Is 2020 similar to 2018?
Deaths from all causes was 1,4 million for the same period
And expected deaths were 1,4 million
Resulting in no excess deaths
Every week but 2 had deficits
Averaging a deficit over 800 deaths per week

So it’s false to suggest that 2020 is similar to 2018
False to suggest that there were no excess deaths in 2020
As I’ve tweeted out previously
The CDC has already reported excess deaths of 299k
