After adjusting for population increases, the state of AZ has about 22% more deaths in 2020 (9,000 in total after adjusting for population) through Sept than the next worst year in the last 10, yet has reported only 5,000 as Covid-related. What’s really weird is that 2020 got off to a good start with Jan deaths below average after accounting for population growth, about avg in Feb, and then boom. July alone had in excess of 3,000 more deaths than any other prior year after adjusting for population.
Does our resident conspiracy theorist
@MSK357 have an explanation? It’s almost like something happened starting in March that has never happened before and, even then, the state is dramatically understating whatever it is. Maybe the best crop of jalapenos ever is causing a heartburn death epidemic? 9,000 suicides caused by inability to play SoCal teams for a couple months? What can it be?
