Uh oh. Now it falls apart.
Despite COVID getting the greatest media attention of any event since World War II, the latest data from a respected statistics website shows that, globally, the number of deaths from all causes for 2020 was no higher than expected, given previous years’ totals. In addition, the annual world death rate per one thousand in population has been steadily declining since 1950, from 20 per thousand in 1950, to 7.6 per thousand in 2020, the same as in 2019. The data was captured by the web archive Web.Archive.org. Because it is now six months into 2021, the data reflects late-arriving data.
The data shows that total world deaths from all causes held steady at about 58.8 million per year since 2019. In 2017 the total was 58.7 million. If anything, global deaths were lower than expected last year, due to aging Baby Boomer demographics, which accounts for a slight, normal rise in deaths in most years.
In global terms, if excess deaths are the criteria, there was no pandemic.
That is not to say there was no pandemic in certain places. But overall, globally, no more people died than were expected to die in 2020, under normal crcumstances.
