Although you are inching closer to victory I do note the report states direct impacts of Covid 19 cannot fully account....
They do seem to imply very large upticks in things like suicide / od
That is pretty funny actually.... I predicted something looking only at covid deaths and nondirect covid deaths appear to be my downfall
Still have a chance tho
It will take time to take in full direct effects of COVID-19 - but that's normal, it usually take a year or two to get all the stats in. If you look at 2019 on stats can I think it is still listed as provisional count.
What the report is showing is that the excess deaths tracked with COVID deaths in the first part of the year (wave 1). Then, in the fall, they diverged. COVID deaths were about
half the excess deaths, and they do think some of that excess came from Overdosing and Suicide. Then, towards the end of the year, the excess seems to be more dependent on COVID-19 again.
Through Dec19 StatsCan has 13,798 excess deaths and 12,640 COVID-19 deaths.
Over the course of the year, the excess is heavily influenced by COVID-19. (But not totally, since COVID-19 is replacing some deaths that would have been expected from other causes.)
