2019 Deaths = 284,082
2020 Deaths = 241,257 (up to Oct 31 2020)

These are indisputable facts sourced from StatsCAN
...
Except statscan hasn't published final data for 2020 yet.

As I said (and as that provisional report mentions) you need to compare the causes of death to make any reasonable conclusion.

Your belief is a) that they are lying about covid as a cause of death and b) that the covid deaths would simply replace people who would have died anyway (and it's funny that you have two different conspiracy theories going on at the same time).

When the full data is out we can see where the changes were. If somehow the 22,000 covid deaths simply replace the 8,000 flu and pneumonia deaths then your 'theory' would be confirmed. In this reality though, those numbers don't work.

Nonsense

If 2020 has 40,000 fewer deaths than 2019 you would require more than 20,000 deaths PER MONTH to even equal the total
(and even in an equal raw number, the death rate is still lower since population did increase via births and immigrations year over year)

Plus the beyond captain obvious
IF we had 20,000 Covid deaths PER MONTH in Nov + Dec it kinda woulda made some news dont ya think?

Fact is we have fewer deaths this year than we did last year
Period

Yes we are awaiting final counts to see how many less
Yes we know more people died of covid than died of flu
Yes we know more suicides and drug od
And yes we predict fewer accidental deaths from stuff like car accidents etc due to many staying home

But we did not have some massive death count as predicted by the experts over this virulent flu known as covid

Why do you think 2020 has 40,000 fewer deaths than 2019?
And your own number for 2019 deaths averages to >23,500 deaths per month so you would assume that it would be perfectly normal for 2020 to pass 2019 if the numbers you posted were correct.

Plus the beyond captain obvious

Why would you think all deaths are COVID deaths? That would be silly.

Period
If you mean that "because we haven't counted all the 2020 deaths yet, we have fewer in the count" then yes.
If you mean "2020 had fewer deaths than 2019" you simply have nowhere near enough data to determine that.

Yes we are awaiting final counts to see how many less
Oh. You really think we have less on a raw basis.
No wonder you were so shocked when I said I expect us to have 300,000 in 2020. That must have seemed insane to you.

Don't worry our bet is still on

I am expecting a flat plateau but if final count is below 2019 even better

Gotcha.
We're just reading the data very differently.
I think StatsCan updates it every two months, but I'll just try to remember to check consistently.

Can I cash in on some of this and put some money down on Val???

I'm sure you can link us to the statscan site where they list causes of death right?


Until you provide it, I'll leave you with the simple fact that accidents are Canada's third leading cause of death most years and when people are in lockdown, there are a hell of a lot of accidents.

UPDATE

Statscan updated this morning.

From January to mid-December 2020, there were an estimated 296,373 deaths in Canada, representing an excess of 13,798 deaths above and beyond what would have been expected had there been no pandemic. This is about 5% more deaths than expected in that period, after accounting for changes in the population, such as aging, and about 7% more deaths than the 277,276 observed within the same time frame in 2019.
Looks like the data now extends to Dec 19. I expect just the extra week alone would get us the 3,627 needed to pass 300,000 and with two weeks (although we would need to knock off the last two days of the last week) we should be closer to 310,000. (I don' t think we will actually hit that, though.)

I haven't won yet, but I'm pretty confident.

WHAT!?!?!?!?

The things I learn about myself on this board.
Zhe?

Haha

If you are female then oops




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

What exactly is the bet?

2019 Deaths = 284,082
2020 Deaths = 296,373 so far (up to mid-Dec 2020)

The original post claimed death rate was flat. There was some discussion over where stats were coming from.
TeeJay eventually posted the counts from StatsCan, arguing 2020 was running behind 2019 and that overall it was flat, just like he said.
I thought he was misreading the report and accompanying tables and it was NOT flat and proposed a clean marker.

But since you disagree with my idea it isn't flat, let's lay cards on the table.

I expect us to hit 300,000 deaths for 2020 when the tally is done and a rate/1000 that cracks 8.
I expect both but since I don't know what the denominator would be, I won't be shocked if I only get one.
TeeJay agreed that 300,000 would count as not flat.

300,000 would be an increase
From 284 that is nearly a 10% increase

I would not deem it a catastrophic pandemic but at that point the covidiots def would win

I just don't see it happening, esp since lockdowns were in force for hotspots like Montreal, GTA and BC at that point
Today's release puts us at 296,373, so while I haven't technically won (and you can argue I won't until 2022 or so because final death counts are rarely 100% final until a couple of years later) I think I'm safe declaring victory at this point.

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.)

Don't sweat it. I'm a guy. Just being comically over the top.
Oh I got that

Hence why I tried to push you into a non binary role

Trying to save face as the chinese call it haha


Still annoyed I could lose the bet based on non-covid deaths pushing it over the top
(and yes we both know totals will never be accurate to the person, that is why we said a range)
