tandors 888 Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Is there a possibility that the spike in deaths for 2020 was a case of covid19 harvesting people who were on the way out anyway and that there will be a corresponding lowering of death rates in the upcoming year? 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I think that's logical given the demographic spread of the dead. Likewise if we lost a chunk of a younger generation you'd likely expect a dip in deaths when they would've reached life expectancy. All things being equal and assuming the number of dead is large enough not to get lost in the random statistical nature of it all.

Like doctors and nurses on the front line. Hopefully there will be lower number of deaths next year due to the vaccine, if people are not to scared to take it.

Not worth more to us, than their own lives are to them. If I was 70/80 year old and told that your family can't visit you, you can't visit them, no physical contact, no hugs, no visits....and when I ask why? They say, "its for your safety, we're thinking of you." Their playing God. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
