From Health Affairs Scholar:
New data from the Social Security Administration suggest there were 260 000 excess deaths in the United States among current or former disability beneficiaries during the first 22 months of the COVID-19 pandemic. These beneficiaries accounted for 26% of all excess deaths in the United States during this period. ...
Not at all surprising since covid hit the elderly and health compromised the worst.
ReplyDeleteI managed to escape Covid for 4 years, and just now have gotten it. I'm a claimant with a weakened immune system. I can CERTAINLY see why the numbers are so high. I am doing fine now, but last week was a whole nuther story! Luckily, I'm hanging in there without having to see a doctor or go to the ER. I've been in email contact with my doctor daily. I could see these numbers growing higher.
