It’s not just covid either. More people will die of covid this year than died last year (when more died than the year before) of course, but the unrelenting pressure of mass death on a hospital system in freefall is also making everything ELSE deadlier. You’re more likely to die on the road than last year, you’re more likely to die of an overdose than last year, nearly every cause of death is up up up
When I say “it’s over” that’s what I mean. And it won’t get any better until things start blowing up
