Non-COVID Deaths Are Still Way Higher Than Normal. Why?

The increase in total deaths - deaths from all causes, not just COVID deaths - is up significantly.

As shown on the right edges of the chart, going into the summer of 2023, weekly deaths from all causes remained persistently higher than normal.

Excess deaths in the U.S. are still about 7 percent above normal.

Even during the first week of January 2023, when total deaths reached a yearly peak of 70,165 compared to a normal average estimate for that week of 57,545, only 3,656 of those 12,620 excess deaths were reported as COVID deaths.

During the last week for which we have completed data, the week of June 26, 2023, of the estimated excess deaths of 3,265, only 566 were reported as caused by COVID. In an attempt to get an idea of who is dying, the next chart shows deaths by week for the period of January 2015 through June 2023, plotted by age group.

At least according to the CDC, the vast majority of them are not dying of COVID. Altogether, based on CDC statistics, the difference between excess deaths and deaths reported as COVID deaths in the United States over the past three years now exceeds 650,000.

The percentage of excess deaths that are not recorded as COVID deaths has never been higher, and currently exceeds 80 percent.
