Iceland had about the same population as Placer County in California where I live, and when the lockdown started I was looking at that. This morning Placer County population has increased retroactively. Both were around 360K.
How will they hide the excess death data in small countries? I keep thinking that maybe the world population data has been skewed and inflated for decades in preparation for this.
I checked out Iceland's chart and thought I downloaded it but I had so many I didn't add it. Placer County, Iceland, and my hometown of Toledo Ohio have roughly the same population so I'm acquainted with the outlines.
I looked at countries big and insanely small and as I wrote had an extremely difficult time finding any which Our World in Data showed normal cumulative excess death charts for. Was it Antigua or Barbados I found something normal looking for? I can't quite remember.
The problem is that some of these tiny countries are run as more independent fiefdoms than the bigger ones. Some might fold and other small pop island nations might be like screw this we're taking care of our own. Many have excessively detailed records about every one of their citizens especially as it concerns these island nations and a lot of administrators very concerned about their jobs if nothing else.
Excess deaths of 140 or so might not look like much on an island of 79,000 but a lot of this data is still roughly scaling out where I can find it...
One thing that struck me as the government began lying with their various Covid statistics was how seamless it was. There weren’t bureaucracies filled with people who had never done anything like that before- if so, there would have been first-timer mistakes, complaints, etc.
There’s a theory that world or at least Western population has been falling for a while but they don’t want to acknowledge that for policy reasons. Maybe it’s true, but at the least all numbers seem suspect now.
As a personal anecdote I see a lot of babies and young children in Thailand right now and a fair number of pregnant women at least here in the North. The death stats here show continued excess and the birth stats though not official from the Bangkok Post and such show demographic gloom and doom and ever declining fertility rates. Yet I don't see it on the ground. Is that a like attracts like thing or is something else going on there?
Back when the hysteria started I saw the cruise ship the Diamond Princess as a very useful petri dish. Mostly old(er) folks confined and exposed, studied, measured, what happened to them should be an excellent indicator how the China bat bugs would affect the rest of us.
For quite a while I tracked the Diamond denizens' mortality and morbidity data and, oddly enough, such was well within the expected range for that age group, no noticeable spike due to the newflu.
After some months the data sources dried up but in my opinion a solid pattern was established.
I think Ed Dowd has probably the most stats from the most countries, and plotted the 1st day of vax rollout, each initial rollout, “Oops! Did we say you only needed ONE vax?”, “Oops! Did we say you only needed 3?” At each rollout there is a huge spike at about the 2nd or 3rd week afterward.
Ed was a Blackrock stock exchange stats guy, so the higher ups in that world must’ve put great stock in his abilities at stats! He can be found on X , the artist formerly known as twitter, @DowdEd or @DowdEdward.

I'm reminded of the meme you posted reflecting that 85% of the population believe human stupidity will bring about the end of the world.
We are on track...
Oh, nicely done!! Graphs, like pictures, seem to communicate instantly.

Well done.

I have a lot of Ed Dowd's stuff he's awesome here's one recent one I watched:https://rumble.com/v4p57qk-government-and-media-pretending-massive-health-crisis-not-going-on-ed-dowd.html
If I ever get back to Maui I'd recognize him anyways! Whether that would be a good thing remains to be determined...
