looks like excess deaths in the USA as of June were <10%
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-mortality-p-scores-average-baseline?country=~USA
Which is obscene. Outside of a natural disaster, if you were to just randomly kill off millions of your elderly and immunocompromised population you would be running a negative excess mortality for years.
my personal favorite (not) is that traffic fatalities are up :(
Possibly also related to COVID, since it affects people's brains.
I almost got hit by TWO different drivers on Tuesday, within minutes, and immediately encountered THREE other shitty drivers.
The first was a truck that ignored a stop sign and almost T boned me. The second was some jackass I guess not paying attention behind me because the car in front of me stopped, I stopped, and then I hear screeching brakes behind me and see this car turned at an angle like a foot behind me, almost fucking hit me
while i was looking behind me processing that, some dipshit turning left across traffic decided now was a good time to squeeeeeze through the narrow gap between my car and the one in front of me, fucking jackass
Then within literally a minute of that Im being tailgated real bad by some shithead who rides my ass until he peeled off into a turning lane at 60mph
Then I'm at the store, driving in front of it, car in front of me stops for pedestrians..... and then DOESN'T FUCKING MOVE. FOR LIKE, 30 SECONDS, WHILE I'M GOING HEY WHAT THE FUCK, THEN THEY START CREEPING FORWARD AT 2MPH AHHHHHHHH GET OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY
"The Leftovers" was a show about how 2% of the population vanished into thin air simultaneously. The world goes fucking bananas trying to figure it out and come up with an explanation. It was aired from 2014 to 2017.
It's almost comical now that we're """post"""-covid. It's killed around 0.4% of the US population. Looking back at the show, the government was way too competent and people were way too rational. Zombie shows/movies have been the same way. Not only do people try to hide or ignore their symptoms, other people will deliberately risk infection to "own the libs" or whatever the fuck.
zombie shows are about the 1% of the population that is not human cattle
Lol yeah, post-apocalyptic porn is way too optimistic.🤦
