In my previous post, I wondered why, in Hungary, the country with the second highest Covid mortality in the world, the overall mortality, from all causes appears to be below average at the time when Covid mortality is at an all time high.
We see the same strange phenomenon in this CDC paper looking at US mortality rates during the time of Covid.
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6942e2.htmIn September, we see that the excess mortality drops way too close to zero, given that there were plenty of Covid cases and deaths in that period.
Strangely, the effect is seen in the CDC paper, but not on the 'World Data' source I used for Hungary in the other post.
https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covidThe World Data shows an excess mortality that is decreasing in September, but remains well above 10%, as one would expect, given the Covid situation at the time.
So... I shall leave this as a homework to the reader. Is the CDC paper wrong? Or is the mortality indeed that low? And why?
Is it a problem with the way they report things? Maybe don't register the deaths until later? Unless Covid-related?
