Growth Death Cult

“All growth requires more consumption, which requires mining more non-renewable materials and more energy, which is unsustainable. On a planet on the verge of multiple tipping points, the extraction required to even begin to replace fossil fuels would be suicidal. To decarbonise, managed degrowth is our only possible option. ‘Green growth’ just replaces fossil fuels with renewable energy and traps us in this spiral of environmental damage.”

Diabetes mortality has not been so quick to recover from first year spike, only beginning to decline in the second half of last year, though still well above pre-pandemic trend. Deaths by sepsis were markedly down in 2019, following a coordinated national effort by hospitals. Despite this, sepsis mortality has been climbing at a rate well above even pre-2019’s relatively flat trendline, for over three years now. Renal failure deaths didn’t see an appreciable climb until the latter part of 2021, peaking only months ago. Meanwhile, malignant neoplasm (cancer) deaths, slower to manifest, have been suggestively creeping above trend for well over a year.

Given evidence linking covid infection to sudden onset liver damage, recent increased liver disease mortality is hardly surprising.

Chart is blank 2020 to 2022. Caption: Historically, U.S. health authorities have published “Final Data”—detailed tables and demographic analysis of causes of mortality—about eighteen months, give or take, from the close of each calendar year.

Per WHO, every twelve minutes four people die of acute covid. Three of those deaths are in the United States.

Entering April, for every three covid deaths, U.S. saw another excess death not attributed to covid.

The emergency is over. Covid is not done with us.

Chart: Rolling Year Pandemic Mortality: United States Data: CDC, NCHS [ beadsland on Ko-fi ] Line chart shows (i) rolling annual excess deaths for all causes (with estimated deaths for recent weeks into July) and (ii) acute covid deaths into July. The former figure has been roughly between 175K and 200K from March to June, toward 165K in July. The latter has declined from about 150K to around 125K over the same period, toward 115K in July. Additional lines reflect: (i) share of excess deaths and (ii) percent elevated observed deaths over 2017-2019 average. The former spiked from about 10% in Feb to near 30% in May, only slightly down since. The latter fell to below 12% in February and has held near there since. Caption (in relevant part): As of April 1, over one in four excess deaths in the U.S. were “not covid”. Incomplete preliminary data has this ratio approaching three in ten entering May. That includes: covid deaths not reported as such or for which no covid test was administered; deaths from post-acute sequelae of prior covid infection (whether consequences of symptomatic Long Covid, post-acute organ damage not specifically identified as Long Covid or otherwise asymptomatic, heightened risk for sudden adverse health outcomes); and deaths from causes that would otherwise had not been fatal but for deferred medical care, continued strain on understaffed hospitals, and inadequate availability of vital medical supplies.
