Seasonal Death among the Young
In this prior substack essay, Winter (December-March) deaths were lowest with COVID, and highest with COVID jabs, in the Euro Area in those under age 45.
But the flu season can be longer than just the Winter season, extending out to six months instead of four. So this installment extends the analysis to the entire flu season for all six seasons, beginning with the 2017/18 flu season, which had been severe:
This longer time-frame in this age bracket confirms the earlier findings for just the Winter months only: For those under age 45, COVID was safer than the flu, but the COVID jabs, themselves, are more dangerous than the flu.
NOTE: Because 2020 was a Leap Year (which included a 29th week), to correct for this and normalize the final counts, a weekly average death count was obtained for each flu season, and then it was multiplied by 28 (to cover the 28 weeks in a non-leap year flu season). This produced “28-week death totals” which can be directly compared.
